Visited on a long overdue night out with the girls when visiting my hometown.
Pretty chill vibes overall. Was a fairly quiet night when we visited as most of the students in home presumably were back at home for the holidays.
Drinks and service were decent, I would return on another rowdy evening.

Stopped in after a golf game. Good selection of beers on tap although none from the immediate area. Service was friendly and efficient.
Fish and chips were very good and a decent size portion. Friends had burgers and were pleased. There was a band coming on but we had to leave before they started. Would return.

This is my new favourite place to go when I visit Kingston.
It is nestled right next to the hotel where I always stay so its location is what drew me and my bf in.
We stopped in on giant pitcher day (Monday) to get day drunk. Ended up getting a bloomin’ onion to snack on. It was delicious.
Went back the next day on our way out of town just because of the convenience of location.
We both ordered the steak sandwich. I cannot believe how amazing it was. I ordered it with a Caesar and my bf with fries. I can’t tell you which is better, because they are both absolutely fantastic! We shared most of each other’s sides because they were both just so yummy! But back to the sandwich… Perfectly cooked steak served with Provolone cheese atop a bed of arugula, fried Portobello mushrooms and garlic aioli all on a piece of grilled pita. Holy cow it was fabulous! A definitely must-​try!
I can’t wait to go back!!!

The draught beer here is the worst in town. Had a beer here, then had the same beer at another place down the street 10 minutes later… it wasnt the same beer. Someone needs to look into the cleanliness of their beer lines or maybe how they store their kegs… something is definitely wrong.

Service was somewhat slow but when the food and drink arrived, it was good. The bacon marinade wings are excellent, but if you get the «pound and a pint» special, make sure you get the correct beer choice, as our waitress didn’t inform us and so our drafts were not included.

Very disappointed in the Fish’n’Chips. The batter was thick throughout and hard as rock at the ends (re-​fried perhaps!). Thought it was odd that the waitress asked if we wanted extra cheese on the nachos… there was hardly any cheese, most of it was melted to the paper liner. Chicken Club was good. Not likely to recommend to friends or even return.

I like the merchant because it really reminds me of some of the east coast pubs I love in Halifax.
Overall, good daily specials, great live music (often, too!), a cool patio, and okay eats. Sometimes the service could be a bit better, but overall a great option for a pint on a patio.
