Nightlife in Tallinn
Estonia City breaks: nightlife essential guide
The majority of Tallinn’s best nightlife activity is contained in the area in and around the compact Old Town. As the trendy bars and popular clubs are all clustered in close vicinity, it makes it possible for Estonia weekend break clients to visit many venues throughout the night. Although Estonia has become a popular destination for stag weekends, don’t read too much into the media that tries to portray that Tallinn is over-run with men celebrating their last nights of freedom. The capital is by no means over run with stag weekends, so don’t be deterred by false images. Book with the Baltic States holiday experts.

Tallinn Nightlife Guide: Bars and pubs are typically open until at least midnight on weeknights and later on the weekends. The more popular Old Town pubs will stay open until the last client leaves. A pint of local brew, Saku Originaal and A. le Coq Premium are the two local favourites and cost around £1 to £1.50. If you’re looking for a more cozy home-like drink, then we recommend that you try a traditional Estonian Pub. Karja Kelder is a quality earthy pub, which serves cheap beer and good food. It’s very popular amongst the locals and makes for interesting surroundings for city break tourists. Molly Mallone's is a big Irish pub on the Town Hall Square and is a popular meeting spot for just about everybody and is the one place in town where you’re pretty much guaranteed to find a crowd any night of the week. Tallinn Stag nights, students, locals all seem to get together in this pub and mix with ease. A place worth mentioning just for its classical and stylish interior is Scotland Yard and is a good place to drink and enjoy some well priced food. One hot spot venue which always seems to have atmosphere is Nimeta Baar, which translates ‘pub with no name.’ Most visitors, especially hen parties usually stumble into this fun bar, during the course of the evening. There is always a nice mixture of foreign weekend break explorers, expats, smiley locals and young students. Nimeta Baar has a small dancefloor and hosts DJs on the weekend, its also popular for watching big sporting events on its multiple TV screens. As you can imagine the premiership matches draw in the local English crowd, so expect the stag weekends to fill this place. Further along the road, 13 Suur-Karja, is Nimega baar or ‘The Pub With a Name.’ Like its sister pub, this place is very busy on the weekends, maybe attracting a slightly younger crowd, that love to get jiggy on its packed dancefloor. Also, along this road is St. Patrick’s pub 1 situated in an old merchant house and is an alternative option for a late night drink (Fri, Sat, 4am close), seems to be popular for expats, sightseeing tourists and sports club tours abroad in Eastern Europe.
Stag weekends in Tallinn are popular. Kompressor is large café-bar, mostly frequented by Estonian students that take advantage of the cheap beer, great pancakes and large wooden tables. Funnily enough lad do’s always seem to find this place. The crowd is 20 something’s and the vibe is usually fun & inviting. Usually closes 3am on the weekends. Another, popular old town drinking spot is McCool’s and is a massive venue. Located in the same building as the Stock Exchange, this enormous bar has a large main hall, VIP rooms, restaurant and wine bar. They have a gigantic TV screen above the bar that often plays MTV and on the weekends it displays the drink prices, which rise and fall by the minute depending on demand. We recommend this to hen & stags and for younger travelers. As you’ll soon discover, all the typical pubs and sports bars like other European capital cities are on offer, but what makes this capital so exciting, is its stylish & trendy bar-club culture.
One of the most progressive bars is Café VS with its chrome industrial interior. It’s known to be one of the trendiest places to drink & eat and has set the standard for chic bars to follow. A must-drink for any Tallinn breaks visitor. Over looking Freedom square is the trendy; bar-restaurant-club ‘Moskva’ and has an excellent reputation amongst the hip Estonian crowd. This high concept restaurant-bar serves the Estonian social elite, offering French-inspired nouvelle cuisine and colourful cocktails. For discerning stag parties in Tallinn these are good choices!
Stag do's in Tallinn are popular and for those on a stag night in Tallinn who like the exclusive vibe then try Bon Bon, situated between the old town and the port. The clientele is very well dressed and can be described as an affluent party crowd, a mixture of local celebrities, higher fliers and models. Bon Bon is an up market bar and doesn’t welcome large stag parties to Tallinn, so we only recommend this place for smaller Estonia weekend breaks groups. Attracting a similar crowd is Kaheksa in the Soprus Cinema complex; know for its more discerning socialites. Kaheksa is definitely an up market bar, with an exotic interior design. It’s a very popular pre-club bar, a great place to people watch and enjoy a refreshing cocktail. One of the hottest bar-club restaurants is Pegasus and is always a hub of cool social gatherings for your short Baltic break. This hip old town bar is a great place to drink and dine whilst on a weekend breaks and is a great place to start or end a session in this party capital.
The Beer House is a well known drinking establishment and is open till 4am. Stag parties in Tallinn love this venue as the Beer house is home to the only micro brewery, where 3 different kinds of beer are produced. Guests can drink mug after mug of beer, eat good food and enjoy the live bands and disco it provides. We recommend this for corporate events, Tallinn pissups and stagdo partys. A bar that is completely unique to any other bar in the world is Depeche Mode. And yes it’s not just a clever name, it is a tribute bar to the famous 80s electronica band! It’s a dimly lit unpretentious venue, serving good beer and some great cocktails and like the Beer House is welcoming to all group sizes, including stag dos. For a different vibe from usual tourist trap pubs, we suggest you try Club Havana, which is the only latin music dance venue. Although salsa is the dominant theme to the bar, the DJs play a range of quality disco hits and good pop music. If cocktails and latin music isn’t your scene, then try Woodstock a themed bar dedicated to the psychedelic era of the 60s. This groovy pub always attracts a healthy crowd, mostly because the drinks prices are a lot lower than most old town pubs.
