Denver, COBest National Nod to a Local Institution
Marilyn Megenity's Mercury Cafe is a Colorado institution, beloved both inside and outside of this state. It's also a no-brainer for a left-leaning catalogue of American collectives, co-ops, eco-conscious and alternative businesses, think tanks, coffee houses, favorite leftist anthems and restaurants for locavores, but we were still happy to see that The Nation Guide to the Nation mentions Denver's long-lived, free-thinking hippie outpost not once, but twice. Lauded for its rooftop windmills, organic fare and alternative politics, this Mercury is still rising.

If you've never been, it is one of the coolest things to watch. Order some sort of organic crazy tea and enjoy hearing the most bizarre stuff from local Denverites. I love that it attracts young and old.

The Mercury has great food and a fun atmosphere. Get the 'Light Tea' it's a little bit of everything in one meal.

The atmosphere is right. The entertainment is always interesting. If you eat meat the food is great, however, if you're vegan or vegetarian the food is typical of what you might expect a sports bar to interpret to be - a tortilla wrapped around some carrots & vegetables. The desserts are awesome with their great menu of coffee and drinks... probably one of the last surviving independent cultural hubs of LoDo. Unfortunately the affluent & influential do frequent the place, however, the overwhelmingly warm atmosphere humbles their presence.
