American Brasserie in Downtown Crossing/Financial District. Lunch, dinner, oyster bar, 30+draft beers At The Merchant, we make almost all our fare from scratch.
(670)

The building itself is a big space that served for more than a century as a leather goods store. We've brought in high-top tables near the windows ... a 40-foot bar on one side of the room, and more formal dining spots on the opposite side. We have a semi-private dining room in back, and another dining room downstairs. For our menu, we cure and smoke all the meat in house. Our burger is top-notch, as are other dishes like roast chicken, dayboat scallops and “rustic” desserts. The Merchant serves salads, sandwiches ($12-$20), and more for the lunch rush. And for dinner, we are a full-service brasserie (with most entrees ranging from $22-$29). The bar has 30+ beers on tap, many of them locally brewed, plus a full selection of craft cocktails to serve our patrons, especially the after-work crowd.

Golden, crispy, and worth making dinner plans for.

Herb-breaded chicken over citrus marinara, topped with baby arugula, fennel, red w**e vinaigrette, Parmigiano Reggiano, and capers. A little crunch, a little brightness, and plenty of flavor.

Join us for dinner at The Merchant in Downtown Boston.

A little mystery, a little fall magic.

Meet the Heartbinder — Eric’s autumn-inspired twist on a classic Wh***ey Sour, served up with a little extra character.

Redwood Empire Rye Wh***ey, pear, sherry, lemon, nutmeg, and Angostura bitters come together for a cocktail that’s smooth, spiced, and perfectly suited for sweater weather.

Inspired by Kingdom Hearts, crafted for fall nights at The Merchant.

Your next fall favorite is waiting.
