This place is okay but it's too expensive they charged me £1.80 for a can of coke I came in here because my bus was cancelled the locals in the pub were friendly and staff were very nice in this respectable pub

Visited with friends fir pre drinks before cinema. Bad choice!Found the place very unsociable, bar staff rude. Requested to change 3 Coors as tasted not right, barman made such a fuss! Definitely not right! Will not visit again. Seems to prefer "regulars" who are obviously used to bad beer!

Traditional Welsh pub, serving coffee all day perfect for a good catch up with a good friend. Spot on location on the town square with access to the high street and central bus station, friendly staff who are happy to help

Nice pub in Brynmawr town centre just off the main square. Good selection of real ales & ciders served by friendly waiting staff to comply with the COVID rules (Nov 2020). Dogs & children are welcome in the comfortable room near the bar. Will definitely walk to town to support this pub again.

Slovak pub. The barmaid was on her first day so things were not perfect. The menu was restricted because of heavy weekend trade. We had good standard pub fare which was good value for money. Good service. They are doing their best.

We popped in for a pint before going to the cinema. Nice to see an old traditional pub doing well. We got chatting will a local, and were made very welcome. Good pint of real ale. We will go back again in the next few weeks for a meal and to go and see the local Jam Night. On a Sunday evening ever two weeks I believe. I’ve lived all my life in the nearby town but have never been in the Talisman before, but will call in there again. Mike

It's a pub, it sells drinks, and food (which I'm told is nice). All the facilities you need and free WiFi for the youngsters and their gadgets. Nice and clean but still with that nice pub smell. What can I say, its a pub. 👍

Traditional friendly pub in centre of town right next to bus station and in front of taxi parking looking at the Brynmawr Cinema .Good food and a Christmas menu serving real ales in a popular pub.There is a separate restaurant side you can book for private functions with its own bar served by Piere and staff..a regular for us.

Mine Host Pierre is a very amiable guy and is trying very hard to bring something different to this traditional pub in the form Jam nights,book club,Sky Sporting events...Food specials along side his traditional food which includes a stunning pub lunch...

Had sunday lunch here with family ..food was beautiful ..2 things need improving Service was too slow booked table for 12.30 ordered ..waited 40 mins for our starters ( only us there mind ) . then another long drawn out wait for dinner ..same for desert ..in total was there from 12.30 till 3.15 that's how long they took to serve all 3 meals !!!! My daughter in law had no boiled potatoes on her plate ...and not enough veg for two but they were happy to give us more So for us it was the snail pace service that let them down ..for just a family of 6 adults and 3 babies ..and no none else there except us and the fact we booked ..let them down ..

Whilst travelling on my own to this area, I popped in to the Talisman for a drink and sit down. I was given a very warm welcome by Pierre who made me feel at ease instantly. I was included in conversations with local customers and generally made to feel welcome in the area. I would definitely recommend this pub and will be going back, I hope, very soon. Thank you Pierre.

I’ve been coming here for over 30 years since I was in my teens and for me it’s still the best in the borough, the food is head and shoulders above the hundreds of others about, really nice people, no chit chat but welcoming and orders are never missing anything, Id’ve given it 5 stars if they delivered but they never have and I assume never will but superb food

First time ordering a takeaway from here, and it wasn’t a good experience at all. Firstly, we were quoted a delivery time of 45 minutes, but I actually turned into twice as long. 1 1/2 hours! I asked for a vegetarian Jalfrezi, and my partner wanted a chicken dhansak, but when I finally turned up, it was a vegetable Jalfrezi and a vegetable dhansak. Fair to say that she wasn’t impressed with things that’s far. we also ordered onion bhajis, and they were very dry and greasy, giving the impression they have been in the fryer, a couple of times or more I was attracted to this place by all the positive reviews, but after our experience we will be using it again.
