- What Makes It Special: NYC's official Lions bar with three-floor viewing experience creates the ultimate destination for displaced Detroit fans in the nation's largest city. The "Lions Den" on third floor provides sanctuary for Michigan transplants who need authentic Lions atmosphere while surrounded by Giants & Jets territory.
- Sports Setup: I’ve been going to Mercury Bar for over 10 years (I think) and it’s a solid Midtown bar for all sports. Three floors provide different viewing experiences with optimal angles from every level, ensuring you never miss a Lions play. I like sitting at the bar on the 1st floor, but to each his own. Multiple HD screens throughout create comprehensive coverage. I haven’t been for a Lion game truthfully but like the sports bar very much.
- Food & Drink: Detroit-style menu items, including authentic Coney dogs and Vernors cocktails, provide a genuine taste of home for displaced fans. Better Made chip selection and Michigan beer options create a Detroit experience that can't be replicated elsewhere in NYC.
- Atmosphere: The Largest Lions fanbase in NYC creates unified Detroit community with game day raffles and weekly gatherings that maintain a connection to the home state. The official NYC Lions Backers Club meetings ensure year-round community beyond just Sunday viewing.
- Special Features: They say Mercury Bar represents the largest Lions community outside Detroit, providing an essential gathering place for displaced Michigan fans who maintain team loyalty despite geographic distance from Motor City. Three-floor viewing experience accommodates different group sizes while Lions Den provides a dedicated space for serious fan viewing with minimal distractions. Michigan craft beer selection and Detroit-style menu items create taste of home, including Vernors cocktails and Better Made chips unavailable elsewhere in Manhattan. WiFi connectivity supports fantasy football and sports betting activities, and the Lions NYC Facebook group maintains year-round community connections with game day raffles and weekly meetups throughout the season.
