Select participants and date
Evening leans over the Blue Ridge as Asheville’s streets shift from coffee to cocktail. Neon flickers on art deco facades, buskers tune guitars in Pack Square, and the air hums with the soft clink of ice on glass. This is where the Let’s Roam app nudges you into the night—an app-led bar crawl that turns downtown into a puzzle you solve one clue, one sip, one side street at a time.
