Great food and cocktails! Fun and energetic atmosphere. Friendly, quick service. I really enjoyed the whipped feta dip appetizer and the bowl options on the menu. The avocado bowl with chicken was delicious and full of flavor.

Celebrated my 24th birthday here and it was a great time! Apps were amazing, drinks were strong, and the service was excellent. They gave not just me, but the whole table complimentary birthday shots!! We had an issue with one of the food items and they comped it no questions asked. Our server was super kind and he generously took some pictures for us! Perfect place to go for larger gatherings. The vibe was everything and if it’s nice out they keep the garage doors open!

First visit. Average food at bistro prices. The grilled cheese birria enjoyable, the sides fries chunky not thin. The Brussels sprouts were a bit oversweet as they included both honey and bits of pie crust. I would have enjoyed this dish much more without the latter and some balsamic vinegar. Generous amount. The server very friendly and divided our sandwich when we said we would split everything without being asked. When we got our bill, we noticed a 3% surcharge supposedly to smooth out prices. What? He offered to remove which we accepted. Beware of this. Upbeat setting.

Really good smash burger, a bit pricey for a burger, but very very tasty. Great beer options, friendly bartenders and staff. Cool place and would eat there again

Merriment Social: The Unforgettable Highlight of Our Wedding Weekend
Choosing Merriment Social for our rehearsal dinner was one of the best planning decisions we made. It set an incredible, celebratory, and fun tone for our entire wedding weekend and truly ended up being one of the major highlights for all of our guests.
Our initial planning partnership with Joe was absolutely wonderful. He was a phenomenal guide in planning the event and, most importantly, in choosing the perfect menu. Joe was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about creating an experience that reflected our taste. He made the process easy and exciting, and his recommendations were spot on—our guests raved about the food all weekend long!
The vibe and atmosphere at Merriment Social are unmatched. The space is unique, stylish, and immediately puts everyone in a festive mood. Beyond the gorgeous setting, the service provided by the staff was impeccable. They were professional, warm, and attentive to every detail, ensuring drinks were full and plates were cleared seamlessly. They executed the evening flawlessly, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy time with our closest friends and family.
If you are looking for a venue that provides amazing food, unique atmosphere, and a flawless planning and execution experience, Merriment Social is the only choice.

We met here for dinner during happy hour. All of us ordered drinks. They were blended quite well. I had a rum punch, which was interesting to see in slushy form, but it was pretty good. I thought it could have used a little squeeze of lime or something to make it more tangy. We ordered french fries with garlic aïoli, cheese, curds, fried brussels sprouts, and I had the crispy shrimp burrito. The french fries and cheese curds I think were my favorite. I love the french fries that have the little flaky crispy bits on it so those were pretty tasty. The brussels sprouts Were good, but they needed some balance. They could have used more salt and a little bit of acid like a drizzle of balsamic. It was just a bit one note and very sweet. But the brussels sprouts were cooked very well. The crispy shrimp burrito was disappointing to me. I had a feeling that the shrimp would not be crispy inside of the burrito because it was beer battered. I was right the shrimp got quite soggy inside of the burrito and they seemed like they might have been a bit undercooked. It was also strange to me how the burrito was served. It came cut in half cut side down on a sizzling cast-iron skillet with liquid cheese. Inside the burrito, there were very large pieces of red cabbage. The texture of the burrito was a bit offputting with the soft beans soggy shrimp And very crispy crunchy cabbage. I probably would not order this again. When I go again, I think I will order a burger. The service was great and the atmosphere was nice other than it being quite chilly inside.

UPDATE: Returned for an evening outing. It is still great, although it is much noisier with the large doors closed and a bigger evening crowd. That did not detract from it just being a fun place!
Our shared fries were perfectly done and the side of garlic aioli is a big plus! The artichoke dip bread bowl was super tasty but a bit unwieldy for sharing. We’d still get it again. As you can see from the pics, we made short work of them both!
Special shout to Grace, our server. She was friendly and efficient. Sam, the owner, was making the rounds of the tables and was very nice. He shared that he is starting a neighborhood loyalty program with some seriously nice perks.
Loved this place!! It was a warm night so we had the benefit of the open doors/walls. Staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions.
I LOVED the citrus dessert…..outstanding!

We went to the J. Henry and Sons dinner that they hosted. I’ve been to Merriment before: once for dinner and once for the burger feature/special/happy hour thing that they do. This is a solid place to go eat. The servers and staff are always friendly and personable.
The dinner that we went to was family style and had meals paired with various J. Henry and Sons bourbon. It was well thought out – I hope they continue to host things like this in the future.

I’ve been wanting to come to this restaurant for a very long time. I thoroughly enjoyed every second I was there. We made reservations for an early Saturday lunch, and it was really nice. The customer service from the hostess to our waiter (with the purple hair) were extraordinary. The meal choices were amazing. We had the chicken and waffles and the avocado salad bowl with grilled chicken. The strawberry mock tail was refreshing. The space is wide and airy. This is a gem of a spot in the Third Ward. I will be back. . .
