History

Went out with wings and the Knicks

Mercury Bar stood at 659 Ninth Avenue, at West 46th Street¹. After 27 incredible years, its farewell said, the time had come for a final bow¹. It served its last wing on Sunday, June 21, 2026, at a going-out ceremony full of Knicks playoff games¹. The bar's website now says "We are closed" and "Thank you for the memories"².
