Merchant's Cafe and Saloon, Seattle's oldest standing restaurant, boasts a rich history and a unique atmosphere. The establishment has previously operated as a liquor store, cafe, hotel, and saloon, offering a glimpse into the city's past. The restaurant has been featured on television shows due to its ghostly reputation, adding to its allure.
The food and service at Merchant's Cafe and Saloon have been described as decent, with a selection of drinks that are highly recommended, including the margarita and "sexual chocolate" shot. The basement of the establishment provides a classic, old-time lounge atmosphere, perfect for those seeking a haunted encounter.
Customers praise the friendly bartender, who shares the history of the place, and the overall reasonable prices. The underground bathroom and the potential for hosting events in the basement area are also noted as highlights. While the restaurant closes early on Fridays, it remains a popular destination for its historical charm and welcoming atmosphere.
