At only $16.99, the fish and chips are not only the cheapest in town, they are the best!! 2 big, meaty pieces of delicious fish in a wonderful light, crispy coating. And a giant pile of perfectly cooked shoestring fries. Crispy and fluffy! Best burgers, best beer. Check out this fantastic restaurant!

Incredible beer and atmosphere

They have a BBQ mushroom sandwich that happens to be vegan, and it's pretty frikken tasty. Not a first date meal unless you're an absolute savage.4 stars because the service was a left a bit to be desired.

Had dinner at The Merchant Ale House on St. Paul St. in St.Catharines this evening it was Great! All the food was Fantastic! Between the five of us, we had the Ale House Burger, the Blue Cheese Mushroom Burger and the Brisket Burger, all then were the best we have ever had . We also had a Chicken Caesar Wrap and a Club Sandwich. The Caesar Wrap my brother had was the best he has ever had, and he's had a lot!

Was visiting from LA and first time in St. Catherines. Other locals recommended this bar, but it was the first and last time I’d ever go there. The dude with the mullet serving us was extremely rude but I didn’t make too much of it as we were there to enjoy our time. Same dude was rude to other customers who were also brown …didn’t realize we brought back racism and mullets in 2024.

Tried to visit, the staff was rude since the welcoming to partner and me, kinda looking us weird, I was asked to move of table in bad way due a confusion with their washroom sign (the have tables downstairs where the washrooms are), we decided not to ruin our evening by staying there, still not sure if this was a bad day for them or they have something against minorities, LGTB community. Definitely not giving a second try.

Really bad experience, my partner and I went there to have a couple of drinks and food, our first time having high expectations about that place, but We were told by a male server (by the way He saw us like We were different) to go downstairs because the place was crowded, We got a confusion because thought downstairs were washrooms, so We decided to sit down on a table beside downstairs, a female server approached to us asking in rude manner to go downstairs, so We just decided to leave. Really disappointed for lack of customer care and probably minority discrimination
