Busy town centre pub popular with all ages and with a strong community spirit. The bar has some comfy sofas and a good atmosphere and a large 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.

Historic Interest

19th century pub linked to Chartist activity in the 1830's. It was then known as the Black Lion Hotel and was owned by Webbs Brewery of Aberbeeg.
