If you couldn’t make it down to the lair for our Wednesday night ritual, or if you simply drank too many potions and want to experience the heavy metal madness all over again, you’re in luck. The Prince of Darkness demands an encore!

By popular demand, we are bringing the celebration back for a massive, full-weekend takeover on Saturday, July 25th & Sunday, July 26th! 🎸🔥

🎸 THE WEEKEND PROTOCOL
We are throwing open the gates from 12:00 PM (Noon) each day to relive the ultimate tribute to Birmingham’s own icons.

THE SOUNDTRACK: Non-stop, wall-to-wall Ozzy Osbourne & Black Sabbath. We’re talking everything from the doom-laden tracks of 1970 to the high-energy solo stadium anthems.

THE FUEL: Our kitchen is fired up serving legendary burgers, and the bar is locked and loaded with our signature horror cocktails and those new AU Vodka Milkshakes (Strawberry or Vanilla 🍨).

THE TIME: From midday until late, both days.

📍 THE MISSION LOG
WHEN: Saturday 25th & Sunday 26th July, 2026

TIME: Kickoff at 12:00 PM sharp each day!

WHERE: Merlin’s Café Bar, Martineau Place

ENTRY: FREE AS ALWAYS No excuses this time. Dust off your battle jackets, gather your coven, and let’s pay homage to the music that put Brum on the global map.

Tag the mate who missed the last one and tell them they have no excuses now! 👇🖤
