Merchant & Trade
Myrna Smith
My son took me out for a drink last night and brought me to Merchant and Trade where he and his wife had a very nice time just recently. Merchant and Trade is a roof top bar with both indoor & outdoor seating & amazing views. The ambiance is wonderful but the drinks are very pricey, tastes ok & there needs to be more communication between wait staff, guests & bar tender. Morgan, the hostess was amazing & went out of her way to make sure we were well taken care of. It was a great visit but could definitely be better. I will return again mainly for the view which gets 5 stars!

When it comes to M&T, dont raise your glass, raise your standards. While the view is nice, the bouncers are exceptionally rude & condescending, and to make matters worse, they clearly treat different types of people differently. The food isnt good at all, just overly salty and greasy without much flavor going on. With so many other great locations in Charlotte offering wonderful experiences that make you feel special, why endure this place? Dont waste your time here. I dont. Id like to thank the manager for their reply to my above post. Why are you denying the discrimination that happens at your door? I can present you with dozens of people that have also experienced it! How many other posts here say the same as me? Dozens! You have almost as many 1-star ratings as 5-star ratings (unheard of on Google Reviews and speaks volumes) All of these people cant be making this up. Secondly, if you think its simply their approach, shame on you for ignoring this severe problem. You should be embarrassed and ashamed of M&Ts behavior as well as your reply to it! Id love to share my and my friends experiences in person with you alongside your CEO and head of corporate ethics, if you are brave enough to accept my offer. Do you? Replies on google arent for cheap lip service... they are for admission, action and improvement.

Nice location, great views and good atmosphere. Very pretentious however everything does not match the upscale atmosphere they are going for. Hostesses and servers wear sneakers, softsoap hand soap in restrooms, no toilet paper etc. Also if youre there with a big group. Order separately at the bar and not at the table with the group as they cannot effectively split checks. I went after work on a Monday so it wasnt that busy. May try a weekend to enjoy a bigger crowd and hopefully the music.

Great view of the park and ballfield from the roof (where the restaurant is located). You can sit either outdoor or indoor (if you don't like heights). The place is very nice for catered events, and is a nice place to hang out. The food was nice, but the view is why you'd want to go. Definitely one of the nice places to see the city from.
