Summary: Could this be the Kings Head? - Don't think so - there are a lot of references to it.
1875 ref implies it's on the West of the river and bridge - which is roughly where the roundabout now is. (Pwllhobi is towards Glanyrafon)
1891 Census suggests it's at one end of Padarn Terrace, probably the village end. Shown on 1888 OS
