Looking for the fanciest most mixologist made drink in Madison? Then the Merchant is your spot. It is really fun to watch them concoct these drinks with all the crazy ingredients (fruits, herbs, tinctures) floating about.
The menu, however, is an eye-sore. It is pert near impossible to read and way to hipster in its description. I really wish they would change it.
For dinner we were in a large party and between the group had just about everything. The cheese board it what stands out in my mind. I don't want to complain about the food to much because we were a large group but the medium-rare burger came out well done and my buddy said his steak wasn't cooked right either.
I have been here for some wonderful music and I will be again some day.
