glow all day, afterglow all night
Welcome to after/glow, where great coffee and house made pastries brighten your mornings, a daytime menu fills the schedule, and then the cafe becomes a bar with beautifully crafted cocktails and lively beats to light up your nights. From dawn to dusk and into the night, after/glow brings the magic at The Radical Hotel as it transforms into an inclusive and eye-catching cocktail bar at night, where drinks and ambiance convey what it truly means to be RAD.

Menu as captured Aug 30, 2026 · source ↗
We hold 127 venues in Asheville, NC and could score 55 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.
v1.7.4 0.0/100 = sourcing 0.0/50 (named-farm 0 distinct, named-region 0 distinct, attribute 0 distinct, buzzword 0 distinct) + farm partners 0.0/20 (none scored) + registry 0.0/12 (none listed) + press 0.0/18 (capped at 35% of the 0.0-point evidence base).
Buzzwords only. This venue uses sourcing language ("farm-fresh", "locally sourced") but names no farms, regions, or verifiable attributes.
