Reviews for Merchant's Cafe and Saloon in Seattle, WA
Being that this is the oldest cafe in Seattle turne out to be a bar which did not disappoint. But the the Long Island iced teas... however were $15 and the interesting part of this building was that there was a downstairs basement which actually was the 1stfloor of the original Seattle floor built. So when you are walking into the bar you are actually walking into the 2nd floor.ALSO just so you know, restrooms are located downstairs there is a steep staircase and I was told the restrooms were unisex.There is another small bar downstairs.. it's dark and small but there is a room where they had xmas lights that gave off light. The waitress wasn't too friendly but maybe she had a hangover or a bad night. Over all it was a cool place to visit, atleast thelocals think so when Seattle plays football. Read more
It is Seattle's oldest bar, allegedly, but it's not just for interested tourists: it's a proper bar. I was a tourist, but as a... Brit I like to be able to walk into a bar, sit down and order a. drink, without being told where to sit or having someone tryingto upsell you food. Read more
The oldest bar on the west coast in it's original location. Pretty cool. The bar is hand crafted and original. The light... fixtures are spectacular. The ghosts are no extra charge. The food isn't great. It's a BAR! Local beers on tap and hand craftedcocktails. I enjoyed it. Read more

My group came here yesterday and we had such a great time! The bartender was amazing. He was so funny and had great ghost... stories, we all just loved him. I would recommend this place especially if you're interested in supernatural occurrences. Thestrawberry hazy cider was beyond incredible. Read more
I brought some friends to Seattle downtown to show them around. We stumbled across this bar on our way to an underground tour.... We got Michael as our bartender and he kept us happy our whole stay very attentive and always making sure our glasses are full.If you ever need to go to stop or even stay for a while for a drink I recommend the merchant cafe. If Michael is working Irecommend stopping here 20/10. Overall made my experience of the Seattle bars totally worth it. Read more
This place was fun to come inside and look at the historic building. The employees were nice and one member of my party ordered... a drink. They have craft beers here and he was impressed with the one he got. The bathroom facilities were nice and theatmosphere was fun. I think the price was average. This was fun for us visiting tourists.
