| What can one say other than this is one of the least distinguished of the "Spoons offerings. It is slightly unusual in that it features a 70's brown exterior. The only really good thing was the attractive bespectacled blonde with super legs standing outside with her smoking mates on a hen night. Sadly, she will probably not be there if you visit but, sadly, the pub will be. On a positive note it did offer the best range of ales in Merthyr and was certainly cleaner that all other locals.

| Merthyr town, nowadays, has no decent pubs at all. For a town that once boasted more pubs per head of population than practically anywhere, the place is a shadow of its former self. "Y Dic Penderyn" occupies a corner plot opposite the rotting Town Hall. It was formerly some sort of low grade commercial premises built in the 1960s. Not your actual historic Merthyr pub (almost all of these have been demolished or have changed use). Barman (bar-boy more like) poured my Guinness in one fell swoop and when it settled left about 2 inches of head. I offered to 'take a sip' for a top up, but he had no idea what I meant. The Guinness was terrible. God forbid you would try any ales in there. The regulars were mostly on cans and bottles - RTDs (Ready to Drink) in the trade speak. Dire. But not the worst pub in Merthyr. You have to dig deep to go there. griffo59 - 8 Aug 2009 19:16 |
| Ah,Merthyr,one of the poorest areas in the UK.However,the 99p offer does not exist here.You pay �1.49 for a very iffy pint of GK IPA.The real ale is often of dubious quality.To cap it all,some of the old regulars were criticising Cardiff pubs for putting 50p on the price of a pint on big match days!

| Good lad who served me said their beer selection was poor that evening and if i wanted a decent pint to go to "the winchester" down the road which was owned by Rhymney Brewery, so a 7/10 4 the honesty!! fat_beer_badger - 21 Jan 2008 16:25 |
