John Criswick, owner of Ottawa's Mercury Lounge, stands outside the bar and music venue on July 31, 2022. Criswick has officially decided to shut the venue down after more than two decades in Ottawa's ByWard Market.
But it was never able to fully recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, said John Criswick, who ran it as a not-for-profit and announced its closure late last week. In his Facebook post, Criswick said Mercury Lounge had "fundamentally" closed after the first COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020, with the news now being made official.Poet and singer-songwriter Mehdi Cayenne said its closure left him "at a loss for words."
Dominique Labelle, co-chair of the ByWard Market BIA, says losing the Mercury Lounge was a "tough blow."Musicians remember local venues that shaped their careers: The 2000s
UnpopularOppinion - Just maybe, MyLowertown didn’t need another nighttime only, adult only, alcohol venue? Every single door now on Clarence Street sells booze or cannabis to adults at night. Doesn’t every neighbourhood deserve a diversity of uses? (I’ll turn off replies now!)

Do you think that perhaps running the mercury lounge as a 'non profit' might have something to do with its closure ?

Even in inflated market, Blue Jays can't afford to pass up trade opportunitiesOne year and one day from Jose Berrios' trade to the Toronto Blue Jays, he was driving his team to a 12th victory in 15 outings. The market has inflated since that acquisition, but there's a prime opportunity for the Blue Jays to strike. ShiDavidi agreed, thankfully we have a new manager to keep our bats going ShiDavidi If you were absolutely pissed that two top prospects were traded last year, you are going to be super pissed this year. Prices are incredibly high for even fringe players. The 2 WC spots created 19 buying teams. But the Jays will add 4 guys by deadline, just gonna cost a lot. ShiDavidi This 👀 like a dud trade deadline for the Bluejays… unless a Blockbuster is in the works…
