A brilliant place to go for a drink and a meal. The atmosphere was lovely, the food well priced and large portioned. Would thoroughly recommend it.
If you order the large fish and chips you will struggle to finish it, regular is big enough. Great freshly cooked food, friendly staff and good atmosphere for family meals or a few drinks at the bar.
If it's a coffee, pint or food, The Merlin is a great place to relax with friends. Dined there a few times, had issues once, it was rectified immediately. The issue was only due to running out of breakfast items. Yes, you may have to wait, but hey, what's the hurry. It's a nice pub, located in a great location to watch the world go by.
I enjoyed this pub/restaurant. Nice chill atmosphere. The food was yummy. I had the mushroom chili with cilantro lime rice and corn ribs for the first time. All around very delicious! First time visiting Edinburgh, Scotland and really enjoyed.
We can’t speak highly enough of the Merlin in Morningside! ❤️ We host a fortnightly swing dance class here and we love the venue, the staff and the food/drink. The manager Cameron goes above & beyond to make everything is perfect. We were disappointed to see the carnage left after a party last night where a group trashed the ladies loos, left cigarette butts everywhere and generally disrespected the place. Luckily the team cleared it all up for us tonight. Thank you 🙏
I go to this place quite a lot. They offer a great menu with small plates to full dinners and a decent selection of drinks. Good place to watch live sports, and a pub quiz if you fancy it.
Fantastic day at the Merlin with friends today. Service and staff are great and make you feel welcome. The manager Artur has a great attitude and his team were fantastic. Couldn’t do enough for us. We loved the Aussie guys chat, he was great value and the food was excellent. Great sunshine in the beer garden. Dana pours a good Guinness too! What more could we want. Great day overall!
this has been my local for a year now and hopefully for many more as the staff, food and atmosphere are all to high standards. This pub has everything a student could want, loads of Tvs and plenty of sport on, 20% off for students and very welcoming staff. They even supplied me a bar mat for all my barbering equipment to sit on. 10/10
Me and my partner go to the dancing classes they host upstairs. The food, the people that run the pub and the dance instructors that host the classes- are the highlight to our weekend.
The place is worth visiting for the food/service and the classes are out of this world.
Here's to many fun times ahead and more dancing to do!
Great place with lovely staff! We come every two weeks to attend dance classes in the function room and often go for drinks and food here. Staff are always great and up for a chat, prices are very reasonable and the place is clean and has a good atmosphere overall. Would be my first recommendation for eating in Morningside, and having a function.
Fab place to eat & drink & dance.... great staff & vibe. We host our dance classes upstairs Would highly recommend for a night out, food and drink or for a function.
Nice pub with a good atmosphere, definitely a place to visit to watch sport. Unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances the kitchen want available but the food menu seemed quite nice
Decent range of beers with some craft beer options
Arthur and Mark and the Bar staff were amazing they made our experience fantastic ...highly recommend it
