Great place to grab a drink with friends. We stopped here before dinner.\n\nI really appreciate that the bartenders take the craft cocktail business seriously without the attitude. The bartenders are super friendly and fast. Our bartender made a perfect martini -- he even asked me if I wanted it stirred and exactly how much vermouth. The result was awesome. Merchant also keeps their martini glasses in the freezer.\n\nI would probably not eat dinner at Merchant given the noise factor. The bar got fairly crowded and was rambunctious at times. Trying to have a dinner for two or something might be kind of tough. But for drinks, or a casual dinner, Merchant delivers.
