The Merlin
To be honest, being a wizard and all, Merlin could probably have created a slightly better bar than this one. Having said that, it's still pretty good. But as it's in Morningside (where uppity folks like JK Rowling live), it's not exactly for the thrifty. With some leather sofas for those who aren't too fond of moving, and some pool tables for those who aren't too fond of sitting, it's a good hang-out for the few cool student-types who hang Morningside-way.
