Mercy Tavern

About

Mercy Tavern is a neighborhood gastropub in Salem that serves locally sourced, sustainably produced food and drink and carries on a long live music tradition. The name reflects the owners’ view of mercy as a beautiful, powerful, even revolutionary idea, a sign of strength rather than weakness, and that belief drives the restaurant’s commitment to community and sustainability. The goal is to be the best neighborhood restaurant and bar in Salem.

Music is a large part of the experience. Mercy Tavern has inherited what it calls the longest and most storied live music tradition in Salem and is proud to keep it going. The staff emphasizes exceptional service and looking out for one another as well as guests, with fun, friendship and community at the center of the place. The owners hope the tavern draws people together for some common good.
