About The New Tavern
At 1 Speculation Pl in Washington, The New Tavern is a pub with a programme of live entertainment. Live bands play on some nights, and karaoke and bingo nights give guests a way to take part rather than just listen. Darts, dominos and pool cover the games side for anyone who would rather play than sing. The pub pairs its live acts with its game tables, so a visit can mean listening, singing or playing.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly staff, with several calling them lovely, efficient and welcoming, and one noting that nothing is too much trouble. Close behind is the live entertainment, which diners describe as live bands, karaoke on Sunday, and bingo, darts, dominos and pool, with one saying entertainment starts in the evening on Sundays. The selection of beers, wines and spirits earns a mention as great, and one reviewer calls the beer nice. Several say the atmosphere has been very nice on every visit, and one says all age groups are catered for and that vaping is allowed. One reviewer calls it a rough and ready proper pub. Food gets mixed signals: one reviewer rates it five star, while another says there is no food. A reviewer who gave a middling score still describes the staff as always lovely, and another jokes that the pub keeps taking their money but the staff are lovely.
