What we say

Stiff drinks, jukebox and chill vibe
A classic dive bar in every sense of the term. While it used to be a local secret, in recent years more of the masses realized the Merc is there perfect place to start off a night out with their strong, cheap drinks.

***** Wonderful place to be a girl
Posted: June 18, 2008
As Tgirl, I find the Merc is a great place to go on Saturday nights. By 10PM there will be at least a dozen other girls there. The crowd is fun and friendly... easy to meet and greet and you can find your spotlight or a dark corner as needs. No cover, great drinks, easy parking, easy persons.

***** Friendly Place
Posted: May 15, 2008
Great place to socialize and get a great cocktail that not far from downtown. They have a covered smoking area OUTSIDE the main building where the smokers and most of the non-smoking customers hang out. I never noticed smoke inside. No dance floor, no loud music but lots of conversation.

***** Strong drinks
Posted: April 28, 2008
This bar is reported to have the strongest drinks served in Sacramento's gay friendly bars. While there is no dancing, it is a great place to socialize. Beware of the enclosed smoking area outdoors. The non-smoking area is inside the main building, but smoke still drifts inside.
