15/02/2026: Here's the updated review, including a mention of Davide and his recommendation: A Messina hotspot for craft beer lovers and evenings with friends. I spent a wonderful evening at Birroteca Mercury with a group of friends, and I can say it's one of those places you'll want to return to. The atmosphere is welcoming, informal, yet refined, perfect for sharing a dinner with friends, accompanied by excellent beer and quality food. We started with various fried foods: truly excellent, crispy, and well-prepared. The potatoes with bacon and cheese deserve a special mention: rich and flavorful, perfect with a good beer. The menu is varied and well-thought out, with many options including piadinas, delicious dishes, and desserts, all carefully prepared. Special praise goes to Davide, who with expertise and passion recommended the Craunberry: his recommendation was so convincing that half the table decided to order it, leaving completely satisfied. A concrete example of how service can make a difference. Congratulations for your professionalism and ability to guide you through your choices. I personally tried an IPA, fragrant and well-balanced, and a splendid Chimay blonde, perfectly served, chilled, and beautifully presented in its glass. The beer culture and the careful selection of labels are clearly evident. The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive, helping to create a relaxed and authentic atmosphere. Mercury is much more than a beer bar: it's a place where a passion for beer intertwines with conviviality and the pleasure of being together. An absolutely positive experience, which I recommend to anyone who wants to drink well and spend a wonderful evening with friends. I will definitely be back.
