Nestled downtown, Bar Mercer unites the hospitality of John McDonald with Chef Preston Clark's culinary artistry in an intimate setting of deep red walls, rich wood accents, and vintage fixtures. Our gastro-pub approach delivers a concise yet dynamic menu featuring a curated raw bar, skillfully prepared small plates, and hearty mains. From East and West Coast oysters to hamachi crudo, from perfectly seared branzino to a grass-fed filet au poivre, each dish reflects our commitment to exceptional ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Nightly blackboard specials showcase Chef Clark's creativity and the season's finest offerings.

Our extensive wine program spans revered regions worldwide, complemented by a premium spirits selection featuring rare single malts, small-batch bourbons, artisanal mezcals, and vintage-dated rums. Crafted cocktails blend classic techniques with contemporary sensibilities, creating balanced companions to our culinary offerings.

Bar Mercer welcomes you Tuesday through Sunday from 5PM (3PM weekends) for dinner only, with weekend brunch coming soon. Join us where exceptional food, wine, and conversation converge to create unforgettable evenings in our warmly sophisticated space.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
