    $30–50per person

    Why go

    Merchant and Trade is worth choosing for a first Uptown rooftop night when the goal is skyline views, polished cocktails, and group-friendly energy. At about $45 per person, it makes more sense for drinks and shareable bites than a full dinner plan, with the 19th-floor terrace and 2024 refresh doing much of the work.

    About Merchant and Trade

    Merchant and Trade is in Charlotte, with evening hours, a smart casual dress code, and a price of $45 per person. Use it as a candidate for a Charlotte evening plan.

    The first thing to know is timing. Merchant and Trade opens at 4:30 pm daily, closes at 11 pm Sunday through Thursday, and stays open until 12 am on Friday and Saturday.

    For value, the confirmed benchmark is $45 per person. If you are deciding how to structure the night, use the Charlotte restaurants guide for broader dining research and the Charlotte bars guide for other options in the city.

    Use the hours to choose the right night

    Merchant and Trade runs 4:30–11 pm Monday through Thursday and Sunday, with later Friday and Saturday hours from 4:30 pm–12 am. Those hours make it easiest to consider for an early evening stop, a post-dinner plan, or a later weekend outing.

    Plan it around the group and the confirmed dress code

    The confirmed dress code is smart casual, so plan accordingly if you are visiting with a date, friends, or a group.

    For trip planning beyond this venue, use the Charlotte hotels guide, the Charlotte experiences guide, and the Charlotte wineries guide. If the night turns into a wider itinerary, browse other Charlotte options rather than relying on comparisons here.
