Venues / Manhattan Mercury Lounge
Mercury Lounge
Nearest trains: FMJZ
A tiny Houston Street back room that's been the proving ground for two generations of NYC bands.
What makes it special: The Strokes to Interpol cut their teeth here, if you want to say you saw them first, this is where.
Insider notes
- The back room is small and gets hot, no bad spot but no AC miracles either.
- Front bar is separate from the stage room, listen for load-in.
- Cheap tickets, big upside, a real discovery venue.
