Mercury Lounge, Music venue in Lower East Side, Manhattan, New York City, United States.
The Mercury Lounge occupies a building at 217 East Houston Street, featuring a concert room with a capacity of 250 people and professional sound equipment.
The structure housed servants of the Astor mansion during the 19th century, connected through underground tunnels, before becoming a restaurant and tombstone shop.
Since its establishment in 1993, the Mercury Lounge has introduced numerous independent artists, including The Strokes, Arcade Fire, and Lady Gaga, to the music industry.
Concert tickets typically range from 12 to 35 dollars, with doors opening in the evening and performances continuing until late at night.
The venue's former booking manager, Ryan Gentles, discovered The Strokes during their performance and subsequently left his position to become their full-time manager.
