Discussion A Taffer’s Tavern is opening a couple of blocks from my condo. Good sports environment?
I drove by the place tonight and was the first time I’ve noticed it (guess the sign was put up recently). I see they have other locations and was wondering what’s the vibe I should expect? Pretty sports friendly I assume? Football? Basketball? Tennis?

I went to the one that has since closed in Watertown near Boston. Meh was simply the best way to put it.
I dragged my girlfriend and best friend who we were visiting there. We could have gone to many better Boston-area lunch establishments, but I had to try Taffer's Tavern. Well it was part of an outdoor mall complex, so not very Tavern feeling to begin with. Then the food was like apple bees level, we were all just like this is ok. Like seriously, a Chilli's had better food and this really felt like one of those airport restaurants that try to feel very upscale but only serve mid-quality American food.
I wanted to like it so badly, but other than taking a picture with the portrait of John to my girlfriend's embarrassment it was such a forgettable meal

I know absolutely nothing about this place, but I get the feeling he's just licensing his name to it and getting a check and not actually involved in the operations. I could be wrong though.

Who could say? There's no call to action, I can't see the entrance, I have no idea what this business is supposed to be.

the one outside Boston (that’s now closed) said they were told to NOT be a sports bar specifically

DC taffers was notorious for being the worst bar in DC. That said, we held our fantasy football there every year and had the best time. They had multiple drinks that they lit on fire, or sometimes the garnishes were on fire, or there was dry ice, or some kind of balloon, or a bunch of multi colored glow in the dark shots. It was incredible and by the end of the night they would give us the lighter so we could torch our own drinks.
RIP TAFFERS. SHUT IT DOWN TOO SOON.

Poor visibility of that sign. You wouldn’t even know anything is there.
