Merchant

WHERE WE COME FROM

In 2010, we founded Merchant. Our neighborhood restaurant and craft cocktail bar was named to honor the local farmers and purveyors who use age-old methods and produce and sell top ingredients with pride.

Our classically trained chef and mixology team utilize these ingredients to prepare food and drink that is authentic, simple, hand-crafted, comforting and delicious. We have been part of the ecosystem here in Madison honoring the American Craft Movement, nothing short of a revolution in the 2010’s where our country—and Madison—where we found our culinary voice and our soul by: exploring our deep local culinary and bartending traditions; sourcing ingredients locally from local purveyors; and creating innovative and inspired dishes and cocktails. Merchant has become a stage for showcasing some of the best culinary and bartending talent in a city at the crossroads of political, academic, health and tech life, in a neighborhood steeped in history, quality, authenticity, style, and entertainment.

THE DECADE AHEAD
