You can't miss The Merlin on Morningside Road. It's a very popular pub with a wide variety of people. You'll find all ages and walks of life represented here, attracted by the comfortable, functional layout, and the very reasonable prices. If a big sporting event, like a football match, is on then it will be shown on the TVs throughout, sometimes more than one match at a time. There is also outside seating, both front and back, if the weather permits. What The Merlin lacks in style, it makes up for in atmosphere, with a bustling crowd of customers and friendly, chatty staff behind the bar.
