A popular traditional pub in the centre of Merthyr Tydfil. Copper topped tables and a coal fire in the winter months make for a cosy atmosphere. Very reasonably priced draught Rhymney beers, with mini-kegs, gift sets and other brewery merchandise available for sale. Quiet ambience at times when the Sports TV and jukebox are taking a rest. Children not admitted.
