Merlins Rest is part pub, part portal to the old country. With its British Isles menu and massive scotch list, it’s a favorite for the curious and the nostalgic. Folk music nights, cozy nooks, and stories over pints are the norm here. It’s got magic in the walls and warmth in the pour. Quirky, cultured, and built for a session.
