Birmingham, UK – 31st May 2024 – Merlin’s, an innovative new venue, by horror loving couple Martin Fox and Ella Tuta, that seamlessly blends the worlds of fantasy and horror, is set to open its doors in the heart of Birmingham City Centre in just eight weeks. This eagerly anticipated launch promises to offer a spine-tingling experience like no other, captivating guests with its unique atmosphere and exceptional offerings.

The ground floor café and restaurant will serve an array of unique dishes from its own Hell’s Kitchen, catering to families and individuals alike. Upstairs, the first-floor bar and cocktail lounge will offer a devilish dash of theatre and bewitched fog filled atmosphere for adults, becoming an over-18s only space after 6 PM with played and live music until 2 AM on Fridays and Saturdays.

“Merlin’s is more than just a place to eat and drink; it’s a spine-tingling experience that will leave you wanting more”

Martin Fox, Founder and Director of Merlin’s.

Martin continues “We wanted to create a venue that transports our guests into a world of fantasy and horror, where every visit is filled with excitement and intrigue. From our unique themed menu offerings to our creatively chilling themed décor, every detail at Merlin’s has been carefully crafted to provide a positively horrifying experience.”
