Tabac

Tabac is a chic French-inspired neighbourhood bar located in Kentish Town. Retaining the building’s original facade, you might miss it altogether if you don’t look out for the discreet red tabac sign. The weathered exterior embodies the spirit of French tabac stores, welcoming you into a bohemian and relaxed environment.

Expect exposed brick, comfortable leather booths, and round stools to perch at by the bar. A large mural of the wine-producing regions of France adds to the continental feel. Whether you want to chat to staff at the bar or hide away in a corner, there’s a space here.

Whatever your drink of choice is, Tabac has something for you. Enjoy a classic cocktail or a house concoction – if your favourite isn’t on the list you’re welcome to ask the bartender anyway. There’s a simple choice of house options for wine drinkers or go for prosecco, champagne, or craft beer. An international and sophisticated selection of bar snacks is also on the menu. Expect treats like mini saucisson and truffle and pecorino nuts. All of the menus at Tabac are concise with a focus on delivering quality.

Whether you’re looking for a space to relax alone, a cosy place for a get-together with friends, or a cocktail bar that’s great for a date, Tabac is a local venue for a range of needs. When you simply want somewhere to get your night off to a great start, you can do that here with Happy Hour every day between 4 and 6pm. This shabby-chic venue is a vibrant and relaxed spot with a European feel.
