Bar Tabac Closed (For Now At Least)
A reader noticed Cobble Hill’s popular French Bistro Bar Tabac has been shuttered for operating without a license.

A reader noticed Cobble Hill’s popular French Bistro Bar Tabac has been shuttered for operating without a license. There was a sign up on the gate yesterday confirming this from the Department of Consumer Affairs, and another sign up by Bar Tabac that read, “We will be closed for terrace renovations from Monday August 21st to Wednesday August 23rd.” Our guess is the license issues have something to do with its sidewalk cafe.

Like DIBS, I’ve never understood the negative comments about Bar Tabac. I’ve always had decent meals there. The burgers are excellent.
boooooooooooooo
Never been able to understand the crowds at this place and the other similarly nothing special place further down Smith Street when the much better Sue Perette is usually mostly empty
boerum,
only in recent years and especially on this blog have I seen Boerum Hill creeping up to court st. and cobble hill shrinking.
Well, for starters its one block east of where Boerum Place terminates.
I’ve seen a lot of superior nabe creep (the Heights below Atlantic is a fav), but I’ve never seen anyone try to claim Smith is Cobble.
Nyguy:
There is no consensus regarding the border between Boerum and Cobble Hill. I’ve seen multiple borders that zig-zag. Some places use Smith, some use Court, and some use both–e.g. Smith between Atlantic and Wyckoff, then Court.
Isn’t this in Boerum Hill?
I knew Pete would be a complainer about this place. personally, I like it. Food has always been good.
That would be crazy if they have been operating as a sidewalk cafe without a license for all these years. I mean I have been eating there on the sidewalk for 10 years. Love that place. Wonder what the story is…
