Checked out this bar tucked away in the old cigar factory with my friend and we had a marvelous time. Cocktails were yummy, food was priced well and had great portions. Went on a Monday and there was a band jamming, not sure if music is there on other days. Will definitely be returning to try the food specials on diff days. Also, Victor the bartender was so sweet & took real good care of us!! Thank you, Victor 🫶🏾

Had a great time at Bar Mash this evening. Wanted a place that had some good food and great whiskey selection. Both bartenders were very friendly, open to give recommendations on pours and bottles. Will definitely be back.

Loved this place's vibe. Went on a Monday night for the live music (jazz), which was outstanding. Got the meatloaf sandwich. Different, great, though what looked like a blue tape label (like to identify the meatloaf in the fridge/freezer) ended up in my meal. It was easily recoverable/removable, and the customer correction by the staff was outstanding. In fact, the staff overall was outstanding. Even ended up going for a couple of drinks the next night. Highly recommend!

Plenty of parking which is key for downtown. Good vibes and plenty of room inside and outside. I didn’t drink anything tonight so I can’t touch on that. The food was good. They have a meat heavy menu, and don’t have much for those with dietary restrictions (like Gf), which is something I think they could improve on if they wanted. I got the fish tacos and fries (both good). I’d go again, more so to drink and have a small side dish, which I think is the purpose of the bar and they do it well.

The vibe is right. Cute attentive bartenders. I got food to-go last week and honestly was one of the best meals I’ve had in months. The tea is order a ice cream Sammy if they have them. Live music neighborhood block party vibe on Monday nights. Would recommend. Instagram: @holycityhost

Atmosphere was OK, but very dark. Also, there's an old timber the runs along the floor that is easy to trip on and makes sitting at some of the tables tricky, even if you are sober.

Ok folks, the only reason I’m posting this 5 star review of Bar Marsh is because I’m leaving this beautiful city after working here 3 weeks. To be honest I was afraid if I told too many people about the Monday night (4-7) prime rib special I would never get in. So, my gift to you! You gotta go to Bar Marsh and have the absolute best prime rib you’ve ever had. On top of that it’s $24.95!! Ok, you can thank me later.

Great place downtown with PARKING for a quick bite to eat and a beer. Stopped in for probably the cheapest burger downtown (during happy hour!). Order at the bar and they bring the food out to you. We chose to sit outside. There are a few tables that were kid friendly. The falafel and burger were well worth the price. I will definitely recommend and be back!

Come here!!!!! Come again! This was hands down one of the best visits we have had in recent months to almost any establishment. Thank you for making a random Wednesday adventure one to shout about. So let's start the shouting!!!! 1st, FREE PARKING in downtown Chas. This great little place has a dedicated parking lot. They share it with a few different businesses but we had no problem finding a spot. 2nd, Such a Vibe!!! The restaurant is attached to the bigger Mercantile but like a smaller, cooler spot. Inside is made for small intimate drinks and bites. We were on a date night but we also saw buddies grabbing drinks and girlfriends catching up. Everyone just fit. Huge props to the two bartenders. Both were kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. 3rd, The FOOD! These burgers were amazing. So good! And the fries......so many fries! All served hot and delicious. You can absolutely tell nothing sat in the kitchen but came directly to table. Also, while chatting with another customer, the bartender overheard us mention Euchre. Guess what?? They hold Euchre tournaments on Tuesday!! No cost, just come and play. I'm absolutely coming back for this event.

I'm a fan. This is a great little spot with pretty stand out bar food. The service is a hit or miss but gets the job done. I like the drinks a lot and the fact that they have a cocktail for everyone - not just 5 with bourbon. The environment is dive-y but location is prime and honestly parking is a breeze. Which is refreshing downtown! Def worth stopping by for a quick bite and a fun cocktail!

4 stars for the cool jazz band that was playing outside and the helpful staff on the inside... The place is spacious, clean and outside, plenty of outdoor seating. I'd even call it community-like picnic tables. I ate a small snack, the falafel was actually pretty good. And my draft beer was also, but I can't remember which one I ordered... This is why I always put notes in my photos...apparently that night I was too into the Jazz Jamz to take too much time away from intently listening. Great spot, definitely would go again.

