TAbar

Visiting experience -2024

The Bar part of TAbar is downstairs, a place for spending free time, school time and work time, for refreshments while walking along the embankment, for meeting friends, for a glass of natural wine, for those who are peckish, for a ton of flavour, for holding hands in a corner or reading books from the Rog library, for watching the hustle and bustle of street life, for a quick lunch or a long evening.

By moving from Ribji trg to Petkovškovo nabrežje to Center Rog, TaBar got more and more diverse space, and chef Jakob Pintar got even more opportunities for creativity. TAbar was divided by floor and name, downstairs is Bar and upstairs is TA.

Popcorn, seductively coated with bacon, for an introductory crunch with an aperitif on the promenade of Petkovškovo nabrežje.

Tabarsi

TaBar was born from the idea of ​​Slovenian tapas. Spanish tapas accompany the wine, but Pintar’s tabarsi are more ambitious, so the wine accompanies them.
