Mercury Bar:
What happens when dance club meets sports bar? High-fiving suits and frisky co-eds, that's what. Mercury Bar is full of college kids and the junior executives who yearn to be amongst them. From the owners of Tonic in Midtown and Joshua Tree, this bar has two personalities. A front room offers a long bar, cozy booths, and a surf and turf menu, while the back room has floor-to-ceiling plasma screens surrounding a dance floor. With $4 beer and well drinks during happy hour (weekdays 6pm-9pm), football promotion nights, and a DJ spinning the Pussycat Dolls, this neighborhood bar is a good spot for sports-lovers who want to exercise their social skills.
I totally agree with Katherine, me and my friends went on a Thursday night to watch the game and the bar was packed but the service was still great and we had an awesome time. Its a great place to watch the game too, they have tons of beer on tap and a lot of big flatscreens all over. Buywithme NYC has a great deal going on now too (pay $15 and get $30 worth of food and drinks), here is the link: http://bit.ly/bbEsHj.

Great for Football
I come here a lot since I live near by. Getting a drink here after work is always good, but I really prefer the bar for football season. Lots of screens and 17 beers on tap which always makes for a good time. Just wanted to let you all know that for $30 you can get $15 worth of food this week on BuyWithMe NYC. Here's the link if you want to check it out http://bit.ly/bbEsHj

Pleasant experience
Hmm..I feel like BKFoodie and I went to two totally different places. I felt well-treated at Mercury. The staff was polite and fun. I was able to watch the game my boyfriend and I wanted. We even tried some new liquor that a Ty-Ku model stopped to chat with us about. The bar was PACKED the day we went, but we still didn't feel under appreciated at all.

The staff & management at Mercury Bar treat customers like cattle not humans! I usually give a place a few tries before I am completely fed up and this place I will NEVER GO TO AGAIN. The manager “Darren” is unprofessional and should search out a new career. After kindly asking whether a game would be shown on one of the smaller TVs I was told that it would. I then asked to be seated at a small table since the bar was completely full. The table was filthy! I ordered chicken tenders and fries. They had been cooked in what tasted like month-old grease! DISGUSTING!! I ordered a drink which tasted like musty armpits. I can’t believe this place passed a health inspection. FILTHY! The waitress was very rude and asked me to move so that she could make money off of a larger group of four waiting to be seated at a table meant for 2 at best. I happened to be sitting there but she insisted on moving me to accommodate her needs. I refused since I had already started eating my food. The waitress then told customers to come and ask me if I would be leaving soon in the middle of my meal. 4 separate occurrences I was interrupted. UNPROFESSIONAL! The manager then decided to turn the only TV that the game was playing on that I had previously requested. I got up from my dinner and asked the Manager if the TV could be turned back, he then told me that they would be turning that game off. I asked him to wait until 8pm. He agreed but then decided to go back on his agreement, because at 7:47 he turned the game off and the waitress brought my check. She then told 4 other customers they could have the table I was still seated at! RUDE! The customers rudely ignored that I was there and proceeded to take over the table. I was quite cordial yet annoyed. The manager then came over to me and said I was no longer a paying customer. DRAMATIC! I had just paid for a full dinner and drinks yet I was asked to leave. I exited gladly.
