Merchant's Cafe and Saloon

Expensive! One beer was $12.24 and they MANDATED a tip! Food is edible. Go in take selfie leave. Bartender was rude. Awful experience. On average a pint is $6 in Seattle here $12 for 12oz. RIDICULOUS. New owners immediately.

Cool historic place in downtown. Amazing atmosphere. Great for beers and drinks. Not great for food options but it was good. Wings were really good.

Darcy is such an amazing airbnb host and her bartenders are phenomenal. Thank you for another great stay! Michael was the best bartender. Very attentive and let us check out the closed haunted saloon. Very cool experience.

Food was disappointing, to say the least. One of the worst experiences we've ever had at a pub. Chicken sandwich was basically a frozen patty they took 30 minutes to reheat. You could get better food at any fast food place. Pictures posted are not what you will get. Maybe they are under new management?

Great place to hit for Pre-Funk and Post-Funk for any Seahawks game or Mariners or before you go on your cruise 🛳 trip to Alaska. Great location. Good customer service skillset from the staff and its all about love in this world 🌎 at the Merchants Cafe 🗽🗽🗽🌬🌱🥂🍾💜

Seattle Underground tour told us this bar had a cool underground section and our wristbands were good for 10% off. When we popped in the music was blaring and some lady immediately started berating us about our masks, the underground section Not being open, and being "damn tourists". Not sure if she worked there but she was sharing a table with the bartender. We walked out without looking at any menus. Not friendly or welcoming at all. You would think a spot catering to "tourists" would want their money, but no way would I come back if this is how they treat guests.

We originally went here because of the history of the place. But we had a terrible experience with the bartender. As we are not from the area, we had a question, but he seemed annoyed by it. His attitude made us uncomfortable, and we ended up leaving.

I happened to stumble upon this bar was when I was desperately trying to find a bar that showed Champions League final and wasn't spilling with crowds. Huge screen right in the middle and other screens in the periphery if you're interested in watching soccer (European games or MLS). Nice decor that's true to its pub/saloon vibes. Nice bartenders. Beer selections were okay but overall it was a pleasant experience.

We like Merchants. Yes we do. We like Merchants, how bout you? Michael Michael bo bikle banana fanna fo fikle me mi mo Michael…. Miiiiiiichael!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty home cooked food. We are excited to come back again.
