This old venue is still alive and well with the sounds of music! It’s amazing how these small music spaces create an intimate moment with musicians who perform here. I came to see a local Nashville band, Arlie, here! For people who are on the comp list (guest list), it’s very easy for the staff to find your name and verify that you have comp tickets. Otherwise, you can sometimes buy tickets at the door if not sold out. This venue does several shows a night: an early show starting at 6pm, and late show starting at 9:30, and a late show that starts around midnight! The room is intimate with the outer walls lined with sofas. But with how good the music is, you’ll want to stand by the stage! The acoustics are fantastic - the sound engineers properly mix the music to be loud yet balanced and not hurting one’s ears.

Venue has good lighting and sound, but is very small. I didn't particularly like walking down a narrow area to enter the music venue. It's a cute spot for small shows, but can get pretty uncomfortable for sold out shows. Band pictured is Modernlove. Cheers.

A few decades old, this venue was and still is the place to see up and comers plus local bands. The price is low and never really reaches $30. I can't say anything about drinks but there are courtesy cups of water if needed. Men's restroom is decent. I know before the pandemic the place was washed down around noon. Staff is friendly, the door guys are very good people. A few buses nearby (M14, 21, 9) and the F train a few blocks over.

I had an amazing time here. Stumbled upon an amazing set of local artists, and more importantly, true entertainers.

Went last night to see the new incarnation of Liz Cooper, first concert in 15 months. I miss the laid-back, rambling style of her with the Stampede but it was an excellent show nonetheless. In any case the mercury lounge is a storied venue with lots of history and a good enough sound system for the type of shows they put on. A beer was $9.

I've been here a couple times and it's consistently so much fun. The bands here are great, I saw Sub Radio and Anna Sun, the bartenders are nice, and the space is amazing.

An amazing bar and venue. The back stage area seems to grow even bigger with the amount of people filling it to see a band. I came to see The Lastlings on the first leg of their international tour. It was an amazing gig at a great venue. It feels great to start seeing events and life starting back up again!

We saw Buffalo Nichols here. An intimate place to see a show. Probably more intimate than Buffalo Nichols wanted.

A delicious beer, a very cool space, with an old school vibe. It’s the sort of place someone from behind you hands you a beer to pass to the lead singer. That sort of vibe. Very chill, nice folks. And the show I saw was excellent — awesome sound, and when it got a bit hot they kicked on the AC. All around great time.

Such a cool place to see a show. Perfect size to really take it in a feel a connection with the performance. Great acts too I saw Arden Jones there

We had a blast. Great place to have drinks & listen to some good live music.

Great venue to listen to up and coming artist. Buy tickets online at the website. There’s a bar for beer & cocktails. Great sound system. We saw Sunday Gravy.

Still one of the all-time best clubs in Manhattan. Just small enough, excellent sound, great staff. Love it. If you have a favorite band and they just happen to be playing at “The Merc”, you are in for a treat.

Great music bands performing tonight for 30 minutes. The Dye was great. The space is large with a bar at the front entrance. Cover charge at door is $15 in cash. You can pay online but there's a fee. We paid at the door. They've a free water fountain & cups so ok if you don't want to buy anything after you get inside.

Went to nye pary here. Was so fun! There are so many weird characters here and it's fun to go even if you don't drink. You can spend the whole night people watching. Drinks reasonably priced and the bartender was very friendly. I was NOT sober and kind of acted dumb but she dealt with it with complete class and understanding. I guess they get a lot of that there so she's used to it, but still pretty cool.of her. Overall just such a unique atmosphere and should be experienced by everyone at least once!

Went to go see new Indie band K.O.I. they helped book an amazing headliner last night from New Jersey. All the bands last night were totally amazing worth coming out and breaking daily cycle with coming out to this venue. Sound guy is amazing and security is great. Had an amazing time . Thanks K.O.I. for bringing in the fresh new year with the entertainment to expect into the new year. Can't wait for you next show at Mercury Lounge.

If you like smaller, intimate venues than this is the place for you. Drinks were very fairly priced and they had a lot of options. A HUGE plus is the coat check - something you don’t find all too often when going out nowadays. Would definitely go back to this venue! Had an absolutely blast.

Great venue in New York City which hosts live bands and sometimes even New wave dance events. Nice intimate small sized room attracting some great less known bands and love it. Bar area is outside the concert area and while crowded, they are quick to serve. Drink prices were moderate - hey its NYC. The concert room can probably hold about 300 or so ... Saw a band called APB from Scotland play there and had such a great time. Check it out for a nice cool groove concert or dance event!!

One enters an oblong bar area, well stickied with everything fit which. a serious drinker could. At the far end there is a doorway that leads into a large space suitable for dancing to live DJ entertainment or to viewing band performances from the raised stage. The layout and careful management add up to a good experience at reasonable NYC prices.

Its tickets are pricy, though I get it. Also, it was like a sauna in there, and management didn't turn on the AC until the show was almost over, even though the band was verbal about it. Great sound, though.

Needs stronger pours on the liquor but the room and audio is great.

Came here for a concert. Space was nice and intimate, acoustics and sound was exceptional, really felt like we were with the band. But quite possibly the worst lighting i have seen in a venue. Bright studio lights shine directly into your retinas, so annoying. Carry sunglasses, or avoid if sensitive to light.

I love this venue! Good service and reasonable prices for drinks. As a concert hall there is usually a band or DJ on stage. Great music!

One of the most intimate and prolific music venues in the country. See anyone here that you can.

Super great small venue! 👏 I really loved how you feel more connected with the artists on stage here
