[Bar Tabac – Brooklyn Welcome to Bar Tabac!
Six years ago, a litlle frenchplace called Bar Tabac was opening its doors on Smith Street...Set in the heart of Cobble Hill, the hippest part of Brooklyn, this authentic Bistro de Quartier (Bar Tabac is the french version of an Irish Pub... and the only place where you can buy tobacco ib France!) has soon become a favorite hang out: the artfully aged environs, the all-French wine list, the bistro bites and the upbeat, loungey music sets the tone for the stylish crowd that soaks up the fast-paced bistro atmosphere into the wee hours.
As hip as it is old-France, BT offers its excellent fare to the background sounds of live jazz four times a week: the now famous brunches will bring you back to l'ancien temps with bands like the Baby Blue Orchids and the Mad Jazz Hatters to set the tone and guide you along the way...
On tuesdays, Stephane and his Gipsies steal the show, with an incredible mix of flamenco and old jazz tunes that more than often turn into jamming sessions late into the night...Come to Bar Tabac, and the steady French contingent is likely to recognize and greet you with a bonjour and a handshake after a few visits..
