About Trade House

Trade House is a pub and gathering place in the heart of downtown Salem, Massachusetts, where great food, craft drinks, and good company come together. In the early 1900s, the space was home to a neighborhood provisions store just steps from a bustling wharf — and by the late 20th century, it had become a cherished local pub. Today, the restaurant honors that legacy by creating a space that feels familiar but fresh, where the energy of the past meets the flavors of today.
