On the 19th floor with panoramic views of Uptown Charlotte and the Romare Bearden Park, Merchant + Trade is a hip, modern, new rooftop lounge. The open-flow space has four zones, including the indoor bar with enormous windows, outdoor covered terrace, private VIP section, and astroturf lawn with rocking chairs and soft seating.
The cocktail menu features hand-crafted, oversized beverages made with North Carolina-produced spirits, house-made mixers, and locally sourced produce, as well as numerous bottled and on-tap beers.
You’ll want to check out this uber-cool bar, but be sure to check the dress code.
