Merc Bar

Nice atmosphere. I like the waterfall pictures behind the bar, As well as the leather & fabric  chairs. Lots of wood, both in the tables and the flooring, adds to a warm atmosphere here as well. They give you popped corn Witt your drinks too, quite tummy

I've been here many times, but this is the first time I'm reviewing the place. I'm giving Merc Bar a 4 but it should probably a 3.5. It feels a bit dated to me (dark lounge with rude people - so old school) but its a great place to take people from out of town. People from out of town have a "Sex and the City" image of NYC if they haven't been here before. Merc Bar satisfies the need to feel like Carrie and Mr. Big I guess.

Also, they actually play good tunes (I have poor taste in music so take this with a grain of salt)  and the 'people watching' can be good. In fact, I love looking at the twenty-somethings who have a little money, go out on a date, and stop by Merc Bar to be seen as the city's best-dressed love birds.
