Mercer

Little sister to nearby Mighty, this intimate, casual space seeks to draw an attitude-free crowd. And since Mercer inherited a prized sound system from defunct techno club 222, the sound quality is top notch. Tuesday through Friday, it welcomes the after-work happy-hour crowd, filling a huge void in the surrounding Design District, and is open for select after-dark events when DJs spin disco, house, hip-hop and sometimes, as in the name of a popular recurring party, All of the Above.
