The Red Party at Mercury Lounge: Your November 14 Plan
A 21+ goth and post-punk dance night in Manhattan: the date, door time, posted price and entry checks that matter.
Looking for a late-start Saturday centered on goth and post-punk rather than an early concert? The Red Party is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Mercury Lounge in New York City. This guide covers that specific future date, not another installment of the recurring party. The useful decision is simple: does a 10 p.m., 21+ dance night fit your group, budget and trip home?
The official listing describes a goth and post-punk dance party. Treat that as the musical brief, not a promise of a particular band, DJ set or guest appearance.
The five details to settle first
- When: Saturday, November 14, 2026. The promoter lists 10 p.m.; its event description explicitly says doors open at 10 p.m. All times here are New York local time.
- Where: Mercury Lounge, 217 East Houston Street, New York, NY 10002, in Manhattan.
- Age: This listing is 21+. The venue requires government-issued photo ID or a passport.
- Posted admission: The promoter lists $15 advance and $15 day of show. Check the ticket seller for the actual checkout total rather than treating that posted figure as a guaranteed all-in price.
- Booking: The official event page currently displays a Buy Tickets link to the exact November 14 Ticketmaster listing. That link is not proof of remaining inventory.
Is this the right night for your group?
The strongest reason to choose this party is its goth/post-punk focus and late start. If your group wants that specific dance-night premise, it offers a clear alternative to picking a venue and hoping the music works out. If someone needs an all-ages outing, an early finish or a guaranteed seated evening, make a different plan.
The event listing does not publish an end time or a named guest lineup. Do not build the rest of your night around an assumed finish, a surprise appearance or set times borrowed from a different show. Likewise, no dress code is stated on that listing; an aesthetic is not the same thing as an admission rule.
Plan the door before the dance floor
Bring the ID you will actually use for entry, and have your ticket ready on your phone. Mercury Lounge says it can scan mobile tickets. The venue also describes very limited seating in its live room, so do not make a seat part of the bargain.
For navigation, use 217 East Houston Street, not just the venue name. The venue’s directions identify Second Avenue as an F-train approach; check current transit service and your return route before leaving. A 10 p.m. door time makes that return plan worth settling in advance, especially when friends are traveling in different directions.
If you need step-free access or a particular accommodation, contact the venue before buying. This guide does not verify a step-free route or promise a seating arrangement.
The last check before you pay
Open the official November 14 listing again and confirm the date, Mercury Lounge venue, age restriction and final total. The venue says door sales happen only if a show has not sold out in advance: a posted day-of-show price is not a reservation.
As of November 6, 2026, the promoter is advertising this future date with a ticket link; this guide does not independently confirm live ticket inventory. Schedule changes and cancellation information should be checked through the official event page and your ticket seller. Choose this night if the music brief, 21+ rule and late start all work for you — then book against the exact date.
