The Merlin

Head down to Morningside and you'll find The Merlin doing what it does best — being exactly the kind of pub you want when you fancy a pint without any faffing about. It's that reliable sort of place where regulars know the bar staff's names and you can nurse a drink without someone trying to sell you a £15 cocktail. The vibe is straightforwardly welcoming, the kind of spot where you'll find everyone from students to pensioners, all just getting on with their evening. You're not paying over the odds, and you're not pretending to enjoy something you don't.
