We are sorry to report that the Mercury's annual Highball week (scheduled for March 16-22, where the city's best bars create special $5 craft cocktails just for YOU) has been temporarily postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

While this probably makes perfect sense, we feel it is our obligation to put off Highball until after customers like you can once again safely attend large gatherings. This makes us especially sad since we were hoping that Highball would bring some much needed business to struggling bars and their employees—which is why we are DETERMINED to reschedule and bring Highball back when it is safe to do so.

The various shut-downs in the city will probably get more drastic as time goes by in order to beat back the virus and save lives, but in the meantime, please do whatever you can to help the struggling businesses and employees of Portland. (Such as getting take-out or delivery, buying gift certificates, or simply Venmo-ing a service employee some cash!) They (and your friends at the Mercury) need your help.
