A Social Hub Where Everyone Belongs

Co-founders Amanda Lewis and Stephanie Kinney created Mercantile 1888 to offer South Jersey a vibrant social space that does not revolve around alcohol. Located in a historic early 1900s bank building on Haddon Avenue, our space combines architectural charm, thoughtful non-alcoholic craft spirits, and warm hospitality.


Whether you live a fully sober lifestyle, are practicing mindful drinking, or simply want a great night out with friends, you always have a seat at our table.

Walk out lighter, clearer, and a little more like yourself. No experience needed. Bring a cushion or mat if you have one, wear something comfortable and and maybe a shawl to put on during the meditation. About your guide: Rupakshi Puri is an organizational psychologist, mindfulness coach, and yoga teacher, and the founder of Realign with Roop, a holistic mind, body, soul wellness practice in Philadelphia. She coaches and advises leaders on strategy, talent, and mindfulness, and through Realign she brings that same transformation to people on a personal level.
