Live Music — Pubs in Brynmawr

Talisman

9 Market Square, Brynmawr NP23 4AJ

Busy town centre pub popular with the ages and with a strong community spirit. The bar has some comfy sofas and a good atmosphere and a lrage screen for sport, but is maybe not for the faint hearted at the weekend! A smaller lounge is off to one side with service through a hatch in the corridor. A restaurant is upstairs. Conveniently placed by local shops, cinema, market and bus station. Home to Brynmawr Caving Club which holds its monthly meetings here.

Bridgend Inn

8 King Street, Brynmawr NP23 4RE

Comfortable pub close to the Heads of the Valleys road featuring Wychwood Hobgoblin which has a loyal following to become adopted house ale. The split level interior has one bar with a smaller room up a few steps. It's a popular place to eat with many tables given over to dining at peak times where the standard menu is supplemented by weekly specials. A smoking area adjacent to the car park and outdoor patio. The nearest bus stops are on Alma Street just up the road and to the left from the pub.

Buffs

Station Road, Brynmawr NP23 4NA

Clarence

Clarence Street, Brynmawr NP23 4EH

Recently refurbished after a period of closure, but with few interesting features other than an archway which appears to constructed from old railway sleepers. This leads from the front bar into a side bar/dining area. There is also a raised area to the left as you approach the bar. It was under new management at the time of writing (Jan 2016) and the two handpumps had become redundant.
