The Mercury @ MachineWerks is in a really cool space, and theyve got a great selection of drink options. Dont worry if youre not much of a wine connoisseur, theyve also got a really nice selection of beers on tap.

The Bootie Arc that has applied to every single person I know: 1st visit: Creepy, confusing crowd. Weird, but strangely catchy mash-ups.2nd visit: Ridiculously fun time. Really getting into the music!3rd visit: Why does that dude keep screaming into the mic as loud as possible? Must avoid stage/box dancing as eardrums will perforate.4th visit: Get me the F out of here.Wait one year, cycle repeats. The end.

If you are looking for a goth bar this is it. Try checking out the facebook page for open nights, otherwise you will need a member to sign you in.

Safe space to be you, however weird. Members only and their guests except for rare nights

The best thing about this place is that the music is pretty good. Cash only private club. Standard bar prices and above-average door entrance fee for a club that has less than 20 people on a Saturday night. If youre there to dance, youll have no problem finding space on the dance floor. Have a question? Oh well. No phone number, no email, no way to message them on Facebook & no one responds to questions posted on the event page.

Still my favorite club in Seattle, and likely always will be. Member since the year they opened.

Ive been a member here for years, and its my home away from home when Im on cap hill. I miss the brief, heavenly interlude when they allowed smoking pot indoors on certain nights (this lasted for a short time immediately following legalization here in WA; weed was no longer illegal but hadnt been subject to the precise level of legal circumscription and delineation that took hold as loopholes were closed and restrictions were defined); being a smoker of herbs and a dry alcoholic, that made my nights there more relaxed, even if the dancing was slightly less energetic.

I love this place! My friends and I make the trip up from Olympia because its the best goth bar for miles around. They have some great events, and weve found people easy to talk to. Keep an eye out for the membership drives once or twice a year on their Facebook page - pretty much impossible to get a membership if you live outside of the city otherwise.

This place is like me second home. I have never felt more welcome and accepted in an establishment. The drinks are great, the music is fun to dance to (if you like goth music), and the people are wonderful.

Goth club with themed nights and strong drinks. Its a great place with a friendly, albeit dark, atmosphere. Theres a nice sized dance floor, two bars, and a back room with pool that is a bit quieter.Cash only!Everyone​ here is volunteer so make sure to tip well.

Been a member since 1997 at its previous location. I love both. It is largely one of the safest clubs in town precisely because it is private and geared not only for the dark music scene but towards those who do not fear diversity. In fact the only freak flag not tolerated is violence and sexual non consensual aggression. Clothing is optional. ;) Alas the club may be due to get more millennial DJs in the booth.

Nice private venue, well priced strong drinks, cash only. It is a little cliquey though, its advised that you make at least one friend right away, someone whos not too popular (because that might not be the person you want to know, FYI). There are some slow nights, but theyre not an accurate representation of the clubs event nights (some nights simply clash with other events.) Do not rely on event pages to get answers; contact the promoters directly, or Mike Gray who is the Manager.The staff is definitely close like family, from what Ive observed.It takes a while to make friends here unless youre a social butterfly- There are strict rules here about respecting others space, and it provides a safe environment. Please do not hesitate to report any foul play to Security or the management, this way we can all help the club maintain its high standards.

Best goth club in town. Members and guests only, and no jeans or sportswear, because it is a spooky club

Best place to go if youre part of the goth scene in any way, even casually. Good music and people are friendly and watch out for each other. Members only on Friday, Saturday, and Tuesday

Semi-private goth club. Bartenders are volunteering, and prices are great, so tip even if all they do is pop a bottle cap.

The Mercury has been a part of my life every since I used to come and visit Seattle, when I was living in Reno and I have always loved coming here. It is a private club and there are all sorts of perks because of that fact--I have even had art shows here, love the spirit and the goth and industrial sensibilities--remember that the staff is volunteer--so remember to leave a good tip!

Wouldnt let one of our group in because he was wearing denim. While this is a club rule, it was part of a Halloween costume and was not posted on their costume party site, bad experience.
