About Me

The Mercury Lounge is the home of everything eclectic and provacative between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Furnished in plush couches and swank coffee tables, lit by candles and moody spots and decorated in 50's kitsch. If Dorothy and Toto landed here, they would never want to go back to Kansas.
The Mercury Lounge is full of warm, down-home hospitality. Where freinds gather and share good times. Some of the bands we have had here are: Big Sandy & his Fly Rite Boys, Asylum Street Spankers, Critters Buggin, Buckethead, Deke Dickerson, Deadbolt, Exene Cervenka and the Original Sinners, The Deadbillies, The Billy Nayer Show, California Guitar Trio with Tony Levin, Frenchy, The Red Elvises, Grave Danger, and many many more. We have worked hard to bring great live music to a sometimes lacking local scene. So don't be shy, come on OUT to Go-Go-Leta, and step into another world at the Merc.
