About Ben's Tune Up
From Ben's Tune Up's own website and its Google listing, read October 6, 2026.
Ben's Tune Up is a sake brewery with a beer garden and an Asian fusion kitchen. It sits in a converted auto shop on Asheville's South Slope. Its website says almost all sake sold in America is pasteurized and shipped from Japan, and that its own is brewed on site and served fresh.
Traditional styles include Nigori, which is unfiltered. There are also fruit-infused sakes, and the site names Lemon Ginger and Pineapple Jalapeño as best sellers. Rotating beers are on the menu too.
The kitchen lists skewers, empanadas and vegan rice bowls, plus a weekend brunch and a kids menu. The website invites you to bring friends, family and dogs.
Karaoke, bingo, DJs and Reggae Sundays fill the week. New owners bought the old auto body shop in 2013.
