The Taffy Bar

Walk into The Taffy Bar and you're in the kind of place that doesn't need to try too hard. It sits right on Bethesda Street, the backbone of Merthyr's town centre, and pulls a genuine mix of regulars and newcomers who've heard it's worth a visit. You get the sense this is where people come to actually talk to each other rather than perform for Instagram—the 4.5-star rating from locals tells you everything about how they're doing things right here.
