The Mercury Lounge is a self proclaimed "dive bar" most of the time, but also hosts music acts. This review is for the music venue role. The good; they bring in a wide range of excellent touring musicians in a wide variety of genres. The sound system is up to par, and the stage area has good lighting. The venue is small, so you don't have to fight your way through huge lines (I've heard 80 is the capacity, FWIW). The bad; the bar is directly in the middle of the venue, so either you are right up front, or you are in back with an obstructed view of the stage...if you want a good view, get there early. It really is an old service station with minimal amenities. The bathrooms look to be a carryover from those days... Things to know; there is minimal seating at the bar and along the walls, so if you need to sit, again, get there early. Parking for the venue is primarily on the street; we didn't have any issues for a Wednesday show, but if the other nearby venue had a show/it was on a weekend, you might be looking at walking a little ways. I love that they bring in great music; not as big a fan of the layout of the venue and the dive bar atmosphere, but for me, it's an acceptable trade off.
