The Mercury Ballroom Supper Club

AS SOON AS YOU ENTER THE BALLROOM YOU’LL FEEL AS IF YOU’RE IN A 1940’S MOVIE MUSICAL!

Our VENUE is ROCKWOOD CLUBHOUSE, a gorgeous, historic club-lodge in Santa Barbara, CA. Featuring a big stage with bandstands for the 20 piece jazz orchestra, grand piano, ballroom floor for the professional show (and your own dancing later),a cash bar for fun retro cocktails, pretty showgirls, coat check, Fred & Ginger type sets, lighting, and costumes, a separate living room with fireplace, and many other dandy surprises – you’ll be delighted and entertained at every turn.

SEATING: Only 200 guests per night. Twenty beautiful tables are set, there is no assigned seating (unless you reserved a table for 7 to 10 guests). All views are excellent, and if you wish to sit by yourselves and there is a table unsold, go ahead! Sit with friends you see there, or make new ones.

Your FULL EXPERIENCE TICKET includes your First Cocktail (or soft drink) followed by our Professional Floor Show, then a full Yummy Dinner, dessert, coffee, and virgin Bee’s Knees, dance Movie projection on walls, gorgeous guy or gal inviting you to dance, an hour and 45 minutes of the phenomenal Blue Notes Jazz Orchestra for you to Listen or Dance to, Parking and Coat Check – all included!(After the Floor Show, the cash bar opens for the rest of the evening.)

The CABARET FLOOR SHOW consists of Emcee Nathan Madden (Broadway dancer/singer), an Andrews Sisters tribute, Lindy Hop number, tap dance duo, song crooners, radio show break, tribute to war Veterans, ballroom couple, and MORE!

The BLUE NOTE JAZZ ORCHESTRA from LA County is KNOWN for their incomparable style and professionalism. They have been flown all over the world to perform, including backing well-known musicians in concert venues. We are bringing 20 musicians plus bandleader, and are THRILLED to have them in The Mercury Ballroom for you!

IF YOU NABBED ONE OF THE VERY FEW “DANCE ONLY” TICKETS, YOU WILL ENTER AT 8:30PM FOR DANCING UNTIL 10PM (for Sunday matinee on Feb. 16th, dance only ticket holders will enter at 4:30pm.) Expect to see experienced ballroom and swing dancers from Los Angeles join the dance floor!

MENU OPTIONS: Whilst Pete Clements Catering is whipping up a delicious traditional Thanksgiving dinner, you may replace the special smoked turkey (flown from East Texas)with a broccoli mac & cheese for Vegetarians. Both the side dishes and desserts have the option of ones made with cow milk, OR almond milk. Every item except the Parker House Rolls are GLUTEN free!

DRESS CODE! Yep, it’s Santa Barbara, but please observe – formal, semi formal, business suits, cocktail dresses, vintage costumes – all grand! We will sadly turn away any guest in blue jeans, beach wear, tee shirts, tennis shoes, and the like. It’s the 1940’s, so futuristic telephonic instruments, and things that take photos and record moving pictures, are also unappreciated in The Mercury Ballroom.
