We were met by some crazy wind walking from the mud lot to the front door, which made Mercury Bar feel even cozier inside. (At least until the next person walked in to let in the cold).
The place had swagger and an awesome selection of Michigan Beers. We went with the Bell's Oarsman - a sour ale that was a lot like hard cider. It was delicious and light and we highly recommend it.
For meal time - Lauren got the Murty-bird, not just for its awesome name, but because it was an Aidells chicken apple sausage with caramelized onions and Dijon mustard. As for me - I configured my own dog. All-beef weiner with cheddar, onion and avocado. (I freaking love avocado.) And let me tell you, these puppies did not disappoint.
After some lovely conversation, badgering the waitress with questions and downing the last bits of beer, we explored the place with our cameras out like tourists would do. The place is small, but there is a basement section and an outdoor patio in addition to the main area. We can't wait to revisit the outdoor oasis when the weather gets warmer. If they started playing live music out there, I'm pretty sure we would become regulars.
Welp, that's Mercury Bar! Thanks for being our first stop in this great adventure!
