The Exchange

Named "The Exchange" because this site was originally a livestock exchange where cattle and sheep were bought and sold, now it is a lively and active public gathering space.

Meeting up with friends but everyone wants food and drinks from a different vendor? No problem! At The Exchange, choice is paramount. Order what you want and meet your friends in the plaza where common seating eliminates compromise.
