About This Pub

Ah, Tomo's Tavern – it's one of those places that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this fantastic community spirit where the hosts, Tomo and Susan, really go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome, no matter your age. The atmosphere is spot on, with karaoke nights, live music, and sports on the telly keeping things entertaining without ever feeling overwhelming. And let's not forget the drinks – a great range of beers and spirits, with the Guinness stealing the show as the best in the area, all at prices that won't break the bank. It's got pool tables for a bit of friendly competition, and the air con keeps it comfortable even on sticky nights. On the flip side, though, it does seem a bit quiet lately with no fresh reviews, and there's some uncertainty around whether it's fully open or not, which might put a dampener on plans. Plus, sorting out the opening times can be a faff, and their website's playing up, so you'd want to confirm details before popping in. Overall, if you're after a cosy spot for a pint and a chat, it's worth a visit – just keep those potential hiccups in mind for a smoother experience.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff at Tomo's Tavern are absolutely brilliant – they're friendly, witty, and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's got a cracking atmosphere with plenty of entertainment on offer, like karaoke, live music, and sports screenings that keep things lively.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of beers and spirits, and folks rave about the Guinness being the best in Braintree – always a winner for a good pint.
  • Multiple pool tables make it a fun spot for a game or two, perfect for a casual night out with mates.
  • The air conditioning is a nice touch, especially on warmer evenings, keeping everything comfortable without any sticky situations.
Cons
  • There haven't been any reviews in the last six months, which makes me wonder if it's not quite as buzzing lately or if things have quietened down a bit.
  • The operating status shows as closed, which is a bit confusing – it might mean it's temporarily shut or not as reliably open as you'd hope, so it's worth checking before heading over.
  • Their website seems to have some issues with an error popping up, making it tricky to get more info online before you go.
  • The opening hours look a tad inconsistent from what's listed, so you might need to double-check to avoid turning up when it's not serving.

Love coming in here for a few beers. Sue & Tomo make you feel welcome. Always something going on karaoke or live music. Good prices and plenty to choose from. Must admit the Guinness is the best in Braintree
