ios bar button item on a table view controller

I am new to ios programming working on my first app. I have a tab bar controller with two tabs A and B. Both tabs are connected to table view controller with some data being shown. I want to add a bar button item on the top left "navigation" bar of the table. This would be a slide bar menu navigation item as shown in figure below enter image description here

However, even though in my storyboard the menu bar button item shows up (as shown in the pic), when I run the program, the table corresponding to tab "A" that gets displayed does not show the menu item.

UPDATE: Solution (see the marked answer and comments) -Basically, you need to embed the table view controller in navigation view controller, set "Top bar" to "Navigation Bar" and then you can add a bar button item.

UPDATE 2 - Setting the top bar to "Navigation Bar" in attributes of the table view controller is optional.

Instead of inserting the bar button in the tab view controller insert it in view controller "A."
