About this business

Situated in a lively neighborhood, Mercury Lounge is such a bright and colorful bar that it replicates its namesake's closeness to the Sun. The colors are over the top in this otherwise well-kept bar and restaurant that offers a wide range of sporting events to view. Casual dining is available with a large selection of gentrified pub grub and cocktails. In the summer, outdoor seating is available. Daily happy hour deals vary, but last until 7pm. Lunch and weekend brunch menus are also available and include delivery options. ... read more

goodtimes in a bad economy – I recently meet my friends at Mercury for drinks before dinner and had an amazing time. The friendly staff greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. We walked in exactly at the right time when the bartender began playing the wheel of fortune game that scored us half price drinks!!! So we ordered a couple drinks sat around enjoyed the atmosphere the friendly waitress sold us on a couple of appetizers that were amazing and before you know it we cancelled our reservations and had dinner there. Ove... read more

AVOID AT ALL COSTS – Much agreed, I've lived in this neighborhood for six years, and this has to be the worst place to could choose to go to. I was recently coerced into meeting friends for a bite to watch a game---the bartender barely acknowledged us and the waitresses all walked around with scowls on their faces. When our food came out cold and we finally got the bartender's attention, he went over to the "owner" (mean face and really bad fake tan) who glared in our direction. We got new food, but no apology---almost like ... read more

why mercury bar when there are other great places in the neighborhood? – My coworkers and I used to go the Mercury Bar every weekend but we stopped going because the whole bar changed.. meeting a new bartender every weekend was making me dizzy (apparently Mercury Bar goes through alot of staff) and I couldnt sit without seeing some kind of ad being shoved down my throat, the last straw was turning the entire bar into a billboard, it was too much... also the staff can be alittle offish and nonchalant. I will miss the pizza bu... read more

The best of the best. – Let's be honest. 1. Everyone that hated Mercury Bar has a personal story that could have happened anywhere. 2. Typically, people only review a place if they hate it. So let me give you the truth. Mercury Bar is a good place. It's exactly what you expect out of a bar in the area: decent food, decent drinks, etc. Some people are friendly, some aren't, but the place has a very nice vibe. Also, it's no exaggeration to say that Mercury Bar has some of the finest edamame in all of 9th Avenue. So come on dow... read more

DON'T GO HERE! – I will break it down simply-frozen burgers, flat-soggy pizza, and bad drinks. To top off my lovely experience- the staff was unattentive, AND when I complained that the food was inedible, the manager told me I had to pay for it even though I didn't eat it! I told her I didn't eat it because it was inedible! Told her she should try it to see how bad it was and she refused! AND I STILL HAD TO PAY! I wasn't offered something else. No customer service. The funny part of it was they were running a special and it ... read more

THE WORST BAR ON 9TH – You have got to be kidding me. I went for ladies night, and guess what... Me and my girlfriend were the only ladies... oh no wait... the rude waitresses were there too. The $5 drinks weren't worth it considering they use a terrible well and no alchohol. SO when I decided to get a more expensive cocktail, like the bacardi mojito-it would help IF THEY ACTUALL USED BACARDI! This place is the worst. HATE IT!

The time i spent inside was not fantastic and if you want to get treate... read more

Dont' go there - Unprofessional and immature staff – My friends and I went there for a New Year's Eve 2007 private party. I am a native New Yorker and have seen enough rude people at bars. But this place by far gave me the worst experience I have ever had. When we went there those people didn't even have a guestlist for the private party. They just let anyone who was willing to pay $60 to get in and by doing that the bar was overcrowded. Nevertheless, this is not the highlight of the experience. The coat check ladies lost ou... read more

Infestation and Useless Management – BEWARE!! I was in last night and tripped on "vermon" DO NOT GO here. The manager refused to come out when I requested to talk to her about what I had seen. What kind of place is this?
