Washington Tavern is a beloved college bar that recently reopened, offering a great experience with delicious food and a wide selection of cocktails and beers. Since re-opening, new owner Ben has made it the go-to spot for anyone in Albany looking for a fun night out with friends. The bar features brand new pool tables, touch-tunes, and an extremely friendly and welcoming staff; in a city filled with unkempt and overhyped bars, WT stands out as a diamond in a haystack. The menu is small but perfect in its simplicity, with popular items like wings, sweet potato tots with chipotle aioli, and tacos that are described as an absolute banger. The loaded fries are highly recommended, and the smash burger is also a favorite, sometimes with extra patties. The atmosphere is friendly, the service attentive, and the music is at a nice background volume that allows for conversation. The bathrooms are clean and equipped with real paper towels. There are ample parking options, and the bar offers fair prices and a decent beer selection. Overall, Washington Tavern provides a positive experience for those looking for tasty food, good drinks, and a welcoming environment.
