Under new ownership since 2011, and newly refurbished. Restaurant has opened since November 2011. Rooms upstairs are in the process of being renovated and will open sometime in 2012.

Two pubs are to be found in Talybont - next door to each other! First up (alphabetically, in both English and Welsh) is the Black Lion which boasts lovely views over the village green and is a fine old building on the outside. The inside isn't - it's a bit weird; the main bar is plain, spartan and open plan, whereas the small lounge behind it is really nicely done and quite modern, whilst there's a room to the right of the bar that looks like it hasn't seen any paint since the 1950's.

Two ales are available - Hancocks HB and Bass Red Triangle. The Bass was OK but nothing special. The pub seems aimed at a younger(ish) clientèle than the White Lion next door. Food is available at lunchtimes and after 5pm. Darts available, as is a fish tank in the lounge. The quiz machine is willing to pay so get down there with a few mates and rack up some cash - we took £20 away. There's lots of Welsh Rugby Union paraphernalia around the walls and a nice outside seating area to be found. Not a bad place but could be a little better for my money.
