I went to Woolworth Walk today; I have often walked by this art gallery although I never entered. I heard mixed reviews about it and decided to visit. The artwork is standard, there is some interesting photography and some nice art that children would like. Its also very affordable, less than 100 dollars a piece so that is great if your on a budget. Although I found the upkeep of the art gallery and the customer service to be very bad. Many of the art sections were missing sign in/sign out sheet; there was paper scattered all over the ground, everything was very crowded and there was no clear organization. When I walked in, no employee greeted me despite there be multiple employees at a front desk. They were just sitting there, talking to each other. I asked one employee,an older woman with grey hair for assistance in a piece I was interested in for my child. I didnt know if you could bring the artwork to the front-desk ,if you had to inform an employee, if there was a ticket. She just ignored me as if I wasnt there. There are no instructions posted in how ordering artwork works. When I left the store I nearly tripped on their sidewalk sign which was laying on the ground. Very disappointing and lacking gallery, I would not recommend visiting here.

The Soda Fountain inside of the Woolworth Art Gallery has some of the best sandwiches and salads in the downtown area for the best value. Honestly you cannot get a salad that huge for that price anywhere downtown. You guys and ladies are killing it. Theyre all so nice too and seem to really enjoy what they do. This place is my favorite lunch spot downtown. It can get pretty busy during lunchtime on weekends so plan accordingly.

I was impressed with the quality of most of the artwork. An old Woolworth Department Store building converted into a spacious gallery featuring numerous artists. Featured photography, watercolor, oil, pottery, jewelry, acrylic, metalwork and other mediums. Cute little soda fountain with 50s décor.

As an artist, after walking through, I was super inspired! There is a few open floors of a wide arrange of awesome art! I wish I had more time to look around! To top it off... there was an sweet diner inspired cafe to have a quick bite and a cup of joe! Happy face moment!

Food is great i go everyday well i did, but my last experience today will cause me not to go back ever again. I waited 35 mins for a BLT. Not sure where they get the bacon from but i wont be back for that. Also, i asked for ketchup and mustard for my hot dog...dont do that

This place tops my list when I look back at my trip to Asheville. It has a unique feel, and theres something for everyone. From abstract wall art to sculptures for a garden, this place had it all. Cant wait to go back and grab some original art for my home.

Really cool selection of arts! Theres literally something for everyone here. Theres a good selection of small items for gifts as well as a variety of things to take home! Statues, paintings, metal work, clothes - theyve got everything.

Best ice cream soda Ive had in over 60 years. Cant wait to go back for a second one. Thank goodness I only live an hour away. Wish Id found this 25 years ago. Oh! The crafts and art works are fantastic too! Well worth a special trip.

Dellicious food. Kind staff. Kind of neutral ambiance, i usually like to get food to go instead of sitting there, its kind of dark and cave-like. Veggie hot dogs are AMAZING. MOCHA HAZELNUT SODA IS HEAVEN.

The food and ice cream are great. The "all gender restroom" failed to have accommodations for the littlest of people: babies. No changing tables. For inclusive as they try to be this was rather exclusive.

So much art! I love to buy something made in each new place I visit. This was the perfect place to find the right pieces. I loved the old lunch counter too. If you love local artists its worth visiting.

Angela Bridges

Nice large area to walk around and look at unique gift ideas. There was anything from art to pottery two small magnets and honey. We will definitely come again when we are in the area.

Cindy Conway

Overblown in the tourist guides. There is no real soda fountain. Its just a little dinner counter with cranky staff. As for the art, you will find much better in the River Art District

Unique piece of history utilized now as an art vendor. Was nice to support local artists and small business owners. Soda fountain served me up a delicious Shirley Temple

My family only all times visit Woolworth. Thats amazing place many artists, buy gift things and buy burgers & ice cream. I never eat yet. We will again visit back here.

Love this place! Very kitschy soda shop with delicious and affordable food. I love the 2 dollar veggie dog! The art gallery is awesome as well with tons of local art!

Holly Twospoons

This is a neat place! The lunch counter was good. I had the fried bologna sandwich. After eating, we walked around and admired all the talented local artist booths.

Michael Hetzel

Really nice place to walk around and view local art. The food from the small soda shop is plenty and delicious. I plan on going back to see what changes.

Ryne Chandler

My girlfriend and I always love getting to walk around and see the art from all of the local artists. Woolworth is always a must when we visit Asheville.

Hannah Cistola

Cute place to stop in, get a soda and check out some art. Highly recommended stop if youre walking around downtown on a hot day feeling thirsty.

Judy Horton

Great collection of homemade artisan items. There is an upstairs and a downstairs so plan to stay for awhile so you can see every booth.

Danny Peck

Beautiful art, love the people there as well. Very friendly. A great place to take someone whos visiting from out of town as well. :)

Curtis McDaniel

Well worth a walk through on your visit. Local artists. Please support them! Quality however can vary greatly so choose wisely!

Rosey Willms

Really neat space full of independent artists. I enjoyed this better than the river arts district (which is a lot of pottery).

Scott Campbell

Fun, retro, good lunches and ice cream treats. Friendly staff. Lines can be long and slow at lunch or when a bus drops a group
