We are an independent pub and cafe bar that celebrates Liverpool’s forgotten Nova Scotia district that was an integral part of Liverpool’s maritime history. The area now known as Mann Island, was until the early part of the 20th Century a shanty town and dock, known as Nova Scotia due to its twinning with the Canadian district. Canada traded with Liverpool in timber used for the huge amount of shipbuilding here at this dock.
As part of this twinning, there's even a Liverpool, Mann Island and River Mersey in Nova Scotia, Canada. Liverpool's Nova Scotia gradually got replaced as the docks developed and shipbuilding moved to Birkenhead with the district largely forgotten ...until now so join us over Magic WKND and enjoy 20% off all food.

The little cafe at the ‘top of the hill’ has been a Liverpool institution for five decades. Established in 1974, in the style of the great bohemian cafes of Europe, Cafe Tabac has always been a hub for the creative residents of Liverpool. Patrons include artists, actors, singers and performers amongst its varied and colourful clientele, as well as many of the city’s best-known sons and daughters.
For many years, Cafe Tabac was presided over by the formidable Rita, who was never shy to tell customers what she thought of them or turf out those who made a cuppa last three hours.
The cafe has continuously traded since the 1970’s (only closing for Covid!) and is now the longest-running cafe bar in Liverpool, still independently owned and passed down through Rita’s family. Cafe Tabac still retains the charm and authenticity that only comes with serving the city of Liverpool for over fifty years. To celebrate Magic WKND in the city, we are offering a half price Guinness with every large breakfast!
