Information about this business (5)

A classic Soho hot spot, MercBar combines the comfort and style of an elegant mountain lodge with the good vibes of a bustling watering hole. Relax on the plush couches and ottomans or mix it up with the friendly crowd. Either way, don?t forget to try the signature Vacation cocktail, made with Stoli Vanila, Malibu Rum, pineapple juice and a variety of fine liqueurs. MercBar is also a great...

A post-spotlight haunt with a warm, if not slightly eerie, atmosphere and more than its fair share of the beautiful people.

Canoe, canoe? It's hanging above the bar and looks like it was designed by a mountain man who liked his martinis dirty. Deer horns, banquettes stretched with cowhide, and oilskin artwork carry on strange, pre-taxidermy-chic theme. Forgiving lights. Stiff, if pansy-named, drinks. Good for a discreet rendezvous. Rich cats blowing bank. Not keepin' the block hot like before, but enough copycats...

Notable for its long tenure in the fickle world of beautiful-people bars, the upscale MercBar has mellowed nicely. The decor bespeaks civilized rusticity with warm woods, a canoe over the bar, copper-top tables, and butter-leather banquettes—think SoHo goes to Yosemite. Look carefully to find it, because there’s no sign.

Downtown chic meets rustic ski lodge at this cozy Soho standard.

In Short
It's an escape to Aspen without leaving the city at this Soho mainstay, which combines the comfort of a rustic ski lodge with downtown style and luxury. Large photographs of...

Неожиданное замечательное место. Классные коктейли, обстановка, обслуживание. Ощущение что попал в какой то секретный бар и оказался в другом городе. Через 100 метров суета Бродвея, тут иная атмосфера

MercBar is decorated like the ski lodge you dreamed of scoring an invite to. Drinks are vacation-themed, but you might not ever want a break from its attractive clientele and pumped up vibes.

Try the Blackbird. ..

Go for the cocktails. Stay for the free pretzels.

Sip on a Sexy Sadie cocktail.

Business description (5)

Since 1992 the company has been providing Retail - Tavern (drinking Places). Merc Bar Inc is incorporated in New York, has 5 employees and estimated revenues of $260,000.00.

Merc Bar Inc is located at 151 Mercer St, New York, NY. This location is in the SoHo neighborhood. This business specializes in Party Rentals.

The “ski lodge comes to SoHo” at this longtime “class” act, a “chic place to get a well-mixed drink” in a “soothing” setting equipped with “wood paneling” and a “canoe on the ceiling”; “around too long to be trendy”, it’s “lost the ‘it’ crowd, which is actually a good thing.”

In Soho being trendy is a must, and most bars come and go quickly. So the fact that MercBar has managed to remain popular for so long means they must be doing something right. This sleek lounge rode an intense wave of popularity a few years ago, followed by the inevitable down phase. Now, it has reemerged as a suave local standby. Do not assume that Merc borrowed the idea of vintage couches,...

The Extras

Throw a private party in MercBar's enchanting Red Room. Equipped with its own bar, the space can accommodate up to 100 people.

What to Drink

A variety of specialty cocktails are served, with a focus on martinis. Try the white chocolate martini, made with Stoli Vanil, Godiva white and Godiva dark liqueur, and garnished with a swizzle stick ($14).

Where to Sit

In warmer weather, the front wall slides open to create open-air seating that's practically on the sidewalk. Grab a seat on the couches near the entrance, sip a martini and study the Soho passersby.