Was craving some yummy bar food...and this place definitely hit the spot. Burger 8/10. This was DELICIOUS. Honestly flavor waa 10/10 but the burger by itself was $16...that is way too much and the burger was small. Pretzels with nacho cheese 8/10. This was really good too, the cheese didn't taste too artifical and paired really nicely with the pretzels Tater tots 9/10. Honestly, no complaints here. Crispy, packed with flavor. Will try the curly fries next time for sure! (You have to order this extra, does not come with burger) You order at the bar, and the food comes out in about 15-20 minutes so despite it being pretty crowded we didn't wait long. The environment was casual without being dingy, would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious bar food and a chill vibe

Came here for happy hour with some friends and loved the deals they had. The burger was really good especially for the fact that it was less than $10. I got a side of generously portioned fries too. The burger itself had a delicious bacon jam. One of my friends is a big fan of bourbon and apparently their selection was great and very reasonably priced too.

Great atmosphere, service, and food! One of the best happy hours I've been to in a while. $4 pretzels, $5 queso, and $7 (I think?) burgers as well as a plethora of discounted drink options. Service was really attentive and I left stuffed! I was super pleasantly surprised by the burger - I expected a standard bar burger but got a delicate brioche bun! I'll definitely be back. Vibes were really chilled out and you could actually hold a conversation - noise level was perfect for a date with a friend.

Made a visit to Bar Mash for happy hour last week. Ordered the nachos, fritters, and the house white. We thought the nachos were pretty good - flavor was solid and toppings were plentiful. Portion was a little small for a group so definitely get more than just the nachos (or get 2 nachos!). The fritters were pretty good, they were chickpea I think because they tasted like hummus balls and the sauce was great. House white was fine. Overall solid place to stop in for a Friday afternoon.

Great chill classy bar with some great happy hour specials on drinks and apps. The vibe is trendy with a bocce court and table top shuffleboard indoors. Some nice picnic table seating outside. They run weekly events/specials: for example, Monday has a great prime rib, Tuesday run club, Thursday bar trivia, etc. The bar staff is friendly and helpful for their large liquor menu options. Parking is usually a breeze with the cigar factory shops and stores. Check it out, Cheers!

My running club hosts weekly bridge run/walks that start and end at Bar Mash, and we love this venue. Many of us stick around for food and drinks afterwards, as they have outdoor seating. Plus, the service, food, and drinks have always been wonderful. Mash has craft cocktails for refined palates, but we usually stick with beer, wine, and food. During the winter months, Tuesday is ramen night, and in the summer months, Tuesday brings taco specials. Bar bites like curly fries, nachos, pretzels, and brussels sprouts are perfect for sharing with friends. The happy hour is from 4-6 and can't be beat, especially those $5 daquiris. The bar also hosts live music and trivia if that's your thing. The large parking lot is another plus, although spaces can be tight if you drive a large vehicle.

Bar mash is not ADA complaint. I entered yesterday with my well trained service dog and the bartender stated to me that pets are not allowed inside. I attempted to explain to him that my service animal is not a pet. He was uninterested in hearing what I had to say and was not open to any conversation. He again repeated that pets are not allowed inside and that I could only sit outside if I wanted to, at which time I decided to leave. He was extremely rude and this encounter was very disappointing. The other bartender heard the encounter and apparently was in agreement. I suggest this business research the Americans with Disabilities act so they understand the law and can better serve future customers with disabilities.

I've been dying to try this spot, I was impressed by the ambiance and cleanliness of the restaurant. As well as the lemon drop martini I got (one of the best I've had!), I was slightly disappointed in the food. Their smash burger did not have much flavor and I've had way better. Their Brussels were drenched in sauce and it made it a little tough to get through after the first few Brussels. My friend and I checked out the menu which is what made us want to go, and their menu had tons of things missing vs the online one. It wasn't a total bust, I will go back and try some other items and drinks!

Okay Bar Mash has transformed into the cutest Christmas bar there ever was! Decor is overdone in the best way possible, it's hard not to feel joyful the moment you walk in. Staff is always kind, patient, and helpful. Food is amazing. They have live music and food specials different nights of the week. Just go!

My husband and I went to Trivia night (Thursdays 7-9pm) and had a great time! The game host was pretty funny. The questions were clever and he played fun, upbeat music the whole time. We did horribly, but enjoyed ourselves nevertheless. I really enjoyed the curly fries, but overall, I didn't think the food was worth the price. As far as $16 burgers go in Charleston, this one does not rank in my top 5 (go to Felix for a burger instead). They have really cool drinks here and the overall vibe is casual, rustic, and fun. They have several games to play, as well as a nice outdoor seating area. Our waitress was phenomenal. She was perceptive, attentive, and friendly. She repeatedly brought us new club sodas without us even having to ask! It's the little things like that that go along way. It was a busy night, too. I thought all of the staff were managing the crowd well and were multitasking efficiently.

