I've been here a few times and it's a solid restaurant to visit. They have some interesting menu items, like a Kimchi mac and cheese, and other more traditional choices like wings. The decor is pretty interesting with walls lined with murals, and the atmosphere is pretty chill when I've gone. Prices are reasonably mid range for downtown eating.
Very good wings and friendly staff. Subtracted stars because they were out of a lot of beers listed on their menu. Also seems strange to have customers pick up orders at the window when none of your staff is busy. The place was fairly empty during Friday happy hour.
We went there few weeks after it opened. The chicken wings were nice and crispy without the breading. The burger was pretty good as well. They had N64 Mario Kart at the bottom half of the restaurant. I thought the music was too loud at the time for a place with like 15 customers. The placed looked clean, nice art on the walls. Not sure if the "tip jar" was necessary at the register. It's always confusing at places like this. My rule for tipping is If i have to go up and place my own order in, and pick up the food, then no tipping is required. I did tip for the drinks though.
The food here is great, there's plenty of seating, and the bar has good selections. The cocktails on tap are a good idea too. Great spot to start or end a night.
I've been coming to Merge since it opened and I plan to continue to come back because of how awesome it is. The food is good and I like how the menu changes frequently and there is always new items on it. The drink selection is fun and not the average selection of drafts. I can't say enough good things about it!
