"The Mercury closed after dealing with financial woes and a legal battle with Ponce City Market property owners over the lease." - Beth McKibben
"The Mercury, a cocktail lounge and restaurant located on the second floor of the food hall at Ponce City Market, is closing on May 31. The closure follows a legal battle with property owners Jamestown over the lease. Opened in January 2016, The Mercury channeled mid-century vibes in both its cocktail and food menus and its design. Despite being profitable, the business could not continue due to the lease dispute." - Beth McKibben
"Christmas Eve is also Merc Monday at the Mercury in Ponce City Market. That means half-priced classic cocktails. The bar is also offering a few hot drinks on the menu for winter along with a brand new non-alcoholic cocktail list." - Beth McKibben
"The Mercury, a mid-century-style drinks lounge and restaurant, opened in 2016 on the second floor of Ponce City Market. It has also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy but will remain operational." - Beth McKibben
"The Mercury is a restaurant and cocktail bar in Ponce City Market that looks like a cross between a set from The Jetsons and Mad Men. This place makes great drinks and it’s worth getting here early to have one before being seated for dinner. The menu is made up of upscale comfort food and includes a few different sandwiches and entrees, but the prime rib dinner - or sandwich - should be your first choice. After dinner, head up to the rooftop for some mini golf and a night cap, or take some extra time at the bar making mental notes of how to make your apartment look more like this place." - Sarah Bailey