Yelp
For starters, the bartenders couldn't be better. They handled a busy crowd in the most efficient and kindest way I've seen. Plus the drinks were great and the glowing ice cubes were super cool. However the food is what takes the cake...I got the 'Reindeer Chili' and it was amazing. It was like home cooked chili w the perfect amount of sour cream and toppings...plus the rice it laid on made the dish perfect. It would be an amazing dip too I bet ...The ambiance was totally on par for Christmas too

We're always surprised that this place is empty when we go. We love the drinks, the food, the nightly specials (10$ burger and beer?!), the vibe, the PARKING! Pretty much everything about it, outside of cocktails being on the pricey side but probably on par for this type of place downtown.

Bar Mash is a great place for a quick recovery beer after a bridge run. Staff is attentive and cordial. I've had some great bar bites here. They do have ramen once a week; definitely recommended.

We have been visiting bar Mash for trivia on Thursday nights regularly for the last few months. There are usually not a lot of teams, so it is not hard to place in the top 3 and get some cash. I usually go for the bottle beer specials which are $3 a piece and although they rotate, they are usually a great small brewery which is a chance to try something new. For food, you cannot go wrong with the Nachos, they are really delicious and come with Chorizo. The one Kosher member of our group wishes they had other meat options, but he gets contented with other food in the menu. The Brussels sprouts are also highly recommended and the portion is large enough to share with a group. Worth a visit!

This is also our spot for drinks if you can't get a wristband and want to drink. Jimmy made drinks for me and two of my friends who look older but are 19. Don't give us a hard time we are almost there lol. He gave his number to my friend who thinks he is hot so extra star for that!

Mash is a favorite of mine. They host a bocce league that I participate in so I find myself there quite often. Staff is great and always on top of bar and table orders. They offer a great selection of local and regional craft brews. The burgers and curly fries are first rate! They have a great indoor bocce court and a tabletop shuffleboard. Great for happy hour or a competitive night with friends.

This is an ideal meetup location for some drinks and food among friends. It is located right beside Mercantile at the old cigar factory. There is also a large parking lot which reduces the headache of going downtown significantly. I've had the charcuterie board here as well as the Philly cheesecake sliders and pepperoni flatbread. The charcuterie board was especially memorable and is perfect to share between two people. I usually end up drinking a beer or two here and I don't go for their specialty bourbon drinks but from what I've heard they are very good. The atmosphere inside is always very relaxed and the dark wood walls and floor give a warm and cozy feel. I always have a nice time here in terms of service as well. It's really a great alternative to the bars in more crowded areas of downtown. Mash will definitely continue to be a spot I frequent.

Listen.. how many places can you go and get a QUALITY bacon cheeseburger a mound of curly fries and a beer for $10... EXACTLY... after work one night I was not in the mood to cook at all and decided to browse Yelp! For happy hour eats... Mash was a hit... I was expecting a "less than spectacular" burger but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a beautiful space I love the dark rich wood and inviting bar. The bartender was nice and inviting. I ordered the burger deal and was excited when it was placed in front of me. Big burger, perfectly cooked and dressed. I didn't really look at anything else on the menu but I plan to be back!

Bar Mash is my go to spot when I want a chill environment with an elevated cocktail list. Say it's raining and you want to stay in, but you really need to get out of the house, you compromise with this perfect bar that's full of Christmas lights hanging from the ceiling, bar games tucked throughout the tables, one Tv to appease whoever needs sports in their life, and a baller cocktail list. The cocktails change seasonally but I have never had a disappointing sip. Just had the "rosemary's baby" (Jan2020) and I highly recommend you doing the same. As for food, you can't go wrong. We had the (massive) order of chorizo nachos which made me question why pepitas aren't on all nacho orders, the burger with curly fries, and the mahi tacos. All delish!

