"Billed as “Seattle’s oldest restaurant,” Merchant’s in Pioneer Square has some ghostly history. Back in the late 1890s, it served as a brothel and, according to legend, there’s still a “lady of the night” wandering around the premises. Since a private real estate firm recently purchased the property, now may be a good time to visit the old school dive. But given the city’s colorful past, Merchant’s isn’t the only active restaurant and bar with some supernatural vibes." - Gabe Guarente
