Venue review

The musician's read

Merlin's Bar & Grill is a Whistler Blackcomb slope-side venue built around après entertainment and live music. Rock, pop, covers and acoustic acts fit the 21+ resort crowd, where performers need immediate energy and familiar material after a day on the mountain. Bands that can turn après into a party should thrive.
