Merc is so cool it barely has a sign -- just look for the door tucked across from Houston's and you'll see a tiny plaque. Inside is high style, with brass tables, designer sofas, dark wood accents and virtual bat-cave lighting. Clientele is of the well-heeled sort, with plenty of businessmen and pretty young things sipping French martinis while nibbling on gourmet appetizers. Get there early, the place fills up quickly.

  • 2011 | Best Lounge

  • 2010 | Best Mojito

    Some places just cram mint leaves in the bottom of a glass, pour rum over them, and call it a mojito. But at MercBar, the mojito is a piece of real craftsmanship. Bartenders take their time crushing ice and mint leaves together in the glass... More >

    Merc Bar is like a little piece of New York in Phoenix--it just has that cool factor, with the handcrafted cocktails, low lighting, comfy seating and attractive staff. And it's no surprise Merc Bar has an additional location in, you guessed it, NYC. http://www.nickialanoche.com/2010/05/29/sex-and-the-city-2-wasnt-necessary-but-it-was-still-sort-of-fun/

    When it came time to round up our 10 best girlfriends for the long-awaited Sex and the City movie, we knew there was only one place to go afterward, for a round of cosmopolitans: Merc Bar. We love this Biltmore hotspot because it's not only dark and sexy but comfy — the perfect place to talk, sip, and ogle eye candy. We particularly love the cosmopolitans: classic pink tartness in an elegant glass. To quote Samantha Jones, "What could be more fabulous?"
