Frequently Asked Questions

At The Barley Merchant, we do our best to keep our front door moving smoothly and work to minimize wait times for our guests during our peak times. We have a spacious restaurant with over 200 seats and several areas where we can accommodate groups of up to 8 guests without a reservation. For this reason, we only take reservations for groups of 8 or more as we will need to coordinate multiple tables to allow for all guests to be seated together. 

We accept reservations for groups of 8 or more Sunday thru Thursday at any time. On Friday and Saturday from open until 3:00pm, we accept reservations for parties of 8 or more, then between 3:00pm and 4:30pm we take reservations for groups from 8 up to a maximum of 20 guests, then after 4:30pm, all seating will be on a first come first serve basis. If Monday is a holiday, then Sunday evening reservations may be limited and the same would go for Thursday if the Friday is a holiday.

***2024 Holiday Season*** From November 12th to December 31st, we will not be taking any reservations over 20 guests after 5:00pm on any day of the week.

If you have a group of 8 or more and would like to inquire about a reservation, please contact us at info@thebarleymerchant.com with your party size, date, cell number and preferred time and we will get back to you within 48 hours or to speak with someone right away, give us a call at 604-371-2699
