Merchants Restaurant

Downtown Nashville’s Local Dining Choice for More Than 30 Years

01/21/2023

We experienced a fire in the early morning hours on January 21, 2023. The good news is that everyone is safe and nobody was hurt, but it will take some time to clean things up. Thank you to our Nashville Fire Department and First Responders who took quick action to save our historic building.

We are assessing the damage, and will keep you updated on reopening plans.
