We're bringing back a favorite from a few years past - the Tokyo Vice. Toki Japanese whiskey, house-made yuzu syrup, Midori, black lemon bitters, topped with sparkling water and tonic. Bright, slightly sweet, with a beautiful bite of whiskey on the tongue. Come get yours before we sell out and say goodbye to the Vice for another few years. 🍋

And we're BACK. We said bye to Mei Mei, we had our lake party, and now we're back to keep shaking things up with some crazy jazz accompanied by amazing food trucks.

❓ Every Sunday is trivia with DumbAshe Trivia! 6-8pm, join our bar team and Harmon in a fun few hours of questionable competition. Always fun, and everyone usually leaves happy. Possibly with a $50 Jumbo gift card.
🎷 Monday, June 15th - The Core is what happens when five musicians with no business being in the same band end up becoming the most natural ensemble in Asheville, and they're joining up in our living room.
🎸 Tuesday, June 16th - Sanders, Boyd, Page & Hall distill the pure essence of improvisational expression, converging as alchemists of sound, transmuting musical elements into their most essential forms. This quartet embodies the philosophical concept of quintessence—the fifth element beyond earth, air, fire, and water, representing the fundamental substance from which all musical reality springs.
🎲 Game night game night, every Wednesday. 5-9pm, but if the party goes on longer, we won't mind. Just let us know who won.

Hi! We’re back from the lake and open for regular hours :)

Enjoy these pictures of my favorite weirdos. Every single one of them is just the absolute light of my life and I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to be on their team. I say it a lot but it never feels like I can fully express that I get work alongside TRULY the best staff in town. The way they support each other and love each other so fully is so rare.

I’m so lucky, and I’m so grateful.

Team, you are loved appreciated more than I could ever say out loud.

And congrats to Haile’s Angels for winning Beerlympics, haha.

WITH ALL THE LOVE IN MY HEART, FOREVER YOURS,
❤️ Elaina (and tea, i’m here watching)

Our dear Mei is parting ways for a while to move a little farther than we’d like - that’s why we’re inviting you to come say “See you soon!” to Mei before she moves along. Saturday, June 13th, you can see Mei as she slings some bottles at Little Jumbo and accepts all of your love. We’re sad to see her go, but we’re happy to share her with you on her last shift: the more love, the merrier.

We love you incredibly, Mei. Little Jumbo & Character Study are all the better because you’ve been here. We know this isn’t goodbye, but an until later. We’ll be thinking of you and missing you every single day. Collect all the miniatures, play all the Animal Crossing, kick school’s ass, and don’t you dare forget your Asheville family because we’d be very sad. See you soon Mei Mei. Our hearts belong with you. ❤️

This is an Ezra fan club. He'll be around next week, along with this awesome line-up. And remember, on WEDNESDAY JUNE 10TH AND THURSDAY JUNE 11TH we will be CLOSED for our annual staff party. Ask us for pics later, it's always a wild time.

Every Sunday, 6-8pm 🧠 Trivia hosted by DumbAshe Trivia. Guaranteed fun with the chance to win a gift card up to $50 or a shirt? We'll count you in.
🎸 Monday, June 8th - Guitarist Charlie Ballantine brings his trio to Little Jumbo for an evening that pulls from the deepest reaches of American song. Madrona Food Truck is also here, serving up some of the best burgers & chicken sandwiches in town.
🥁 Tuesday, June 9th - The Empyrean Trio ascends to the highest sphere of musical expression, where Sanders, Page, and Hall commune in the celestial realm of pure improvisation. We'll miss Will Boyd, but magic will be created nonetheless.
Put your game faces on every Wednesday and bring 'em to Jumbo. Steal our games or bring your own; it doesn't matter as long as you're here entertaining our bartenders. 🎲

We've got some new, super comfy furniture for you to enjoy on our patio! Look at how pretty it looks, and it will definitely look even better with you and a drink. ☀️

It’s that time of year! Your favorite Little Jumbo and Character Study crew are headed to the lake on June 10th. We return on June 12th for normal hours of service (4pm-11pm for Little Jumbo, 4pm-12am for Character Study) because we’ll miss you way too much.
Thank you for making Little Jumbo & Character Study everything we are. We couldn’t do this without our amazing regular faces and newbies alike. We appreciate you waiting for us, and we can’t wait to be back with you (even though we haven’t left yet.)

Big news in case you missed it - we have food trucks coming. Every Monday in June we're sharing our space with the amazing Madrona. This starts tonight, June 1st, 5:30p-9:30p. One day and one day only, we're having Big Mouth Empanadas! Tuesday, June 2nd, 6p-9p. You won't wanna miss these. Burgers and empanadas with jazz? Yeah. 🍔

We couldn't be any luckier than to have been mentioned in Garden & Gun's latest issue, recognized for our soulful and all too fun evenings of jazz. If you weren't convinced before, we hope this does it for you. Every Monday & Tuesday, a night to be had in jazz. 🎷 (link to article in bio!)

WE HAVE A FOOD TRUCK! I just wanted to tell you that. Starting Monday, June 1st. 🍔 Other than that, here's our cool line-up!

TRIVIA SUNDAYS! Yeah, we're still doing that. It's too fun, and makes it something all too memorable. The winner gets a $50 gift card to indulge in Jumbo, either immediately after their win or whenever they feel like hanging with us again.
🎶 Monday, June 1st - Trombonist Nick Garrison brings a quintet to Little Jumbo for an evening rooted in the lineage he has spent his life studying, the long thread that runs from New Orleans parade music through straight-ahead jazz and into whatever the players in the room make of it tonight. Expect deep-cut standards, traditional tunes pulled from the source, and originals shaped by twelve years of work between Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and the Crescent City. (and a food truck!)
🥁 Tuesday, June 2nd - The tried and true, Sanders, Boyd, Page & Hall. Come for some new tunes and some old, but they always make it feel as if you're hearing it all for the first time - and you might be. 7-10pm. Get ready to sway and cheer.
Wednesdays are game days! Bring your own or rummage through our stash of boards, dice and cards. We got whatever you need, plus the booze.
