Editorial Review for Merc Bar – by Brian Obermiller

In Short
This dark, semi-hidden haunt is popular with upscale Phoenicians. The location and low-key approach (no sign at the entrance) make it a favorite of celebs and pro athletes. Well-dressed young professionals and 30-somethings plant themselves at the bar or in comfy chairs and stools situated around short lounge tables to sip on specialty martinis.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Specialty martinis rule here--try the Sofia Loren (vodka, strawberries and mint) for a refreshing cocktail.

My wife and I were in there and out waitress Melissa was the best. She was so friendly and on top of everything. My wife is african american and I am white. She didn't treat us any differenty. We have ran into alot of people that judge us they may not say it but we can see it in their face. She is obvisouly not predjudice in any way. Everyone else seemed very friendly and it was a cozy environment.

Greg Wheeler designer and owner of the MERC created this club while living in Denver in the 80's. Spending his extra time at the Denver design center and planning several cities based on work and nitelife. Executive offices,shops,salons,restaurants and the most important bars,tavernsand niteclubs all closely knit within walking distance. Hotels and movie theaters in case your sauced or if in a city where it is common for a blizzard and you where snowed in you could catch a movie or get a room. Very upscale trendy club very cool! Great drink specials very cool crowd much fun! Great music none of that adolescent hip-hop/rap god aweful sound that children consider to be music. Great alternative music,trance and techno what's the difference expect hot women with taste and class.
