Mercantile 1888 — Restaurant in Collingswood

We stumbled across Mercantile 1888 while doing some Christmas shopping in Collingswood, and what an absolute delight! The gorgeous local goods, whimsical decor, and cheerful employees all contributed to a wonderful visit. However, the pièce de résistance was the zero proof bar in the back. We don’t drink alcohol, but we enjoy mixology and exploring various alternatives. We’ve always wished for a bar that serves non-alcoholic beverages. Our drinks did not disappoint. Beautifully crafted and presented in such a fun ambiance with excellent energy from the staff. It was the highlight of our shopping trip. Whether you are sober, sober-curious, or a lover of all things alcohol, the whimsy and joy of this little spot is sure to please anyone. We live an hour away, but we...

If you haven’t been to Mercantile 1888, a zero proof bar, in Collingswood, you are definitely missing out!!! We stumbled upon this place a little over a year ago!!! Now that we have found this gem, we go there every weekend, before going to one of the many restaurants located on Haddon Ave. Every drink is mouth watering!! The bartenders are personable, explain everything on the menu, give recommendations, and once you become a “regular” they know your name!!! Think the TV show Cheers, “where everybody knows your name!!!” Not only do they serve mocktails, nonalcoholic beers and wine, they sell cute jewelery, clothing, candles, and many other fun things!! My advice to you…GO TO MERCANTILE 1888 where you can become the Norm, Cliff and Frazier...

I seriously can’t say enough good things about this place. I just moved back to the area and this was the most pleasant surprise to find, especially as a somewhat newly sober person. The mocktails are carefully thought out, delicious, and creative. They have tons of spirit alternatives, N/A beers, sparkling n/a wines, CBD mocktails, etc that you can take with you. The clothing and other goods they sell are beautifully made. AND, the staff is so great — they’re still just as friendly as they were when I first came in (despite the fact that I have basically progressed to bugging them on the daily 🤣). I especially wanna thank Kat for being so awesome and for recommending different seltzers for me to try — they’re super patient and easy to talk to....
