Our Story

Welcome to Mercado by Butchertown and Ramone’s Oyster Bar and Citrus Club, located in the heart of Nashville's Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood, brought to life by local restaurateur Terry Raley and the visionary team at Amaranth Hospitality Group.

Our story begins with the success of Butchertown Hall, a beloved establishment that has become a staple in Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood for craft tacos, Texas BBQ, and killer margaritas. Fueled by a passion for delivering exceptional dining experiences, we are proud to introduce Mercado, an exciting expansion of the Butchertown brand, alongside our rooftop bar, Ramone’s Oyster Bar and Citrus Club. With spectacular views and full Mercado menu availibility, Ramone’s is the perfect setting to bask in the warmth of great times and great friends as you soak in the sunshine and panoramic views.

At Mercado, we bring together the best of Butchertown Hall's favorites and infuse them with a fresh focus on oysters, Baja-style fish tacos, and spicy Mexican aguachile.

Step inside and immerse yourself in a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. Our centerpiece raw bar offers an array of fresh east and west coast oysters, alongside a tantalizing selection of spicy Mexican aquachile, ceviches, and mariscos. For margarita enthusiasts, Mercado stands as a haven, promising an unparalleled experience.

The name "Mercado" captures the essence of a lively marketplace where friends and family come together to share exceptional food and create lasting memories. Our stylish and inviting interior, designed by Terry Raley, evokes both modernity and comfort, with various seating options, a communal dining table, raw bar seating, large booths, and a rockin’ 50-seat outdoor patio.
