Summer at The Merc officially starts in June ☀️

Longer days, later nights, cold drinks, live music, patio hangs, and all the random memories that somehow turn into the best nights of summer.

Whether you’re stopping in after work, meeting friends downtown, or just looking for somewhere to spend a summer evening — we’ll be here.

Starting in June, our summer hours officially kick off and we’re ready for another fun season in downtown Flandreau. We’ll be keeping the summer nights going longer — open until 10PM on weekdays and 11PM on weekends.

Keep up with our page all summer long for live music, events, specials, and everything happening at The Merc.

Wednesday night, join us starting at 7PM for a County Commissioner Candidate Meet & Greet. A great chance to hear from the candidates, ask questions, and connect with the community.

Then Saturday night, we’re turning up the summer vibes with The Verbs hitting the stage! And if the weather cooperates… we might just be taking the party out to the patio.

Cold drinks, good people, live music, trivia nights, patio season… summer at The Merc is officially in full swing.
