Take a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway ! you can get a map of where to get on and off on the website if you Google it. You can stop at some beautiful mileposts which are marked clearly, and go to some "overlooks" where you will see some spectacular views. Grandfather Mountain might suit you for a few hours as well. If you are into exquisite crafts and pottery, visit the Folk Art Center/Southern Highland Crafts Guild shop just off the parkway in Asheville.
I would not spend the $$ to go to the Biltmore Estate because your time is so short, it will take the better part of a day to wander around there. Wait until you have more days.
As for the bar scene, entertainment, see what is going on at the "Orange Peel". Ask at your hotel, they will have suggestions.
Have fun !
