About Merchant & Trade
Four zones split the nineteenth floor of the Kimpton Tryon Park: an indoor bar, an open terrace, a private terrace for booked groups and a small lawn. The cocktail list leans on classics built with North Carolina spirits and house-made mixers, backed by local craft beer on tap, and a dedicated rooftop kitchen sends out bar plates such as sliders and truffle fries. The terrace looks down over Romare Bearden Park and the Knights' ballpark, which makes the sunset hour the busiest; in winter, heated igloos keep the outdoor seating in use. Doors open at 4:30pm every day and close at 11pm, or midnight on Friday and Saturday. A dress code is enforced, so smart casual is the safe choice. Google reviewers (4.3 across more than 1,400) single out attentive servers and bartenders who handle off-menu cocktail requests with ease, and the crowd mixes hotel guests with Uptown after-work groups.
