“I’ve never had an interest in opening a second taproom,” said second-generation Family-Owner and President, Leah Wong Ashburn. An intimate private event space off the mezzanine with a Roaring 20s vibe and room for 40 seated guests.Street-side and indoor mezzanine seating.Two bars: small bar on the main floor and an expanded lineup of small-batch, sour, and barrel-aged beers on the mezzanine.The Highland experience at the S&W will include: The food hall will feature curated, crave-worthy food and beverages that tell the story of this city.” We reached out to Highland because we wanted to highlight the best of the best that Asheville has to offer as we bring this architectural treasure back to life. Burns Aldridge, Managing Broker and Principal at Ellington Realty Group said, “This is a passion project for us. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places and features an ornate Art Deco façade, wide marble stairs, soapstone walls with painted tiles, and intricate architectural details that make it one of the most notable buildings in the city. In 2017, brothers Douglas and Kenneth Ellington, bought the S&W building that their great-uncle, noted local Art Deco architect Douglas Ellington, designed and built in 1928. This project is rooted in family connections. Highland’s founder, Oscar Wong, said, “Highland was part of the rebirth of downtown Asheville back in the 90s along with many others – To return downtown and be part of the rebirth of this iconic building is nothing short of amazing.” This second taproom represents a special homecoming as Highland joins Ellington Realty Group and four-time James Beard Award-nominee Chef Meherwan Irani to revive an Asheville Art Deco treasure in the historic S&W Cafeteria building at 56 Patton Avenue.
