This is it.
Tonight is our FINAL night.
One last chance to gather inside Mercer Tavern and share a memory, have a drink of whatever is left and take a branded glass for the road!
🍻
We would like to leave you with this. When you’re locally owned independent business your staff ARE your business. From top to bottom every decision is made inside your 4 walls and make your business what it is!
So THANK YOU to all staff past and present. We wish you nothing but the best! ❤️

Hey history nerds! This one’s for you!
John Mercer built the Mercer Warehouse in 1911 to handle his growing liquor and cigar trade as well as a cold storage facility for The Calgary Brewing company.
In 1922 a fire destroyed the top 2 floors (hence our “burn it down” branding).
John Mercer had to pivot.
He decided to build it to 3 stories, instead of the original 4, and add loading bays to the north wall (our current garage doors). In the 1930s a matching 3 story annex was added to the southside which today houses many of our friends like , , , and much more!

Exciting things to come for the Tavern space in October. We have 2 more nights left before we get kicked out, so come on down!
Oh and do us a favour. Share a memory and use the hashtag . We would love to see it ❤️!
Well, sorry to bore some of you but hey, it’s my second last day, I’ll do what I want. 😂

Tonight we crown the champs!!! 👑
7pm start! 6 max per team. Choose WISELY!
📖 Story time:
When we got back to work after the first Covid shut down we knew people were itching to get out and be entertained but not a lot of options were out there.
CUE Tuesday Trivia Night!
Tuesdays soon became a night we looked forward to, making friends again & getting out of the house! May we never take getting out of the house and socializing with friends for granted again!
Big thanks to for hosting and the Mercer management team for putting in the effort to make this night a success!
