Bar Tabac is a comfortable neighborhood bar and cafe situated on a corner of the classy rue Beau-Sèjour. The place is absolutely perfect for reading and working, with an aesthetic that mixes the best features of a light-filled library and a social living room. Bright curtains, nicely-chosen art, large windows, and worn wooden tables create a homey feel. During the evenings the place comes alive, with workers and students from the neighborhood and beyond drinking beer, wine, and coffee. It’s a bit of a surprise that the menu offers dozens of beers and local wines, and, while the food options are limited, they include tasty plates with sandwiches, cheeses, and French sausages. The old fashioned lemonade is quite popular.
On days when there are soccer or rugby matches, this down-to-earth English-style bar, which has gained enormous popularity among Anglophiles and British expats, is packed to the gills. The establishment has a spacious garden and outdoor dining area that evokes a beer garden, and it is well-stocked with beers on tap. The menu is full of items that pair well with a swig of decent beer, but is dominated by burgers. First-timers often return for the house burger specialties, which are cleverly named: The Rolls Royce, Chicken Butterfly Miso, and King Henry IV are ruled by the Great Beefburger.