Let's do the Mash. The Monster Mash. Mercantile and Mash are like siblings where Mercantile is well kept and an early riser serving foods and pastries while Mash is the late nighter that lives on whiskey, live music and games. I prefer brother Mash's lifestyle, at least on the weekends. I like the Mash is off the beaten path and usually not too busy that you can have a conversation with your friends and sip on a cocktail. There are times when the noise level will crank up a notch especially when a wedding party from upstairs arrives or the band playing uses drums. I recommend trying one of the specialty cocktails as they are a more reasonable price point for a unique drink. Some of the specialties I have had were a frozen irish coffee, a bourbon drink with grapefruit, and grasshopper. For a fancy whiskey bar, this place also serves up jello shots usually made with whiskey. They can be a hit or miss but for the price point, I can't complain. My favorite part about this place is the new shuffleboard table in the center of the bar. In college, I was an avid fan of shuffleboard at a local bar but that was on a beer soaked broken down college table. This thing is magnificent. There's bocce ball in the back if that is your style as well as a few arcade games near the entrance. The atmosphere is on point for a whiskey bar with the rustic look and the bathrooms are super clean and nice. Try out the Mash!

Always have a great time at this place! The staff are super cordial and professional and the drinks are tasty. Believe it or not the food is also very very good and they have nightly specials. Some nights they have trivia, not really my thing but that draws a crowd and other nights they have some live music. Open later so no need to rush! Oh and they have Jell-O shots, woo hoo:-)

After the Mercantile section closed, we moved over to Mash Bar. We grabbed a booth and it took a few minutes to get a waitress. I wasn't bothered though because they were pretty busy. It was a cool atmosphere; it has a bocce ball and another type of game. There was live music. Specifically, it was bluegrass night. I ordered a Mash Burger and it came out very quickly. It was also quite tasty. The French fries were also cooked perfectly. I also really liked the waitress; she was sweet and attentive. We always had full drinks. I will definitely be back here for dinner and drinks.

Can't believe it took me four years to make it to this place. Tucked back into the corner of the cigar factory area, this place has got serious ambience and specials pretty much every night. I've been now for the taco Tuesday (two of em, delicious with curly fries and a High Life for just $10) and Prime Rib Monday ($21 for a serious ass prime rib, baked potato, and onion rings). Food specials aside, the rest of their food and drink menu are really interesting and reasonably priced. I respect anywhere that offers food deals not just on a bland ass burger, but quality stuff. Super unique cocktails featuring everything from Gin to Fernet, I'll shell out $12 for something that well-though-out. Both times I went, the crowd was pretty sparse...but both were early week and not weekend. Bar Mash needs attention and your business. They've got incredible food and drinks and music. I can't imagine a bad time here, and hate I haven't been coming for the whole time I've lived here. Check em out.

Mash and I are becoming fast friends. It's a beautiful bourbon bar tucked inside the historic cigar factory saddled up to it's Mercantile counterpart. The feel of an upper-king-hot-spot without the lines, 22 year olds, or terrible parking... in fact they have plenty of parking in the evening cause the lot outside is basically empty. The bourbon and whiskey list is awe-inspiring and Sam makes a stunning Old Fashioned every time. The drink prices range from kind-of-high to money-means-nothing-to-me. If you're not interested in dropping last months electric bill on a few drinks, the bartenders will be happy to recommend the best brown-water options that won't break the bank. Or go for a Coors Banquet which is always on draught. Although they're making classy cocktails, the shuffleboard, indoor bocce, and what seems to be my early 2000's playlist constantly on repeat, everyone's noses are on ground level instead of up in the air where you might expect them. Pro Tip: Take a first date to Mercantile. If it sucks, excuse yourself to the restroom and sneak into Mash for a night cap. They share bathrooms in the connected hallway. Then go back to your Tinderella or exit through Mash and call an Uber.

We came here for a continued birthday and retirement celebration for a friend. This was my first time here so I wasn't sure what to expect. There was plenty of on-site parking, but the entrance was a bit confusing. There are two businesses at this location, but the Mercantile side was closed. There appeared to be a private party going on upstairs too. It sounded like they were going to come through the ceiling at times. On this night there was a Jaeger competition going on so several of us tried and enjoyed one of their concoctions. They have an extensive list of bourbons, ryes, and whiskeys, but the cocktail list was a little small and pricey. We sampled several food items. My personal favorite was the pork rinds. This spot features an indoor bocce court, shuffle board, and other games. The space is a little small so if everyone was playing, it could get too crowded quickly. They were not providing table service but there were signs on each table notifying us to go to the bar to order. Service was good, but a little slow as there were really only two bartenders. In all fairness, alot of attention was being diverted to the Jaeger comp, which I also found interesting.

