Rugby

WE WILL BE OPEN FOR EVERY RUGBY WORLD CUP RUGBY MATCH!Enought saidLocated in Adams Morgan, Tight Five Pub is your go-to spot for all things sports. Cheer for your favorite team on one of our 16 HDTVs while enjoying delicious American pub fare, cold beers, and hand-crafted cocktails. Join us for nightly specials, game day specials, and regularly scheduled fun and games.Owned by two former rugby players, Tight Five Pub strives to recreate on a daily basis the time-honored rugby tradition of a communal celebration after every match where players and fans from both teams come together to socialize over food or drinks. Come by the pub tonight to cheer for your favorite team, listen to great live music, compete in pub quiz or our monthly spelling bee, eat, drink, and be merry.What is Rugby?“Rugby is a good occasion for keeping thirty bullies far from the center of the city.” - Oscar Wilde"Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen." - Winston Churchill"The pub is as much a part of rugby as is the playing field." - John DickensonActually, its a sport. It was created in England in the 1800s and is one of the fastest growing sports in the world today. It’s a team sport played with 15 players per team on the field at a time (or 7 for another version of the sport). You run with the ball, pass the ball (but only backwards) and kick the ball, with the ultimate goal of touching the ball down when you have passed your opponent’s goal line (its called a try line), all while avoiding being tackled by your opponents. If you don’t know rugby yet, the Tight Five Pub is the perfect place to watch a game and fall in love. Or you can just look it up on Wikipedia, but where’s the fun in that?

Awesome food, great drinks, super fun staff that know their regulars and take care of them. Terminator sauce is the best on the menu if you want lava hot. Tots over the fries all day.Wish they'd turn their lights down past 5pm and the downstairs was open more often. Love that little cave dive bar feel.

It's a collegiate dive bar atmosphere which is wonderful if that's what you're seeking however the drinks prices are far from a college budget. Maybe see if they have a HH but weekend is full-price :(

One of my favorite spots in all of DC. If you're looking for a new spot or somewhere to catch a game, definitely check out Tight Five.

I don't know if they are, indeed, the hottest wings in DC, but they are just about the hottest wing I've ever had! Fun staff, cool vibe, and good beer selection.

It's aimed at specifically a rugby crowd and does it well. Hard to get to, far from metro, bad parking, on a hill so not even easy to bike to. But once you're there, it's a good dive bar for rugby fans.

Awesome local bar with a great community vibe. Recommend the music nights.

This was not bad. Service was good. Wings were okay. Salad was great. We got charged for someone else's tab. I think they got it fixed. I would recommend this place.

Great space, cheap drinks, queer owned, excellent wings (terminator is the best), total hidden gem in Adams Morgan. Typical pub grub, kitchen closes kinda early though. Does a lot of rugby
