Mercantile Bar on Dame Street

Big Gerry

Anyone know what is happening with Mercantile Bar on Dame Street.

Are they closed for good or are they going to reopen ?

Redeveloping and extending the hotel to Ricks burger joint next door and adding extra floors I believe.

Id imagine its at least a year off, hadn't changed must externally when I walked past a week ago.

Is quite a big construction job as the hotel room capacity is almost quadrupled in size:

I never tried Ricks. I always assumed it must be bad (i.e. a place to eat when drunk like Abrakebra) since it was always empty when I looked in during the day.

It was standard enough burgers, a cheaper, poorer version of old eddie rockets. They were great at 4 in the morning though