They have Charleston's best bourbon selection- and their bartenders are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to anything concerning brown liquor. I began birthday celebrations here before heading elsewhere and was really impressed with the whole experience from start to finish. Sleek interior, indoor bocce court, giant list of bourbons (including lots of hard-to-find bottles), nice looking menu- what's not to like?

Mash is--hands down--my favorite bar in Charleston. It's not even a competition. I love the dark and laid-back atmosphere and the option to play indoor bocce or shuffleboard (which is IMO the worst bar game ever invented, but I forgive them for this oversight). The drinks are expertly crafted, and I've never had a bad cocktail. My favorite time to visit is when Teddy or Elliott are working behind the bar, as their passion for liquor really shows through in every drink they make. Strike up a conversation with them and you're likely to learn the entire history of a brand of whiskey you've never even heard of before (which is now your favorite thing in the whole world). They're the kinds of bartenders who take the time to chat with everyone so you start to feel like this is your bar; you belong here. The food is also fantastic! Whether you're ordering off of the seasonally-inspired menu or visiting one of the rotating food trucks they have on the weekends, you're in for something delicious (the pretzel bites, the fried Brussels, and the fried oysters and boudin are my favorites). They also have live music a few times a week and Coors banquet on draft if you're into that sort of thing.

We decided it was too early to head home and thought we'd try out the Cigar Factory for a refreshment and appetizer. Well as it turned out we are at Mash in the Cigar Factory building. A cool bar discovery where Kyle a magician of Manhattans served up exceptional cocktails and historical info along with the daily special low down. I will be returning on Monday to try out the Prime-rib special, starting @ 4:pm. Tacos & Tequila on Tuesdays 4-10pm. I give a 5 rating to the music vibe playing here. Motivation to return often! Another huge plus is the shuffle board game!

This place was really nice to go watch football! We just wanted a few drinks and to finish watching the game so we didn't eat but bartenders were knowledgeable and attentive so no complaints. Lots of TV too. Only doing 4 stars because we didn't eat so I can't rate the food, but overall cute place.

Why 5 stars? Because I had the best cocktail of my life here. --- --- --- While there were many amazing stops on my first visit to Charleston, this was one of my favorites. And there are two huge reasons for this: 1) I'm normally much more of a beer than cocktail drinker. I went with my standard for round one. But for round two, I was feelin' froggy, and oh how it paid off. I never wrote down the name of the drink, but if the drink menu hasn't changed since mid-May, it would have been the Captain Kidd Punch. It had egg in it, which made it nice frothy, and it was tasted like clouds from heaven. I have dreamed and yearned for this cocktail every time I've ordered one elsewhere, but nothing stacks up. 2) They have table shuffleboard, and it entertained me thoroughly. I'm not normally a "go sit at a bar and look at each other" type. I like drinking and doing other things - like games. This was the perfect bar game, while enjoying my lovely, egg-filled cocktail. Thank you Mash, you've shown me true love.

To be completely honest, I stopped in on my way home after a Yelp event to use the restroom (their restrooms are really nice) but it was completely empty on a random night so I stayed and chatted with the bartender and server. I got a hamburger that was out of this world and had a couple of drinks. It was very comfortable and welcoming and I plan on coming back for more soon.

This is the perfect bar. Laid back, great music, great cocktails and delicious comfort foods. An upscale dive. Class without the attitude. Clean but rustic. The bartenders are great- Teddy and Elliot showed us a great time. Very happy I found this place. Can't wait to come back. This will be a regular spot for me for sure

A dark vibe, an old school juke box, some shuffle board and bocce available to play, and really fantastic cocktails! The bartenders here are fantastic - super nice and friendly, they remember faces, and they have great cocktail suggestions and cocktail making skills. Also, the food that we tried (tater tots + corned beef hash and the cauliflower) were relish!! Also - plenty of parking! I really recommend!

