TV’s best-known bartender, Merlin Griffiths, will be returning to The Game Fair in 2025!
Merlin is a renowned bartended and mixologist, best known for this role as the charming bartender on Channel 4’s First Dates. Griffiths has almost 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry. He co-owns the Priory Tavern in Kilburn, and has worked with various high-profile bars and restaurants too. His expertise in crafting cocktails and engaging with customers has made him a beloved figure on our TV screens. Griffiths also shares his knowledge through workshops and media appearances, contributing significantly to the modern cocktail culture.
Merlin will once again be shaking things up at the bar in the VIP Enclosure on Friday and Saturday, showcasing two cocktails created exclusively for the event. Last year in 2024, Merlin created a Rose Garden Spritz with Grapefruit & Pomelo Gin and a non-alcoholic Devil-May-Care featuring SENTIA Red and LYRES Amaretti.
“I really couldn’t pick a better place to be, soaking up the sun, observing the great characters who we meet at The Game Fair and putting together some cocktails and mocktails unique to the event. I can’t wait to see how my very special concoctions go down; you can be sure they’ll be delicious.” Merlin Griffiths
