Venue #9: Mercury Lounge!

It's Friday! 

And you know what that means, we have reached our fifth venue from The Bowery Presents: Mercury Lounge! This one is a little more of an intimate setting for the boys, but nonetheless, a pretty fantastic venue. 


Remember, if you like a venue or have any questions/comments for us, please don't hesitate to contact us at BringBDtoEC@gmail.com and let us know what you think! (Please let us know, we want the boys here just as much as you do!)

Have a great weekend!

History:

Mercury Lounge:

Mercury Lounge, located at 217 E. Houston Street, is a Lower East Side icon. This intimate venue is perfect for a smaller gathering. It’s divided into two rooms: The front one, with a long oak bar, bathrooms and coat check, welcomes people off the street. The back room, which houses the stage, is the main gathering area. Sightlines are superb, the sound is crystal clear and a green room is available.


Bowery Presents:

The Bowery Presents is known for providing the best concert experience for fans and artist in New York City along with reasonable ticket prices. Michael Swier and John Moore have presented music at Mercury Lounge, The Bowery Ballroom and Webster Hall for 15 years. Jim Glancy, former president of the New York division of Live Nation, joined The Bowery Presents as a partner in 2006. The company then opened Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn in September 2007, Terminal 5 in midtown Manhattan in October 2007, and The Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, N.J., in October 2008. The Bowery Presents began booking Boston's Royale in Spring 2010 and will be putting on shows at State Theatre in Portland, Maine, later this year.
