Claire’s food is amazing! We had one of everything on the menu and enjoyed every bite. The tomato soup and buttery bread were delicious. You can tell she makes her food with lots of thought and craft. The bartender, Carly, was very welcoming and made us some tasty absinthe. We would definitely recommend! My husband and I had

This is the first time I ever went to Merry Shelly and I enjoyed everything about it. I ordered the roasted corn soup and it was the best soup I ever had( its also vegan which is a big bonus for me). As an autistic person I enjoyed the darker lighting as part of the atmosphere. I would highly recommend you check this place out. I plan to go there again when they have their vegan taco Tuesday.

Loved this bar! We went in the other night for the first time. Bartender was super friendly, drink menu wasn’t huge but had a good beer selection as well as other drinks. The decor and atmosphere was awe inspiring. Can’t wait to go back again.

I am not a bar person. Or so I thought. Turns out I just hadn't found the right bar. The Merry Shelley and everyone inside, including all staff members and customers made me and my husband INSTANTLY feel so welcomed and comfortable. We are new to town (only been here a week) and being some spooky-kids ourselves, we find it hard to find people and places we can vibe with. The Merry Shelley is definitely a place for us. Their drink menu is so unique and so fun, I was so excited to see a cocktail that seemed made for me, the Bramble Moscow Mule, my two favorite cocktails in one! My husband tried a few of their beers and liked every one of them, but favored the Delirium Red. I really can't express how much I appreciate The Merry Shelley.

Oh this was the nearest place. My daughter was so excited to take myself, her twin sister and her boyfriend for the first time to have absinth. The atmosphere was great! Parking limited but didn't care lol The place is small and was packed on a Tuesday night. Still didn't care lol we sat outside in the cold and still I didn't care. It was just being there with my family and enjoying a new drink in the best atmosphere. And the bartender and door man had great attitudes. Thank You! Get a bigger place lol and I will tell all of my friends!

COME EAT HERE ASAP!!! WOW. We came here for my birthday dinner. Tons of vegan options (GF too). Photo'd is a carrot flan. We got one of everything. Chorizo tacos, tomato soup, garlic bread cube, risotto stuffed pablano and snack platter. Great drinks too! Thank you Claire and Carly!!

Love this cute spooky place! Great vibes, good staff and great drink selection. Our bartender was super friendly and the decor was amazing. If you like spooky places for drinks and bites, this is your place.

Tristan is the money behind the bar!! He was so personable and fun to talk to, kind of like talking to someone you’ve known for a while. He gave my date and I a great experience here. The atmosphere is super cool, and the attention to detail was great. So much to look at and talk about. We loved their craft beers, and will be back!!

Not accessible, but I'm sure the staff would do everything they can do help. They were extremely patient, friendly, and helped me choose well among uniquely crafted drinks. The staff were incredible to watch, I'm glad I sat at the bar! There was fire, music, ambience, peace in the chaos of people coming in and out. I enjoyed my time there and look forward to returning often, whether alone with a book or with loved ones. I think I also saw a first date! Dress up, dress down, no stress, just goodness. Much needed goodness.

Such a great unique gem! A nice menu selection for drinks (alcohol & non-alcohol) and small plates in a beautifully decorated bar. The doorman and bartender were both genuinely kind & made this a really fun, special experience. We’re excited to come back!

Wow! This is one of my new favorite places. The atmosphere is amazing, you immediately feel comfortable. The bartenders were both amazing! Will definitely be back and recommend this to everyone.

Great place off the beaten path. Unique drinks and good snacks. Not a full blown traditional meal, but delicious none the less. Just order one of everything if you're extra hungry! Atmosphere is quiet which is nice so you have the opportunity to talk with the people you came with. We'll def be back!

Small place but so quaint with the friendliest staff I've ever met. The Absinthe is great and so fun to watch being made.

What can be said about this place? Truly charming and bewitching from the moment you walk in. Such an amazing atmosphere. Makes you feel welcomed. Bartender was awesome and attentive. This will become a new haunt for me.
