"What a fun spot! Full of life, great drinks, interesting events, and kind people. Highly recommend checking out their events calendar!"

"This review is more so to help out of towners. I went to the Mercury for the Latin Jazz festival last month (which was amazing.). Just a warning do not park in the lot across from the venue. It’s privately owned and the QR codes in the lot are linked to a payment system that will collect all your banking information but won’t register you paid. Later you will get a huge fine (over $100) for not paying and in my experience I had a fraudulent charge 2 weeks after using this parking lot that required me to close my debit card. Outside of parking and this experience the venue was great and the show was great."

"This was an experience and a half. So much going on between Latin Jazz upstairs, movies and tarot readers and spoken word downstairs, friendly service, good food, comfortable layout, and somehow we could still hear each other without shouting. It's a very old school joint with a heavy LGBTQIA+ support vibe. Parking can be tricky but the chill time when showing up early is worth it."

"Baby Rave was great. Ball pits, free face painting, fun music, hoopla hoops, bubbles, and adult beverages."

"The mercury cafe is an iconic, legendary, historic venue with SO MUCH vibe. Completely unique!! Rough part of town but worth it!! The upstairs venue is big and awesome for music and dancing. The downstairs is fun too!"
