The Thirsty Merchant

Bartender was great and very personable! I would come here for the poke nachos. They are fabulous. They have few new items that are delicious.

Good atmosphere, good food, fair prices, slow service.Met another family here to sit on the patio so kids can run around. It's a nice patio with a lot of room, seating, and TVs. All the food we ordered was actually really good. My biggest issue was that it was a Friday night during happy hour and there was only one bar tender serving drinks and taking orders. It took awhile but once the order was in, food came quick. Recommend the bang bang shrimp, chicken tenders, and buffalo califlower. Cheese curds are awesome too! Be aware the ranch has jalapeño but it isn't spicy. Was for the kids though.

Horrible service! AVOID THIS PLACE!It's a Tuesday night. Slowest night of the week at most places - I order a bunch of drinks and a bite to eat. I ask the bartender (who you order food from) if the Smash Burger (listed only as a happy hour special) is still available. He says yes and then tells me it's an even better deal on Tuesdays because for $10 it comes with fries! So I say: great I'll take it!Instead, another burger comes out. When I tell the server it is wrong, the bartender comes over and starts yelling, berating me, arguing and slinging insults saying Smash Burger is only a happy hour item. Calling me names and telling me I'm "stupid" and a "dumb ass".My buddy at the bar standing next to me, who heard everything, agreed the bartender was out of his mind. My friend at the table I was at (who works in the service industry) was appalled at how rude this dude was for no reason.So I won't ever be going back to that bar because of the way they treat their customers. And when I asked bartender for his name, he told me to screw off. So attached is the name I found on the receipt and a photo of him. All he had to do, since you messed up the order, was ask if I wanted something else. Plenty of other bars in the area that actually want a customers business.

My group prepaid $30 each person and reserved our spots and they wouldn't let me in because they overbooked walk ins. We had a group already inside and I had to come a little later because of work. They should have been clear about coming early and that our spots aren't guaranteed even if we paid. The manager specifically told security to not let anyone in even if they prepaid and made a reservation in advance. I understand if there is a fire code but this business should have accommodated to have enough space for people who prepaid with reservations. All we were told is that half the party needed to be there early. After waiting a while, and explaining all of this to upper management, they made an exception for me but others in line who had prepaid could not enter.Food was backed up as well and knowing this bar would be packed, I don't understand why they don't create a special limited Super Bowl menu with easy food and drinks to accommodate a lot of people. After an hour they were accepting orders again with warning that it'd be a long wait. All the food was okay, typical bar food. Menu was clear about what counted for happy hour which is everyday from 2-7pm The spicy watermelon margarita wasn't spicy nor did it seem like they actually used watermelon puree. The frozen monkey banana peanut butter slushie was great. Tv screens everywhere and they had a raffle. I'm sure this place is great during a normal day and they even have trivia and karaoke nights. I'll plan to come back since the happy hour and vibe of the entire bar was cool with both outdoor and indoor seating. The servers who did help me were nice as well

Came in again for the 12pm championship game eagles vs Washington figured I could get a game in before the chief fan club came in for their game at 330... I was very very wrong I walked in at 11 to find half the restaurant reserved for the fan club which not that many of them were even there... it caused the fans of the playing teams to sit at the remaining 5 tables or the bar top which obviously filled up fast and the rest outside in the freezing cold rain... their game wasn't even for 4 hours! Took away an experience for all the other fans so disappointing this place used to be a fun hub for all fans and now it seems you can only come have a good time during football if you're a chief fan! I just hope they won't be back next season so this area can get this great sports bar back for football!Cut to the 12pm game ended and one of them got in the microphone and told everyone that if they weren't gonna watch the next game to close out their tabs and leave so they could get more people in...an employee did not say this a fan from the fan club did! What a way to make other customers feel unwelcome! Insane!

I can't believe I've lived across the street for all these years and have never walked in here! This place has many TVs for all your sports games, you're in luck if you're a chiefs fan because this is where all the fans go. They have great Sunday drink specials and other daily deals. Service was fast and friendly, security was on top of everything, they've got indoor and outdoor seating and a few pool tables. I love how dark it was inside and how the seating areas were arranged. 10/10 recommend!

A laid back bar with a nice patio and games like corn hole, darts, jenga, etc. They also got TVs for live sports.Beer was good, decently priced. The only issue in my opinion is the parking, however you can park on the blocks if you don't mind walking for a few minutes.

What a disappointing adventure. We've been going to Thirsty Merchant for years as we live less than a mile away. We arrived to what the National Championship and were excited to watch one of their big screens... ordered during happy hour where the bartender recommended one of the beers we loved on happy hour list. When we signed our tab in the crazy loud environment our bill was more than twice it said it would be on the happy hour posting. So sad... after going there for the past 6+ years we won't be going back. Bummer!!!

This bar has been consistently great. Gotta love a place I can bring my dog with me to get a drink! My boy Larry and I both love Thirsty Merchant. I've had most of their drinks and I think my favorite is the Bat Country, reminds me of cherry limeade! The Diablo sliders are my go to but the ghost wings are also good. Highly suggest! Staff has always been welcoming and on it, bar is clean and has fun games to play, would highly suggest.

If you're looking for a great place to unwind, The Thirsty Merchant is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing with friends or even enjoying a solo drink. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to offer recommendations from their impressive drink menu.The selection of craft beers and expertly mixed cocktails is fantastic, and there's always something new to try. The bartenders really know their craft, and you can tell they genuinely care about your experience.The vibe is laid-back yet lively, with just the right amount of energy to make you feel like you're part of something special. Whether you're enjoying their creative cocktails or just sipping on a cold beer, The Thirsty Merchant never disappoints. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great time in a top-notch bar!
