Although they call themselves a restaurant, this is more of a large Turkish-themed pub that offers an extensive menu. Expect a lot of meat-oriented dishes, friendly service, relaxed environment and decent prices. They also have ‘Happy Hours’ where you can get a selection of snacks and d [...]

Citypub
A small pub across from the Radisson hotel, Citypub caters mainly to hungry people working in the area, but could just as easily work as an early-evening warm-up spot. Lunch specials from 12:00 to 15:00; hot food and salads all day. [...]

Open 11:00 - 22:00,

It's evident there's a passion for beer culture here, not only its name ‘Drink’ but overall, offering natural beers, a special 'house brew', unusual imports, regular interactive beer lectures and even organic ciders. On a typical evening you'll find a lively bunch of patrons from all over the world; backpackers, travellers, locals and ex-pats all seem to congregate here. Whatever category you might fit into, you’ll be sure to have an enjoyable experience, drinking or otherwise.

Ice Bar
This slick, little bar in the Merchant's House Hotel has one thing going for it that the others don't - shot glasses made out of ice! Let your vodka settle for a few seconds before shooting the chilly stuff down your throat. [...]

Imperial Pub
A little off the beaten track but still not a hike to get to, the Imperial is a cosy, quiet place perfect for large groups or even just a few close friends. With its hearty food, cheap beer and hits from the 80’s streaming quietly through the speakers, this classic pub feels like a warm and f [...]

It works as a nondescript lunch café by day, but at night Island really comes into its own as a popular drinking lounge and warm-up spot for nearby clubs. The real hit seems to be the cocktail happy hour, which happens 20:00 - 24:00 daily. [...]

This quirky little bar shaped like a tunnel and dug into the hill heading up to Toompea is excellent option for a secluded, quiet catch up with friends. Stretched cow skins and fake rose vines along the walls make an odd decorative combination. Try the Karoliina special - h [...]

Harju 6

tel. (+372) 631 05 05

Open 11:00 - 23:00
Students in particular seem to be drawn to this simple, unassuming bar with oversized tables and cheap drinks. Kompressor is also locally famous for its excellent pancakes, which are both cheap and filling. Kitchen closes at 22:00.

Open 11:00 - 01:00
If beer is your passion and you’d rather hang out with locals than expats, you may want to check out the ‘Beer Tower’ cleverly hidden behind some apartment blocks near Stockman. We’re still trying to figure out if it’s the 101 beer varieties, the ominously glowing fish [...]

Sat 11:00 - 04:00,
Sun 12:00 - 22:00.
O'Malleys
Though strewn with off-the-shelf Irish décor, O'Malleys' character seems mostly derived from its high-traffic location at the foot of Viru tänav. It's often packed by a transient, motley crowd of tourists and locals, many drawn in by the karaoke or sports events shown on the large-screen TV. [...]

This is a fairly standard, English-style hotel pub conveniently located next to the Viru Shopping Centre, within stumbling distance from Old Town. The menu is limited to pub snacks, but who cares when you’ve only come here to drink? There’s also a large screen TV so you don’t miss [...]

St. Patrick's
The name and décor may be Irish, but the crowds in each of Tallinn's four St. Patrick's pubs are just about as Estonian as they come. The one here on Suur-Karja is the most famous, cleverly built into a spacious, medieval hall. All offer decent, cheap food, and every fourth Saku Originaal is a [...]

Open 11:00 - 02:00,

Also at: D-2, Vana-Posti 7, tel. 631 48 01. Open 11:00 - 02:00, Fri-Sat 11:00 - 04:00
You need to offer something special if you expect people to climb three flights of stairs for a drink or something to eat. Besides an unusual rural landscape painted on the walls, Talu Kőrts has a pretty average menu and lacks any real atmosphere and probably isn't worth the exercise requi [...]

Fri 11:00 - 23:00,
Sat 11:00 - 23:00.
Beyond the odd name, this fairly non-descript pub's real claim to fame is being open for all night dining and drinking. Main courses are available in the 100kr range. Judging by what we were served though, we recommend you stick to the French fries. [...]

A no-nonsense, classic pub with hints of an Old Tallinn theme. Vana Wiru's ideal, Viru street location that makes it a convenient stopping place for families to hunker down with their drinks. Check out the interesting jukebox selections. [...]

A Russian restaurant by day, this cellar bar has a decent smoking section, a hefty selection of vodka and stays open until the early morn'. We reckon that it will probably do a good amount of business after the other bars shut, especially if they decide to serve food - hint, hint.
