Incredible old New York vibe. A bit edgy and I love that. Tom the bartender is lovely and sings pretty songs upstairs sometimes. Oh and the Treehouse room upstairs is a great place for music.Upvoted 1 week ago- BonobosAugust 9, 2012Great two-for-one happy hour every day until 8PM. And they even let you bring in tacos from the delicious taco truck across the street.
A charming mix of old bar smell and new bar windows and sidewalk seating. Great people watching here and if you're the type, a bit of frosé in the warmer months.
ben mAugust 20, 2014Been here a bunch but once I took a first date here before seeing Sound Team and Cold War Kids at Mercury Lounge. That was 2006 and we are now married and have a daughter. It worked! Oh, have an IPA.- Neighborhood bar with a local charm has cool bartenders, reasonable prices, and an upstairs lounge with sofa and ottoman-style seating and floor-to-ceiling windows providing a great view outside.
Jason BrewJanuary 31, 2016A solid spot to relax with a drink at the window and watch people walk by...
Sit upstairs in the corner and look out over 2nd St & Ave A. One of the best seats in NYC to have a drink. Hint: don't try this one weekend.
hafeez rajiAugust 8, 2011As i've mentioned not drinking this year and although I've drank here I can't really recall the prices, I did notice they now have popcorn and what's kinda cool about this spot are the two different f Read more
Destiny ChambersNovember 3, 2015The upstairs DJ had too great-a-tunes for a Tuesday night. Unnecessary epicness. Loved it!
Amanda RFebruary 19, 2012The music downstairs is pretty crappy, but go upstairs to the lounge area with a DJ & big windows & a view of projected images onto the building across the street.
Kristen BaxterJuly 20, 2012This place seems much more enticing from the outside than once you enter it's surprisingly bland depths. Also, essentially every bar on this block has a buy one get one free happy hour.
Sinking Ship RecordsAugust 18, 2011David Cross is there. Right now. Drinking downstairs by the door. I promise you. (Well... he's been there almost every time I've been!)
- Harry RaymondFebruary 10, 2016If you're looking for Bar Berlin, it's around the corner in the basement.
D HashMay 25, 2011Free popcorn, 2 for 1 drinks at happy hour. Great layout - good tunes. Can't go wrong.
Awesome people-watching with a prime corner spot and big windows. 2-for-1 happy hour every day!
Not sure it's deserves to be called a Dive Bar. If you get your hand stamp at Mercury Lounge beers are only $3. PS go up stairs already!
Emily SearsMarch 13, 2011If you need to stretch your hamstring, do it before you go in because it can get crowded in there.
Gil LopezNovember 1, 2010Used to have some pretty great DJs and the sweetest bartender Upstairs on Monday nights
The Bartender shows more love when you tip more. Tip more expect atleast one or two free drinks...
- Life's A Beach At 2A. Warm Environment. Cool Kats. Hot Chicks. And Cold Drinks...
Most amazing Halloween bartender, worth a visit today!
Michael BradyAugust 20, 2009The upstairs lounge is usually empty and staffed by by favorite bartender in the city.
