The mercury on new years

by mrlittle at Citysearch

I drove all the way to the Mercury from Moses Lake on new years. My friends were all there but they would not let me in because I was wearing jeans! What a bunch of bull crap. None of the people even looked Goth just a bunch of riff raff! The Mercury will never get ANY of my hundred dollar bills! Screw you Merc!

Avoid Saturday, Strong Drinks, Generous Bartenders.

by jdelahan at Citysearch

I can't get over the superficial reviews that are being posted about The Merc. Who doesn't remember the "goth kids" in high-shool who were not popular and were always lumped in with the "nerds"? I've always been able to spot plenty of 'eye-candy" both male and female. The drinks are strong and cheap and people are friendly, as long as you take the time to talk to them. The music is always better and the crowd more diverse on Friday's. Saturday's are good, as long as you go early. There is a female DJ there, that plays some good stuff, but tends to play more female driven dance on Saturdays. I would have to agree that the music is always better and more consistent with goth/industrial on Fridays.

• Pros: Strong Drinks, Easy to get to, Good Music on Friday's
• Cons: Bad Music on Saturdays

get your ugly on

Seattle has a very small goth/industrial scene so don't expect a lot at The Mercury.I was shocked the first time I walked in.You will be greeted by the most rude and unfriendly female door nazi.Her constant scowl is enough to scare anyone away.Don't tip her.The employees claim they are all volunteers(I was told this place is non profit,???) but they all get paid.Along with the smoke, there is snobbiness in the air. But once you take a look at the actual people, you wonder why because they are mostly overweight, dungeon and dragon, computer software, introverts. The people don't bother to dress up. The girls wear ponytails, cargo pants, and hardly any makeup. The guys are mostly old and bald.If you're gonna be unfriendly, at least take a shower and have some glam to go along with your attitude. The weekend djs should take a DJ 101 class and learn how to spin.They don't seem to care what they play and the music is all over the place. Weekends aren't Goth but they are dark and have more of a dance club, industrial vibe/scene.I've been in the scene for many years and have never come across a place as pathetic as this.The bartenders are awesome because they make cheap, strong drinks that you will definitley be needing to last a night in this place.

• Pros: really good,strong drinks, good dance floor,smoking inside(good if you're a smoker)
• Cons: the people

Worst Goth Culb Ever!

by realgoth at Citysearch

This is the worst so-called goth club ever! The only music played is industial, and what sometimes even sounds like techno! If you are looking for eye candy this is definitely not the place for you either. The entire whole in the ground a.k.a. the Mercury, is filled with nothing but a bunch of hairy, overwieght men with no sense of fashion what so ever, and the same applies to the females that frequent this sad excuse for a "nightclub. "

Don't waste your money, good make-up, or time.

Goth Club?

by michele21 at Citysearch

I had frequented this location for a couple years now and recently made a split from it and began to frequent Noc Noc on Saturday nights. This "goth" club claims to be members only, although in the name of the mighty dollar they'll let anyone in, no matter how they are dressed. Gothlings out there, I have a question: when was the last time you went to a club in jeans and a wool sweater?

Though the staff provides great service, this club had it's glory days back when the Catwalk was cool. The music quality has gone down hill, I decided I had made my last visit when the DJ had the audacity to play The Beastie Boys. Oh, and the no smoking law...let me just say they found a loop-hole, so if you are a non-smoking gothling, be prepared.
