Get told I don't care if you have a tab open I need to see your ID again otherwise I will not serve you. All in less than 20 minutes. All while there were 10-15 people there and the bar was empty.

We were a little disappointed in the wait because there were some empty tables around, which showed that Merchant was not extremely slammed, but we wanted to give benefit of the doubt. Fried Cheese Curds tasted alright. We probably got the unlucky batch though, because halfway through eating them, we had dime-sized cheese curds. It certainly didn't feel like we got a full appetizer size of cheese curds because of this. I think typically the smaller cheese curds are at the end of the dish, but here it felt like we had it for 50% of the dish. The Merchant Burger was alright, but nothing to wow my senses. The black pepper aioli was delicious though, but it felt like that was what was saving the burger. Not pictured was the Floral G&T drink, which tasted delicious. Overall: giving this place 3 stars because it wasn't amazing, but it was OK. The interior is beautiful though, but food and service were below our expectations.

The owners did a fantastic job renovating the space but keeping the charm. There is a self serve wine dispenser as well as a full bar. Light snacks are Available including cheese boards, truffles and popcorn, and they have a fabulous back patio! Occasional live music and other fun events are planned. I have to say one of my favorites is that they open early on the first day of school and the last day of school for mimosas and bloody Mary's. There is parking in the back and two gender neutral bathrooms. Drinks can be pricy... but their lemon drop is worth it!

I'd definitely come back to try some wines and explore the menu again.

We ordered some food, including the beautiful and delicious charcuterie board and a couple flatbreads. I really like that there's a decent food menu including everything from $2 snacks to fuller meal options and desserts. Then we were onto our beverage choices. A couple of my friends opted for whiskey flights that they had been looking forward to sipping. And then a couple of us did the wine option. I didn't understand how it worked at first but it is very simple -- you get a little card to swipe at the wine machines and then you can choose whichever wine you want. You can opt for a small tasting pour or more of a traditional pour. At the end of the night you return your wine card and pay for whatever you had. I have heard of this type of wine bar before but hadn't tried it yet. It's brilliant! Everyone enjoyed their drinks and it was fun to try some new wines and whiskeys. I would definitely come back to enjoy the tots and some different wines next time!

Next, I tried a Washington Riesling with delicate honeysuckle and white flower aromas -- just beautiful. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to relax after a busy day. As someone who loves sweet wines, this place hit the mark. Great service, great wine selection, and a cozy vibe. I'll definitely be back!

My girlfriends and I stopped in for some drinks on a Saturday late afternoon, and sat at the bar so we could see all the different bottles. I've been on a tequila kick lately and wanted to find something new I could taste before randomly buying a bottle. The bartender pulled a few for me to pick from and was knowledgeable about each of the brands. I ended up finding two new tequilas I really loved. There's plenty of seating inside at the wine barrel tables, or their long bar. They also have an outside patio area in back if you want fresh air. The place is very clean and I like how it's decorated with unique Wisconsin items. They don't have a food menu but you can order a Lotsa Mozza pizza, or can carry in from anywhere.

I'm generally hesitant to order swordfish in the Midwest, if even at all as if it's not properly prepared or fresh it can be off-putting. This was perfectly cooked, moist and tender. The bold flavors accompanying the fish were not at all overpowering, rather very much enhancing and complimentary. My understanding is they have a rotating menu and I look forward to my next visit.
