emily mcgillFebruary 24, 2015Live music for Sunday brunch, plus delicious food and a damn good Bloody Mary.
Chuong Nguyen-ThanhDecember 18, 2012Been here three times and can't say a bad thing about this place. Check to see if they have the duck breast special when you come in!
Get the fries!!! And their cocktails are pretty swell. Moules frites also yummy.
BravoJanuary 26, 2010Bar Tabac has hands-down the best brunch, as well as the best late night or afternoon snacks, in our neighborhood. -Alex McCord, Real Housewives of New York City
Tony SmithAugust 12, 2011The grilled chicken wrap was amazing! Juicy and flavorful. The grilled hanger steak sandwich was okay but the near was very tender!
M_AlexaDecember 1, 2011Very cute place! Lovely food and great wine selection :)! Get the escargot and sepia tagliatalle- u won't regret it ;)
Amanda KaoJanuary 15, 2014Come on Tuesday nights for some lovely live music from the Blue Vapors of Brooklyn!
ask Tamal to make you an off-menu cocktail of his own creation. The man is a genius.
Daniel McDonoughJune 15, 2014Fun place to watch France World Cup matches. People watching from the sidewalk.
jake furstApril 12, 2011The moules leave something to be desired, but the roasted sea bass was phenomenal. Great outdoor seating and live music Sun-Thurs nights.
The menu's sorta hit or miss. The simple comfort foods are the way to go.
Yummy everything and live music on weekends. A festive and fun brunching experience.
KristineAugust 6, 2011Dog-friendly for outside seating, but if you're a big group (more than three) you'll have trouble sitting outside with a dog.
Konstantinos PsychogiosApril 7, 2015They only accept AmEx. Food was good (I had the salmon burger), environment is a little dark.
Go solo for Sunday brunch and have a sublime band at your back, heaven on your plate.
Ana CamachoNovember 2, 2013Mmmmm baked clams butternut squash soup and Stella on draft.....I think I'm in love!
David CoeFebruary 21, 2012The french toast is amazing - possibly the best french toast I've ever had.
Stephanie SollersSeptember 10, 2011Such a cute spot for brunch! Just know when ordering coffee or a cappuccino they don't have skim milk.
Try the Los Besitos Lucidos - Wow, amazing combination of flavors
Colleen Newvine TebeauDecember 24, 2009Bar Tabac has live music evenings Sunday-Thursday -- I guess on the weekends they want that extra bar space for paying customers.Typical music seems to be old-timey toe-tapping jazz, and I think it
Gina LucianoJanuary 30, 2010One of my favorite Brooklyn spots. Great for Sunday brunch & soccer...also will sometimes clear a few tables after dinner for dancing.
- Try the Nastyfine Dirty Martini - Possibly the best durty durty martini I've ever had #cocktails
Kushal DaveSeptember 9, 2012The jalapeno pomegranate marg is pretty tasty, just a bit of kick, and only 10 bucks.
Chrysanthe TenentesMarch 15, 2012Anywhere that plays a full Fleetwood Mac album is alright by me. Red wine, frite, etc.
Get the Moules Frittes and a Leffe Blonde Ale. Great meal, low price.
Mussels and fries and sit in the back to get the real bistro feel
Ally MillarJanuary 26, 2011If the cassoulet special is on offer, definitely get it. Otherwise, great burger, moules, or minute steak.
