Great local brewpub. The hummus was delicious, as was the burger. We loved the Drunken Monkey Oatmeal Stout and seasonal maibock.

Vegan? Want to go to a pub and eat the same food your friends eat? The Merchant serves amazing craft beer as well as many vegan bar food options such as wings, pizza, nachos, and burgers.

They have a good variety of beers and the food is very good too. We got a pulled pork sandwich and it was beyond delicious.

Would love to see them try some new and interesting brew types....maybe some Belgian Tripels, barley wines, porters...maybe some double/imperial IPAs and stouts.

The crispy perch sandwich is excellent and the extra special bitter to wash it down
