Local barber is awesome. Been getting my hair done by Jordan since before he opened the spot. I have ALWAYS been taking care of and treated with the utmost respect. They are very professional and kind. They get super busy sometimes but always do a good job. Like any business some people will on that rare occasion be unhappy or less than thrilled with their experience but thats how the cookie crumbles. Thats life. Ive always been more than pleased as have the people I have referred. I havent made a post yet because I felt like the barber shop spoke for itself but I saw the review about the guy whos been here for six generations or whatever. Im from here too and of all the places Ive been too this place treats me better than most and as good as any. Also, there were people here before your six generations etc. Thats the most irrelevant useless argument Ive heard for not being happy with a place. I mean come on dude. Do you really need to be pampered that badly. For the record I left this review without the knowledge or staff because I thought it needed to be said and Im not much of a walking on eggshells type of fella. Anywho, do yourself a favor and experience this shop. Its top notch for locals and visitors alike

I was in Asheville off a camping trip. Wife and daughter went to visit relatives and so I figured I would take a bit of personal time and get a haircut followed by hanging out with a beer. The place I was going to go was appointments only so a bit of research led me to ..... wait for the drumroll....Local Barber and Tap ! Thats right, a great barber and he serves a decent brew while you wait! Is this a great concept or what? I was sold. Now, I havent been to a real barber in 40 years. My wife has always done it and pretty well, too. The Local Barber did even better and even my wife liked it. I didnt really know what to ask for but he hit it on button. (seems he used to work at appointments only) This gent knows his stuff. If I lived in Asheville, Id be a regular. When I visit again, Ill be back. The place is a true barbershop with talent and a classic atmosphere I thought was long extinct. Even the chairs are cool. The brew was good and I hope the locals discover this man hangout. Thanks for a great cut and the brewski!

Got my hair cut at another place in town and ended up with a terrible cut. I was really stressed about it so I came here to get my hack job turned into a asymmetric fade and they did not disappoint. Arturo set me up and was so kind about my embarrassing cut. I might change my style just so I can go back more often. Theyre super chill and welcoming to females. If you want a hip and masc cut, a fade, or an undercut you should come here. 10/10.

I went by the Local Barber & Tap for the 1st time yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere when I walked in. Jamie was my barber. He hooked me up with an outstanding hair cut. He shaved my neck with a str8 razor and then put some smell good on it. Man that takes me back to my childhood.It was a wonderful experience. Lots of chit chat between customers and the barbers. I look forward to my next visit.

This place is awesome for a premium-quality-no-bullshit haircut with a beer. I used to bounce around Asheville from one place to the next and was continually disappointed with the cuts. Jordan and his staff have brought back the barber shop feel to Asheville. Its a place where they remember your name, shine your shoes and remember how you like your haircut. As long as Im in Asheville Im not going anywhere else again!

I was born and raised here in Asheville and so has my family for 6 generations. We miss going to sweet ole Joe King on Merrimon and longed for the same experience for my children. Did not have that today. Was treated very badly today and I am ashamed people are doing business like that in my hometown. No excuse to treat your fellow brother like that. Go back to wherever you came from with that attitude.

These guys really know what they are doing. I had a great experience and have had a ton of complements on my haircut since my visit. I really liked the classic barber shop vibe without feeling like I was at my grandpas barber. Im also glad to know that Im supporting a local business and have recommended it to friends who are looking for a quality cut. I will definitely be coming back.

I wish I lived closer to Asheville because this would be my barber shop. I came in when I was visiting and John gave me an excellent cut. I had a bad haircut a few weeks earlier and he was able to get everything even again and make it look like it should have the first time. He took the time to ask me what I wanted and it turned out great. Id highly recommend Local Barber and Tap!

Great atmosphere with some good choices of beer. Went with the boojum porter. Jamie was my barber, dude has mad skills. This will be my new spot from now on. Great customer service and they actually take their time cutting your hair instead of just rushing through to get more $$$. If you go here, you WILL LEAVE LOOKING FRESH. Thanks again Jamie.

I went in for a cut today. John cut my hair and it was the best cut ever! My wife said several times how impressed she was. I have not had a regular barber since I was 9 years old until today. I normally drive from place to place and stop where nobody is waiting....not anymore Id wait here and enjoy a beer in the meantime.

Jordan is a phenomenal barber. He is dedicated to the craft and has a very high quality standard when it comes to client satisfaction. Every haircut at Jordans barber shop has been flawless for me. The Local Barber & Tap is the best barber shop in Asheville. Its a great place for men to sit back, relax and be men.

Awesome experience! Walked in, grabbed a beer and had one of the best haircuts Ive ever had. I have wildly curly hair that never does what its told and John took care of me like a professional... And I was able to have a beer :) if I didnt have a girlfriend id be out on the prowl I look so good.

Stopped in to LBaT yesterday to get a haircut. What a great experience. A real barbershop (and I didnt even try the beers...a tad early in the day for that for me). Jon cut my hair after wed discussed how I liked to look...he listened and did a great cut. Thank you, Jon. Ill be back.

These guys saved my head. The last place I went left me looking like Freddy Kruger played piano on my head... And these guys brought it back to par. Thanks a million. I look human again! Check out the before and after photos to see what kind of miracle workers these guys are!

Walked in, got a good haircut! Jordan makes sure he knows what you want before he starts cutting to guarantee a cut you will like. And how many barber shops do you know of where you can also get a great beer? Hopefully this new business will continue to grow. Check them out!
