Taffer’s Tavern

Jon Taffer, Bar Rescue star and award-winning hospitality expert, has launched his own innovative, full-service restaurant franchise concept, Taffer’s Tavern.

“A bar is a bar, but a tavern has soul,” Taffer likes to say.

Located next to Capital One Arena, this location follows Taffer’s Taverns in Alpharetta, Georgia, and at FedEx Field in Maryland. Additional locations are planned for the Atlanta, Boston, Las Vegas and Orlando.

The tavern features signature cocktails, tavern food, a streamlined hoodless/ventless restaurant format with small kitchen footprint, and the latest advances in food preparation technology.

Franchises are also available if you so inclined. The DC location opened Sep. 1, 2022.
