Great place to visit if your a horror film addict. There is also a themed shop with some interesting pieces . Heavy metal playing and tributes to Ozzy Osbourne on the walls. Comfortable seating and order at the bar for food. Toilets ground floor preferable for everyone. Do try the cocktails 🍸 Friendly efficient staff available too. Upstairs another bar with a huge frightening scenery and movie characters .

First visit to Merlins, very helpful staff & comfortable seating. Clean hygienic bathrooms ground floor. Food was good and cocktails too. Upstairs is a horror theme decor bar and seating area. This is macabre based on frightening movie characters . If your a true horror fan you will love this place. Heavy metal music plays throughout. Recommend
