About Us

An Albany Staple since 1971

The building that Washington Tavern inhabits has been an Albany watering hold since before 1900. However, it’s claim to fame started after 1971 when Michael Byron founded and opened Washington Tavern. The Byron family operated it until 2018, when they sold the building and business. The tavern saw a decline in the following years, and officially closed for business following the COVID-19 Pandemic. The building was then purchased by J&J Investments, a renowned residential real estate investment firm.
