Tabac banner

A hospitality institution. 

Once owned by music legends the Finn Brothers back in the 80’s, Tabac still boasts the coolest staff, the best cocktails and attracts the hippest of punters.

In a back alley between Albert and Queen Streets, Tabac’s refit updated and opened up the once confined and dark spaces. The front third of the space is now a covered outdoor area, and the interior update of the private back room and main bar has brought the venue back to life.

Simple, true finishes and colour palette have modernised the space while keeping the original Tabac culture and history.