Yes. Yes. Yes. As a bourbon lover, I was very excited to try Mash because of their extensive selection. All my expectations were met - they had a ton to choose from and went above and beyond to satisfy my request for recommendations. I stuck with one ounce pours so I could try a couple. I also have to say: They created the best Old Fashioned I think I've ever tasted. Right now they have their very own Four Roses Single Barrel that they use in their "Mash Old Fashioned" and it's worth every penny. $15 for a cocktail is steep, I know. BUT it is *really* good. And the bourbon is limited. On that note, get there soon because they are down to the last bottles of this special bourbon. I am holding off on a full five star review because we didn't order food. Just went for drinks. I think we would have stayed for dinner if something on the menu jumped out and enticed us, but it didn't. The ladies next to us shared some Brussels sprouts and a charcuterie plate, both looked good. And the gentleman to my right had the Mash Burger which also looked good and was a huge portion. But, still, we didn't eat. Next time I will check out the food. Final items to note about Bar Mash ... They have an indoor bocce court, shuffleboard and an arcade machine (complementary! No need to bring quarters!) all packed into their space.

Mash is on pace to become one of my favorite Charleston bars. Having already visited Mercantile several times, I was overdue to explore its boozy counterpart. The space itself is warm and pub-like, with exposed brick and curtains along the back wall. I just missed Happy Hour, which ended at 6PM but had good deals, on par with prices across town, but with better drinks and, in particular, bourbon pours. Mash's cocktail menu is creative and extensive, but their real collection is in dozens of bottles of bourbon and whiskey. I ended up with a delicious Staff Selected Four Roses single barrel Old Fashioned, with grapefruit bitters. With drinks in hand my fiancee and I sat down with one of Mash's board games, listened to Red Cedar Review, a local Bluegrass band, and ended up playing bocce, and table shuffleboard. For a relatively small space, Mash packs a big punch! When they don't have live music scheduled, Mash's jukebox lets you pick the jams. The only deviation from a glowing review is the price, at about $25 for two cocktails. The craft and ingredients put into making them is certainly worth the expense, but don't hesitate to ask a mixologist for a great beer recommendation to save a few bucks. I look forward to returning and diving into their two-page bourbon list.

When enterig Mash, you enter an older era. You might be able to compare it to Cocktail Club since it's the management. Amazing staff... Extended drinks list AND Bocce Ball ((not sure on the spelling) More to come!

Great place to grab drinks and a light bite for happy hour. Their charcuterie board is the usual that I order. Their mustard and jam on the board is amazing. They also have bocce and shuffleboard here, which sets them apart from the other bars downtown. It also makes for a fun time. Service is friendly and the ambiance is cool and warm. I am a fan of Mercantile, so I'll have to come back for actual dinner sometime!

Friday evening, 6ish, party of two. This is our second trip to Mash and it's growing on me. I like the swanky/relaxed decor. I love that it's at the Cigar Factory. I love that there is parking. Lots and lots of parking. I love that the crowd isn't the usual young downtown Charleston snob scene. Always an interesting drink menu, with an ever-changing special board. I went for the Passion Fruit Mei Tai on the special board = $8. Hubby went for the Revelry LA VIE FANTINE Grissette 4.73% ABV, - crisp, refreshing beer, a great option for the summer heat. Bar staff is helpful, the place is clean. Only complaint, you do pay downtown Chucktown drink prices. The specials board can help you save a couple bucks. Watched a group of guys play table shuffleboard and had a nice happy hour together. Will return for sure!

Solid selection of bourbons. Pretzel sticks are worth looking into. Friendly staff. Worth a visit if you're with friends.

Located in the old Cigar Factory, Bar Mash is a a very cool place. The building was originally built as a cotton mill in 1882 and later converted to its namesake use as a cigar factory starting in 1903. The bar is rather dimly lit inside but this lends an interesting ambiance to the place. The bartenders I've had are really good. My favorite drink there is the St. Cecilia Society Punch (brandy 2 ways, Smith & Cross, green tea, peach, pineapple, bubbles). There's actually a sister restaurant called Mercantile that is accessible via the hallway where the restrooms are located or from one of two doors near the corner of the building. I recommend checking out both Mash and Mercantile.

This is ok. Atmosphere is fine. A corn hole lane and a shuffleboard table. Bar food, chips and queso. Dip was good, chips were not fresh. The beef barbacoa taco was fine, nothing special. Fries are frozen and cooked. Burger was fine. Nothing special!

Nice place in a beautiful setting. We came here before a show nearby. The food was good and the staff was awesome. I realize it's downtown but $12 for a glass of wine is a little ridiculous. Other than that it was not bad.

This place is amazing!! I went with 3 other girls for happy hour and got great drinks and wonderful food. We ended up splitting the steak night special which was perfect for the 4 of us. The place is has a great chill vibe to it and friendly servers. I have also been there late at night it is great!
