Our warm ambiance is complimented by a versatile seating arrangement is featuring comfortable booths with tufted leather backs and a mix of chairs and wooden tables that can be reconfigured to suit the size and nature of your party.

The bar area presents a lively backdrop for events, with its well-stocked shelves and a bustling atmosphere that could serve as a perfect spot for business happy hours or casual get-togethers.

Merchant's dining room is a space where contemporary design meets comfort, creating an inviting backdrop for various social occasions. With its modern industrial vibe, the room features exposed ductwork and a high ceiling, adding an open and airy feel. Large windows (which open entirely to the street in the summer) allow natural light and air to cascade in, enhancing the warmth of the wooden tables and the rich tones of the leather banquettes. The lighting is a mix of pendant lamps with a vintage flair and soft candlelight on the tables, offering a cozy ambiance once the sun sets. This blend of elements makes the space versatile — equally suitable for a business happy hour or an intimate rehearsal dinner.
The seating is diverse, from booths lined with plush, green velvet for comfort and privacy to wooden chairs that can be easily rearranged to accommodate groups of varying sizes. For a small meeting or business gathering, the atmosphere strikes the right balance between relaxed and professional. For wedding parties and social events, the space offers a sophisticated canvas that can be personalized with minimal decor additions. All is offered cocktail-style or family-style for large parties from 15-150+ guests.
