Went in on a Saturday night for friends birthday celebration. All staff members including security were very polite and accommodating. I was able to make my way in to the establishment with my knee mobility scooter no problem at all. The vibes were great, with a DJ performing catchy unique beats. There is no dress code here which is nice especially when you are just venturing around the charlotte area looking for something to do. There are both open seating and reserved areas all with wonderful views of the city. After looking around for a few minutes for somewhere to sit, a staff member spotted us, kindly explained how the seating areas worked and guided us towards some open seating areas. Although a bit crowded, I had no issues making my way throughout the area with my mobility scooter. Our party of 3 was able to find a lovely open seating area at a cozy tabletop fire pit. The cocktails we ordered were beautifully crafted with fresh ingredients & candied cherries for a garnish. Perfect location if you are looking for an upscale yet casual friendly date night or somewhere to decompress with family and friends. Added to my list of places to drop in again whenever Im back in the area.
We had a great view of the baseball game from the roof! We weren’t huge baseball fans, but it was fun to see, along with the sunset skyline. Drinks were really good, they’ve got so many liquor choices. It was packed! Even for being a Tuesday night, but the bartenders were working pretty quickly, and were still polite and made good cocktails.
This is a phenomenal spot. The ambiance is phenomenal. It’s a great place to hang, eat, drink, and socialize.
Merchant and Trades revamp hits the mark for fun atmosphere and drinks. Allie hands down made the experience with service and attentiveness. Views across uptown and beyond seal the deal. Fun place to visit including drinks from Eric the bartender.
Very good rooftop bar in Charlotte with very good views. Drinks are nice and food is also delicious. Only downside is service can be a bit slow, but staff were apologetic and when our drinks and food arrived, it was very good! We returned every evening for drinks and to enjoy the view Be warned, on a Saturday evening it basically becomes a club. If chilled out is your vibe i do not recommend Saturday evenings
OMG First time here! Allie hands down was the best server and was so nice, outgoing, and went out of her way! Erick Bartender made these excellent cocktails. They made my Sunday! Thank you! Nicole
