I was in just yesterday evening. I had their Mac and Cheese and a Curry Cauliflower soup. Was feeling great that day and wanted to enjoy a personal dinner out to celebrate it. I enjoyed my drinks (not a beer sort, but love a good rum and coke). My server was a heavier set gentleman with a heart of gold. He was extremely polite and attentive. Very respectful and made sure I had plenty of water with my drinks. I even made a note for him to tell the kitchen staff my meal was delicious. Because it was. Best Mac and cheese I've ever had. Sorry mom, ha ha. This isn't my first visit. And it won't be my last. This place is amazing. It always seems busy, and this is exactly why. Brewed on site beer. Good drinks. Great food. Great staff. Businesses like yours are what will help build St. Catharines downtown back to the legend status it once had.
The Merch is easily the best / my favourite restaurant in St. Catharines, with amazing house-brewed beer, awesome food, and the best staff in the city.
Great beer. ( Their Blueberry Beer is sooooo good!) Great food. (Crispy Perch sandwich is to die for) Great service. I have no criticism for this establishment. :)
Had a great time at The Merchant Ale House! Awesome table right up front gave us a great view of downtown. Everyone ordered something different, and we all loved our food. Our server was super friendly as well, so we all felt really comfortable. Will definitely be back! :)
Some of the best beer around!
Great food and great staff.
Wish i didnt live 2 hours away!
The Merchant Ale House is by far one of the best places in St. Catharines for a great atmosphere, amazing food and great service!! Love this place!!
The food, staff, and drinks are amazing! We had the best and huge onion rings, the Reuben, and Mac & Cheese. Everything is made fresh and we brought home leftovers. A must see!!
Lots of beer to choose from and they are all great tasting , great finger food and awesome atmosphere
This is definitely a place to stop at on your way through St Catharines. The atmosphere is amazing not to mention the fabulous selection of brews. The food is eclectic and delicious. The best sweet potato fries I have ever had. Their pulled pork egg rolls were incredible. We will be back!
Thanks for not judging me when I walked in and asked for a pint of Bud with my friend lol. Good service, great company and delicious food and original brews.
This place was awesome! A cool old pub feel, with amazing food. You must try the Ruben, v it is excellent!!! I would go back again.
Best place to go for drinks! Always new drinks to try and their Strawberry Blonde is to die for!! Their new recipe is now a 20/10 whereas their old recipe was a 15/10 haha Either way, still blown out of the rating scale ;) Yum!
Enjoyed dinner there both Friday and Saturday this weekend. Great food, friendly, fast service and great beer. Definitely our go-to place when we are in town!
Love coming here. Always great food. A great reason to drive around in circles looking for parking.
Tried a flight of their beer and everything was great. The Ruben was amazing!! Definitely stopping by next time I’m in town.
We had a lovely time. Second visit. We enjoyed a couple of Strawberry Radlers and a Monkey Stout. Food was amazing as usual. Mac & cheese and Perogies. Service was excellent especially since the place was hopping. Try out The Merchant Ale House...you won't be disappointed!
Great beer, good company and love Ali. She's the best.what a laugh�
Friendly staff, eclectic menu, good beer. What more could you want?
Fantastic craft beer and the food was great. I'll definitely be returning.
Three of us went for Lunch, food was amazing, and so is the Beer!
Staff were awesome as well!
Don’t want to tell anyone about this place, already too hard getting a table. My favourite place.

Great beers and good food. Got a chance to chat with John, 1 of the brewers, and he was so informative!
Love the food here...so fresh and homemade. Service is always amazing 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Most consistently awesome food and beer (and music) in Niagara. There's a lot of love and care put into their stuff, no frills attached
Delicious food and great atmosphere! We would come back again for more vega choices.
