Top Hat & Tails

Top Hat & Tails opened on Northumberland Place in Teignmouth in February 2026, a speakeasy-style cocktail lounge and bistro built around the glamour of the 1920s rather than the seaside-pub look of most of the town's other bars. The décor and drink presentation are both considered down to the detail, and the atmosphere reviewers describe is relaxed and buzzing rather than stiff or overly formal for the theme.

Cocktails are the main draw, expertly mixed and clearly the focus of the operation, and the bar also serves a Salamander Brewing beer named after the venue itself, alongside the wider bistro food offering. Private hire is available year-round for anyone wanting the space for an event. For a bar that's only been open a matter of months, it's already built a genuinely loyal following in Teignmouth, helped by an active social media presence and a look that stands out from anything else on the seafront. It suits an evening out rather than a quick pint - the kind of place you dress up a little for.
