Thanks for the memories, Houston. ā¤ļø
We have loved spending the last 10 years with you in this space, but itās time to say goodbye. Thanks to every single person whose ever joined us for a beer, played a round of trivia, watched a Nebraska game, eaten a few chicken wings, or just spent an afternoon hanging out with us at Hay Merchant.

The Cease & Desist Burgerā a Hay Merchant classic. OG's will know the story behind the nameā¦letās just say we had never heard of a āDouble Doubleā before. Honest mistake. š¤·
Anyways, the bad news is that thereās only a few weeks left to try the Hay Merchant C&D. Two 44 Farms patties, two slices of cheese, lettuce, house-made pickles, and local tomato. The GOOD news, is that Underbelly Burger is now open at the The Houston Farmers Market. Itās not the exact same as the C&D, but itās damn delicious. Next time youāre craving a burger, we advise giving it a shot. šš„
In the meantime, Hay Merchant is open tonight from 5-11pm & thereās still time to get your classic C&D burger fix. š
