My husband and I stumbled upon the entrance to Merchant & Trade last night while walking around Uptown.
When you walk in, you are immediately escorted to an elevator that is a straight ride to the top. When we got up there, we went to the bar for a drink. The inside space is super open with glass windows all around. My husband and I both settled on the M&T Old Fashion. Very delish and well made! The drink menu had a handful of fun cocktails, beer, and wine.
I noticed that alot of tables outside had a reserved sign. Since we were only going to be there for 20 minutes as we had tickets for a show, I asked the hostess if we could sit at one. She quickly and sweetly showed me which table we could grab for a bit.
Impressive is the first word that comes to mind when walking outside. Loads of beautiful couches, tables, chairs, and fire pits overlooking a great view of Uptown!!! The ambiance was relaxing but with a classy twist.
We didnt try any food or look at the food menu so I cannot comment on that. Next time we go, we will grab a small bite with our drinks and I'll update the review.
Nice job M&T and welcome to Uptown!
