I went into Café Tarifa last Sunday evening with some friends for one of their weekly Cult Film and Cocktail nights. The bar itself is a beautiful Moroccan styled place, with a nicely intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Cocktails are around the £5-6 region, well mixed by the friendly staff. The film itself, Back To The Future, started around 8:30pm in the top section of the bar. The projection was perfectly watchable, getting better as the evening wore on and the late evening sunshine pouring through the lower windows diminished. The audience seemed to be a good mix of people who had come explicitly to see the film and those who had popped in for a drink and been distracted by a little bit of 1980’s time-travel. Overall, a great little bar and an interesting place to catch a classic film. Although be warned the best seats for seeing the screen were gone by 8, so showing up early would be a good idea if you’re going for the film. Mepheisto, 01/06/10 Discovered this place by chance, when meeting a friend supposedly in another local 'tapas' bar, which was rammed with people - so we dived in here. What a lovely, relaxing garden - they have worked wonders.. and as for the Mohitos, they are the best I've ever had. When I came back with my husband another night, he loved the peach bellinis and thought the bar staff were very professional (he mixes a mean cocktail himself). The little chairs in the garden might not be suitable if you are over 5' but as I am not much, they suited me. Inside, it's a bit dark and difficult to see - but no doubt this will come into its own in the winter months, when the lights are on. We are planning to try the Sunday brunch over August BH weekend, so will review food too then. Suze, 21/08/09
