The 9 Best Happy Hours In London

"50% off between 4pm and 6pm every day A moody little bar in Kentish Town, Tabac is the kind of place that screams third date potential. As well as exposed brick, a faux fireplace, and artisan cheese platters, Tabac also has an excellent daily Happy Hour. Running out of work at 4pm for a half-price glass of merlot might not be your style, but the weekend is when that 50% off really comes in handy. The cocktails are seriously good and paying five quid for their excellent Negroni on a Saturday afternoon makes total sense to us. It’s one of the best in London." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna

The Best Negronis In London

"Tabac is a moody little neighbourhood bar that everyone should know about but thankfully for our last-minute negroni needs, not everyone does. With exposed brick walls, a faux fireplace, and artisan cheese platters, this Kentish Town bar is low-key serving perfect no-nonsense negronis. Zero funny business, zero stress—just gin, Campari, vermouth, a sliver of orange peel, and a full glass of ice doing what they do best. The negroni is served in one of those ornate low-ball glasses that make you feel like you definitely finished reading that Marcel Proust novel and the intimate setting makes it our favourite spot for a negroni-fuelled date night. " - heidi lauth beasley, daisy meager

Tabac Review - Kentish Town - London - The Infatuation

"A moody little date bar in Kentish Town, Tabac is the kind of place that screams big third date potential. As well as exposed brick, a faux fireplace, and artisan cheese platters, Tabac is also serving top drink deals with their daily happy hour. Although running off from work at 4pm for a half-price glass of merlot is a bit of a stretch, the weekend is when that 50% really comes in handy. The cocktails here are seriously good and paying five quid for an excellent margarita on a Saturday afternoon makes total sense to us. Don’t skip their spicy cognac and rum ‘Holywater’ cocktail either. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Heidi Lauth Beasley

Great drinks and service. Cozy atmosphere of a local neighborhood bar. Cocktails are a bit old-fashioned, but that’s what would you expect from this kind of bar. And gosh, such a nice music choice! I was shazaming every other song.

I came with my family and had a great time. The atmosphere and drinks were great. I asked the barman to make a mystery mocktail of his choice (I don't drink alcohol) and each time I was delightfully surprised. A cosy space for drinks <3

Favourite bar in all of north London. Intimate and personal place to get a drink where the decor is chic and atmosphere is inviting. Not only do the drinks each have a unique taste but the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. Jay and Anoushka make the place extra special.

Absolutely amazing bar, truly a hidden gem! I go here all the time because the drinks are brilliant every time and the place has a great atmosphere. The staff are really nice to talk to; Jay and Stef have been there the longest and they are fantastic, really professional but approachable. The female bar staff, Hazel and Anoushka, are really fun and brilliant at what they do too! Can't recommend this place enough.

Great cocktails. Very disappointed that there opening hours are clearly stated on the shutter but unfortunately I have came to this place 3 times in last month and it closed 1hr before there actual closing time.

Excellent little cocktail bar in a cosy, sophisticated setting that, as someone who has been to France at least twice, I would describe as authentically French. The menu rotates regularly with new, creative and delicious cocktails alongside a list of classics. They also have a Happy Hour 4-6pm. The snacks are relatively small and simple but it's an excellent place for a drink or 7.

I was having drinks with friends on a Saturday when they suggested we go to Tabac Bar for their happy hour from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. We arrived and found a table for our group and Sally quickly greeted us. Luckily a larger table opened up so we moved tables since a 5th person was going to be joining us. Our first round of drinks was great which were Espresso Martinis, Vodka Martini, and a Negroni. When I ordered my second drink of tequila soda with an orange slice they squeezed a lot of lime into it and forgot the orange slice. My friends knew I was not liking my drink and offered to say something to have it remade. Knowing my friends were regulars here I didn't want to say anything and said I would ask for the next one without the lime. After that my drinks were the way I like them. At one point we were informed the table we were at had been reserved and asked us to move. We gladly moved and noticed the time was meeting the end of happy hour. When Sally came back to our table at 5:50 we asked if we could order another round on happy hour. She said that we could order another round for happy hour. A moment or two later the manager came to our table telling us that we could not get happy hour pricing and asked if we wanted to order still. At this point we said fine but after a bit of discussion amongst the group we decided to go elsewhere. This is when they lost their 5 star rating. I went to the bar to ask if our drinks had been made and the manager told me no. I then asked if we could cancel the order and pay our bill. The manager then tried to justify his decision of ending happy hour early and I said we asked our server and told we could still order happy hour. He then said it was only her third shift and didn't know. He then said he recognized my friends as regulars and would have given them happy hour had I not been there but it was selfish and inconsiderate of me to think I could order happy hour during the happy hour time. He said if he allowed us to order before happy hour ended. I wasn't going to say anything out of respect for my friends but the manager wouldn't let it go, I just wanted to pay and leave. After I paid we thanked Sally and left. As we were around the corner and walking to our next happy hour spot the manager appeared behind us and again tried to justify his decision. Like why did he have to chase us down the street? We had already paid and left. He then tried to tell my friends the same thing that it was selfish and unfair of me to ask for happy hour during happy hour. And again their server had already confirmed it was still happy hour!

The cocktails were lovely but as a tourist (Irish), I didn't feel welcome. The bartender was rude to us and we were upcharged for our drinks. I'm assuming it was some sort of service charge but we weren't made aware of it. It's ironic because the service was minimal. I liked the interior of the bar, it's exactly the sort of place I love but unfortunately I wouldn't go back.
