A lively, modern diner vibe makes Mercury Burger and Bar the go-to for playful burgers, tasty shakes, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
"Choose from 14 different burgers at this Corktown staple at the confluence of Michigan and 14th Street across from Roosevelt Park. Many items on the menu pay homage to the city including the Southwest, which features a chorizo slider, candied jalapeño relish, pepper jack cheese, and avocado. Pair it with a boozy Hummer milkshake or poutine tater tots slathered in dark gravy. In the summer, the patio is a lovely secluded spot to sip a beer." - Danny Palumbo
"Two of Detroit’s invented drinks are served at Mercury. The Hummer milkshake is a boozy concoction of rum, coffee liquor, vanilla ice cream, and a swirl of fresh whipped cream, while the Boston Cooler features a Detroit original — Vernor’s ginger ale — in a non-alcoholic ice cream float." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Mercury offers the olive burger, a Michigan tradition dating back to 1923, featuring hand-pressed patties with melted cheddar cheese, served open-faced in a brioche bun, releasing a juicy, savory, briny sensation with each bite." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Choose from 15 different burgers at this Corktown hotspot. Many items on the menu pay homage to the city including the Southwest, which features a chorizo slider, candied jalapeño relish, munster cheese, tortilla strips, avocado, and pickled carrots.

"Classic burger & milkshake place, with a creative menu that includes more unique burgers, hot dogs, and poutine. Locally inspired options include the Southwest Detroit with a chorizo slider or the Topor Burger with Corktown's own "Topors" Hungarian hot peppers." - Michelle & Chris Gerard
