- Shane's Fish Bar, 84 King St, +44 1495 310129. Shane's Fish Bar is situated at the road above Beaufort Street and is a taste of the Brynmawr lifestyle. It isn't the best in the world but it's a great view into the average Welsh fish and chip shop. It is also managed and owned by the one and only Shane.
- Golden City, 54 Beaufort St, +44 1495 313827. The Golden City is a Chinese takeaway/restaurant run by native Chinese people who have come to Brynmawr. With delicious food, it's a must go for the food lovers, better than many places, the Golden City is just amazing.
- The Talisman, 9 Market Square, +44 1495 312138. The Talisman also being a pub isn't the most ideal place to eat with it also being next to Ladbrokes betting office but is a reasonable place to eat and serves good food with reasonable service. Just another place to eat in Brynmawr.
- Gwesty Bach. Gwesty Bach (Little Hotel in English) is again also a pub but serves reasonable food once again. However the food and drink is quite expensive, though still a good view into the Brynmawr life.
- The Griffin. The Griffin is another pub restaurant near the Market Hall Cinema next to the square. It however only serves Indian cuisine on the upper floor. With the recent draw of crime inside the building, it is not the best place to be but is a reasonable place.
- Firat's Place. The corner kebab house, Firat's Place is an original place to eat. It is not the best kebab house to ever be made but it's got okay food and quick and easy for a cheap kebab
- Munchies. Munchies is a local pizza restaurant and takeaway which is run by a very friendly family who make the pizzas within the warm restaurant. You can eat in or out but still a great pizza of your selection.
