I have often spied the Newmarket Tavern on trips up Racecourse Rd on our semi-monthly dumpling night at nearby I Love Dumplings, but I have always written it off as a dodgy pokies room that might have a bar attached.

Imagine my surprise to hear that, not only is there a bar and a bistro attached to the Newmarket, but they have seemingly taken a cue from the nearby Sporting Globe and gone full sports bar with the place, mounting so many TVs across the walls (and over the urinals) that you'd struggle to look in a direction in which you can't see a sporting competition of some kind.
