The Iron Dragon is a characterful and well-established venue located in the heart of Merthyr Tydfil, a thriving Welsh Valleys town approximately 12 miles north of Pontypridd and 24 miles north of Cardiff. Benefiting from excellent rail and bus connections, the site is easily accessible and attracts customers from both the local community and surrounding areas.
Formerly the Welsh Water building, the pub retains plenty of charm and character. The ground floor features a spacious open-plan trading area with a mixture of fixed and loose seating, a dedicated darts zone, and nine TV screens showing live sport from both Sky Sports and TNT Sports.
Upstairs, the versatile function room offers additional trading opportunities, complete with pool and darts facilities, three large sports viewing screens, and seating for around 30 guests.
To the rear, there is a well-presented medium-sized beer garden equipped with outdoor screens and sound, creating an ideal space for customers to relax and enjoy live sport or socialise during the warmer months. A covered area also ensures the outdoor space can be enjoyed year-round.
The private accommodation offers comfortable living space and comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a spacious kitchen/diner. Located within the property, the accommodation provides a practical and convenient home for the operator, with ample space to relax and enjoy a healthy work-life balance.
