The Red Lion is a charming, detached double-fronted, stone-built pub situated in the large village of Coedpoeth, Wrexham. Coedpoeth is a former industrial village with historical ties to lead and coal mining, featuring numerous chimney pots from miners' cottages to detached houses. The village has a local school, various restaurants, and shops, and is located just three miles from Wrexham town centre, close to the A483 linking to Chester, the A55, and larger roads such as the M56.
Pub Layout
The pub has great curb appeal with a small grassed beer garden at the front. Inside, it is divided into two main areas, both serviced by a well-stocked bar. The right side is a locals' area with a pool table, darts, jukebox, and relaxed seating for sporting matches. The left side features loose tables and chairs, a log burner, and can be transformed into a dining area. The rear boasts an enclosed beer garden with a decked area, covered for winter, and a grass-effect lower deck that is a suntrap in summer.
Trading Style
The Red Lion exemplifies a community pub with loyal year-round support, featuring televised sports, weekly quizzes, music nights, darts, and pool teams. The underutilised commercial kitchen presents an opportunity for a new licensee to introduce a small food menu to serve the local community.
Accommodation
Private accommodation includes three bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom.
