Psst…can you keep a secret? Then head over to Merc Bar for this Tuesday night throwdown that’s put on for those “in the know,” not to mention 2,000 other people who get invited every week on Facebook. OK, maybe it’s not so secret after all. But, we’ve always liked how Merc Bar has managed to avoid cheesy gimmick specials and overexposure to draw a crowd. The bar has understated feeling that’s cool without feeling stuffy and the copper-topped, group-friendly seating’s a nice change from most Valley hangouts. DJs Sean Watson and William Reed put a new spin on laid-back lounge music that at times feels a little “club,” but definitely adds a different feel from other nights at the bar.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
