The Spiritualist

Tucked into Merchant City on Miller Street, The Spiritualist is a refined cocktail bar and restaurant that balances luxe design with social energy. The name hints at its essence: a place to gather, sip, and be transported. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re greeted by soft lighting, curated décor (think marble surfaces, brass accents, plush seating) and a centerpiece bar gantry that proudly displays a sweeping selection of spirits.

They champion the “share & discover” approach to food: small plates, bar bites, and a full a la carte menu that draws from British and international influences.

A highlight is their Boozy Brunch, available Thursday to Sunday (12 pm–3 pm) — combining solid brunch fare with cocktail flair.

They also offer a “just drinks” booking option, so even without a full meal you can reserve a table for cocktails. Walk-ins are welcomed too.

The Musical backdrop is subtle — background tracks meant to complement rather than overpower conversation. The vibe feels elevated but not intimidating: more approachable elegance than stuffy formality. Many patrons highlight both the creativity of the drinks and the approachable food menu.

In short

The Spiritualist is ideal for nights when you want more than a drink — a combined sensory experience of ambiance, flavors, and a sense of occasion.
