Literally one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. I had the branzino with shishito peppers and the chef was on point in every regard. They also had a seared lemon at the side which went perfectly with the fish and sauce. Sat at the bar and the service was great and the ambience lovely. It wasn’t loud, the music was soothing, and I felt at peace after a long stressful week. Highly, highly recommend.

Stopped in after realizing that the former Bar Tulix reopened as Bar Mercer. Got a dozen oysters which were super fresh, grilled gambas, and a few cocktails. They had a decent selection of wines and champagne at the usual Soho prices. Even their house wine though was very good, nice and light and not too sweet. Overall really great. Kind of a funky vibe inside in terms of the decor and music which I enjoyed. It felt “different” in a good way. Will definitely be back to try more of their food!

Bar Mercer is a gem of a bar/restaurant. The best service from the manager and staff. Hats off to the chef who always gets it right.

Our hostess Amaris was an absolute gem, she warmly accommodated our walk in at a busy time and was very charming. If it wasn’t for her flexibility in navigating our odd-sized group (5), we may not have been sat. Our server, Marco, was a complete professional, everything came out quick and on point.
Bar Mercer is an inviting take on new American dining and drinks. A much needed refresh from the previous format of this location – this is a place to check out now! Was the perfect drinks and apps drop off point for me and my boys after a day of shopping in soho. Next time I’ll bring my girl for dinner!
I will be frequenting this place more. Loved the vibe!

Came here for a drink/cocktail after a movie and this place is so beautiful inside. We sat at the bar and had two stunningly great cocktails. I got the Sour Patch sour (I believe it was called) and it’s phenomenal. It was a bourbon drink with a taste of pear and ginger honey. My husband got the margarita which was also very very good, and had carrot juice in it was such a different but layered taste to the drink. The vibes are stellar for a date night and the staff was so so nice and helpful. Def recommend, especially if you’re looking for a drink stop post movie outing!

If you like dining at Lure this is an alternative option. Really enjoyed the branzino and hangover pasta. Deviled eggs and oysters were also very good. The berries dessert wasn’t my favorite but I’d be back to try the chocolate crème brûlée.

I wanted to love it but the food was just okay. The cocktails were excellent though. If you stop by it may be more for happy hour but the burger isn’t nearly what the TikTok hype made it out to be.

ambiance is quite nice. Relaxing, quiet, warm.
Drinks tad expensive. But this is 2026 soho after all. They do have happy hour with $11 classic martinis which is pretty great
