The Merchant Ale House is a downtown St. Catharines brewpub built around house-brewed beer, a late kitchen, comfort food with real menu detail, and a bottle-shop side for taking the beer home.

The Kilt & Clover is a Historic Port Dalhousie Irish-Scottish pub built for Chicken Wings, Beer Battered Fish n Chips, Lock Street Reuben, Kilt Nachos, a heated covered patio, and Friday/Saturday live music. It is strongest as a casual group stop where comfort food, draft beer, and local lore carry the visit.
