News Summary
After 44 years at its current location on 11 Grove Street, Scandals Nightclub in Asheville is planning to move to a new home.

The future of Asheville’s nightlife may be shaped by this change as more clubs adapt to current market needs.
Scandals Nightclub in Asheville on the Move After 44 Amazing Years
Asheville is buzzing with the news that after a fantastic run of 44 years at their current location on 11 Grove Street, Scandals Nightclub is now on the lookout for a new home. The club has been a cornerstone of the nightlife scene in Asheville, known for its lively atmosphere, fabulous drag shows, and the best in house music, but change is in the air.
Time for a Change
The decision to find a new location comes after the realization that the current space is simply too large given what the club needs today. The venue, part of the Grove House Entertainment Complex, stretches out over an impressive 22,000 square feet and includes four stories that have seen countless vibrant nights filled with dancing, laughter, and unforgettable memories. But with a need to scale down, Scandals has decided to vacate the premises right after the first weekend of March.
Shifting Landscape
What’s even more interesting is that the landlord of the property is looking for a single tenant to occupy the entire building, which has influenced Scandals’ decision to relocate. The club’s spokesperson made it clear that the search for a new venue is actively underway. They’re hopeful for a “grand return” that will keep the spirit of Scandals alive, just in a space that better meets their needs.
