Potential New Boyfriend

Asheville, North Carolina

Potential New Boyfriend is a dessert and wine bar on Haywood Road in West Asheville, built around listening to records on its hi-fi. The main speakers are two 1986 Klipsch Cornwall II Heritage cabinets, backed by two 1978 Klipsch Heresy I Heritage speakers and a subwoofer, with acoustic treatment throughout so you can still hold a conversation. Daytime stays mellow and the music gets louder in the evening, mostly soul, R&B, disco and funk, with pop, rock, electronic and world music in the mix. Tuesday is BYOVinyl night, and the calendar adds DJ nights, Deep Listen sessions and movie nights screening films with iconic soundtracks. Everything served is made in-house, ice cream included, alongside wine, small plates and coffee.
