The Bar of Soap

They say not to air out your dirty laundry in public, but this is the place just for that.
Clean, Efficient, Speedy Washer & Dryers, Free Wifi, Good Snacks, Local Brews on Tap
Be careful what time you come here, can get full quickly (daytime is always a lot less crowded)
Get Yo Clothes all Clean N Purdy

used to like coming here… now, there are 3 washers and 2 dryers that work and they never fix the broke ones. takes too long. work on that guys.

Excellent Italian food (I had the Chicken Parm) and good coffee too, all the workers are nice
WiFi password is laundryday

I really enjoyed the few hours i spent here. Very clean environment, easy access to washers and dryers. Friendly staff. They do not have an ATM, so bring cash. If you go to the CVS just a little up the road, they can give you «cash-​back» in rolls of quarters.
TONS of beer options! For really good prices. I didn’t get food, but everyone at the bar was eating something that looked and smelled delicious.
The washer only had to be run once and I STUFFED my clothes in there, so I was pleasantly surprised. I ran the dryer for about an hour and it dried nicely also. HUGE dryers!
Again, clean environment and friendly staff. I met a lot of cool people here too, Its definitely a younger crowd which made me feel very comfortable there.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend!

Awesome laundromat with a full craft beer bar, food, arcades, books, free wifi and comfy chairs. They play good music too. Just visiting Asheville but I feel like I would be a regular if I lived here.

— We will not be coming back here–
The laundry room was filthy… Our clothes were soaking wet after the wash was done. The room had an overpowering smell of vinegar. There was a bloody bandaid stuck to the floor. We found multiple cigarette butts in the dryer we were trying to use. Needless to say we took our laundry and rewashed all of it somewhere else. Interesting concept. Not for us.

The best place to do laundry or just hang out for a beer and pizza.
One tip… at these prices per machine… install card readers. I hate carrying around 10 lbs of quarters (-:

A unique venue that offers everything you could ever want to make laundry day better. Also I have yet to have a bad experience with the staff.

Don’t leave your detergent unattended. I left mine next to the washing machine I was using and it disappeared. I asked the guy at the bar if he had found any detergent and he opened the door in the back to reveal a big basket full of laundry detergent bottles. I asked him how mine ended up in the basket, and he told me that he walked by it «100 times,» so he took it and put it in his collection. Even though I had not left the premises since I started doing my laundry, this guy had some how passed by my detergent 100 times. The guy who works there (I don’t remember his name) was extremely rude during the exchange, and he seemed to have a ‘you dont have to come here’ kind of attitude. That’s fine. I won’t.
And by the way, there is a sign at the bar that says something like «Forgot to bring your detergent? You can buy a jar of ours for $ 5.» I honestly have no idea where they get the detergent to put in those jars… no idea at all.

cool idea, great beer selections. Went there for an open mic night and it was eh. The food however was awesome!

Terrific concept that is so great to be in Asheville, and obvious by the recent crowds that folks agree.
Don’t you hate it when you come across something as simple as a necessary laundry facility that incorporates a bar and now food as well that is really great in its own rite — and it wasn’t your idea?
When hubby and I were in town recently for our minimal annual pilgrimage we noticed the sign and lots of cars and just wanted to stop in and see what was up. Sunday night around 7 PM and there were almost no parking spots where I guess everyone who had enjoyed their weekend needed to get ready for the week and decided to do so and still have a good time.
Owner Sean McNeal has a great partner that really knows her beer… so you just can’t go wrong with any of the choices there, folks. Food options abounded, a lovely idea considering how long it can take to do a week’s worth of laundry, and they even offer reading material to go with if you like.
Could you go somewhere else and maybe get your laundry done a little bit cheaper? Maybe. But why not instead go be social and just see who you might meet and strike up a conversation with while your whites are drying?
Seems like a proverbial win/​win to me, and an idea I wish I had thought of first.

Rude workers. Paid for them to do my laundry. and got them back damp and thrown into a bag. Had to go elsewhere to redo all of them. When I called them the guy told me if I didn’t like it I don’t have to come back.
I won’t.

What a great idea! Tasty paninis, and a good selection of local brews. The drier I had took longer to dry than I’m used to, therefore was more expensive than other laundromats. But that might just have been a faulty one. I’ll revise my review once I’ve tried another machine.