Nightclubs in Tallinn like most quality cosmopolitan European capitals only start to fill around midnight and don’t close till around 6am. There is a huge variety of clubs to choose from, like old industrial warehouses to monastry cellars and modern casino clubs. Club entry fees are not high in comparison to Britain and as most of the best clubs are nestled close together in the old town, it makes it possible to visit a number of venues on the same evening. If the night life is an important aspect to your Tallinn city escape, you won’t be disappointed with Estonia. The nightclub with the biggest reputation is Club Hollywood found in the very centre of the old town, in an old baroque building, which used to be a cinema. It’s a large club with 5 levels and 3 bars, raised dancefloors and a modern sound system. Wednesday nights at Hollywood are somewhat famous. On this night entrance is free for ladies, which makes this the prime hotspot for singles. Fridays is also very good at Hollywood, but from our experience Saturday nights always lacks atmosphere and is less busy, but generally the dancefloor is packed with gyrating bodies. Hollywood can’t be missed on your Estonia breaks. Large sports tours, like touring football, rugby, cricket teams should pre-arrange a guest list with the management, as the door control doesn’t like to see large groups of men.
Riff, a 2 floored restaurant-club, which has been elegantly furnished with red sofas, large mirrors and wooden tables that reflect an atmosphere of style and sophistication. The Djs play a mixture of classic disco, R&B and other appropriate club music. We have had many nights at Riff and will continue to recommend it as a fun clubbing option for weekend breaks. The door policy can be strict for gents partys just out for a Tallinnpissup, so we advise making a guest list, to avoid being turned away. For the hardcore clubbers, we would recommend Nightman which starts to fill around 3am and is a great option for all night dancing. Nightman is a friendly and intimate club and attracts a mixed crowd of dance music lovers. Book your Baltic state city break with the Eastern European travel specialists. Club Prive gravitates a more posh clientele than other club venues. There is an air of social sophistication in Privé, the people are smartly dressed and the promoters book the best Estonian & foreign DJs. Most notably Club Prive has had Kenny dope and King Britt grace there turntables.
Located in an old firehouse is a 2 storey nightclub called Venus. This popular club hosts a variety of themed nights throughout the week, from ladies night on Wednesdays, go-go dancers and dance competitions. The Djs play a mixture of mainstream hits and RnB and the crowd is a nice mix of locals and foreigners. Another hot spot is Parlament a massive mainstream disco, with a 2500 people capacity. Bargain holiday deals, cheap drinks, cheesy music, it’s an essential for students and stagdos in Estonia. Although for serious music lovers it might not be the coolest of places to be seen, its an incredible venue full of friendly faces, who are out for a fun nightout. Panoraam is found on the top floor of the Metropol Hotel and attracts an unpretentious crowd of locals. The vibe is very much like a ‘cheesy Butlins’ disco, with on stage games played throughout the night, but the atmosphere is very jovial and extremely entertaining. If your not so into serious clubbing and want to go somewhere to drink and be silly, this is a cool place to try.
Tallinn stag nights are endless: Café Amigo is another hotel nightclub, this time located at Hotel Viru on a lower basement level. It’s known for hosting quality blues and rock bands throughout the week and for having a more mature crowd. One of Tallinn’s largest night spots is Terrarium situated in the old port area and is probably big enough to home 3 nightclubs. We would say that Terrarium is more on the commercial edge, playing pop-dance and disco throughout the majority of the evening. The crowd is generally young, teens and early 20s and drink prices are very reasonable. Due to its size and party atmosphere, we would recommend it maybe for larger stag do’s in Tallinn. Two more similar nightclubs are Atlantis and Club XS.
For stag dos in Tallinn looking to try there hand at a bit of 007 action try: Astoria-Palace Monte Carlo is located in the main square and is a very popular casino set in an historical building. Indeed, just a metre or two below the glamorous and always busy centre you almost find yourself in another world. This world is not rushing anywhere, it radiates with mellow tones, offering an ideal opportunity for relaxation and entertainment. Discerning Tallin short breaks clients will like this casino. Olympic Casino’s are perhaps the largest Baltic States operators, with casinos in Estonia, Lithuania & Latvia. One of there best casinos is found at the Reval Park Hotel & Casino and is open 24hrs. The Reval Park Hotel & Casino is a combination of Las Vegas entertainment and European manners. The entertainment centre with a gourmet restaurant is situated in the heart of the capital, hosts concerts and performances, provides special offers and has the newest slot machines and tables for roulette & Blackjack. We certainly recommend any of the Olympic casinos for Baltic State breaks. Located in the hub of the capital, on Pärnu Road opposite to the Drama Theatre, lies the truly modern and trendy Olympic City Casino. The casino offers cutting edge gambling games, ultra-modern interior design and a contemporary spatial layout. The location can easily be accessed by guests enjoying the old town on foot and they will appreciate the bar, which offers the best and cheapest Italian coffee in the city and the opportunities for currency exchange. Casino London is a little bit of England in the Baltics. British design, relaxed environment and friendly people, Cuban cigars, excellent selection of beverages, and, of course exclusive entertainment. This comfortable casino is located in the Hotel Metropole.
It is not only the historical views that will take your breath away, but for sure, so will the women that parade the streets like super models. By night, behind the well-preserved facades of the medieval buildings are chic bars, hot night spots, good value restaurants and high culture entertainment, from Opera to rap concerts. The pavement bars beckon, the old Town fills as night descends and the cobblestone streets are the most intriguing place to stroll (stagger) along under the moon light. This stunning capital is a refined paradise that delivers something completely different to other stag weekend destinations in Europe.
