Tango parties, poetry slams, lindy-hop lessons, and Green Party meetings have all shared the same calendar here, which tells you everything about what kind of place this is. Mercury Cafe is a restaurant, dance club, music venue, and community living room rolled into one rambling building with baroque rooms. The vibe skews healthy and hippie, the crowd skews everyone, and the open-mic nights have earned a following devoted enough to win notice from Westword.
Two honors, in evidence:
The record strongest first
- Westword 2023 · Best Open-Mic Night · Best of Denver
