The Merchant

Popping in to leave a review for this absolutely beautiful venue. This summer I was tasked to organize and host my sister's baby shower in June. I had known a little about this spot before but I had only seen pictures on Instagram. I reached out and connected with the owner Melissa. We organized a walk through and after seeing the space in person, we all agreed it was perfect.For starters, there's plenty of free street parking nearby. We had about thirty guests and no one had a problem finding a space. Even if we did, they have arrangements with nearby businesses to offer even more free spots. Secondly, they have two entrances but the gates from the courtyard are definitely my favorite way to enter. The courtyard is stunning! There's tons of seating, a shaded area, and it's decorated very tastefully. Once you walk in you're greeted with an art deco vibe. The kitchen area includes a marble countertop, a giant sink, fridge, and coffee maker. The seating on the first floor is plentiful and varies. Our guests really love the tall booth seating. There are also two restrooms and a small quarters area around the corner for prepping and storage and whatnot. Lastly, they do offer coworking spaces upstairs and they are fabulous!I would highly recommend this space for any sort of event. Whether it be a shower, wedding, or whatever your heart desires, you'll be happy with the easy process and your guests will love the unique Gatsby-like vibes.

I had a chance to go to an event at this place and I had such a great experience that I wanted to book it for my own event. Well I contacted them via email & by phone and I have yet to receive a response. It's been a month or longer and still no response. I'm really disappointed in this because I really wanted to book this venue.
