"There are bars you go to.
And then there's TicTic."

It's hard to describe what makes it different without just telling you to go and see for yourself. But I'll try because that's exactly what this page is for.

Sometimes words on a screen aren't enough. Here's a short video of me talking about TicTic; what it is, what makes it special, and why I think you should go.

FOR WHO

This place is for you if...

🎥 You love cinema

Not the kind of cinema where you sit in a cold multiplex watching whatever came out this weekend. The kind where the film actually means something, where it was chosen because someone thought it was worth your time. At TicTic, the films playing on that screen were handpicked with real taste and genuine love for the craft. You sink into a deep sofa, drink in hand, warm light above you, and something genuinely good starts playing. If film is something you feel rather than just watch, you'll understand immediately why this place exists.

🎶 You love music

There are shelves of vinyl records line the walls. Bruce Springsteen, Songhoy Blues, Belle & Sebastian, Basement Jaxx, and more. This isn't a decorative collection. These are records chosen by someone who caring deeply about music, and that passion carries into every night at TicTic. A carefully curated playlist that makes the sound always fits the room perfectly. It never competes with the atmosphere, it is the atmosphere. If you're the kind of person who enjoys music and appreciates the artistry behind it, you'll feel at home here.

✒️You love artistic expression

Forget the kind of bar that hangs a few prints on the wall and calls it decorated. At TicTic, art covers every surface. Paintings, music posters, framed photographs, tie-dye flags on the ceiling, peace signs, rainbow lights cutting across the room. The art room alone is worth the visit. It's chaotic in the best possible way; loud, colourful, full of references that reward slow looking. If you're someone who stops to actually look at art rather than walking past it, this space was made for you.
