Looking for a way to unwind after a day around town? Explore Tallinn's nightlife — it's as varied as the city itself. Dance until dawn at a club, sit back and relax with a cocktail in hand, or try the best locally brewed beers. The primary hot spots for nightlife in Tallinn are Old Town and its outskirts, Telliskivi, and Noblessner. Each place has it's own unique vibe, so check out a few until you find your favourite spot. Options abound!
Clubs
Let the music carry you away and keep your feet moving — dance until the wee hours at one of Tallinn's lively nightclubs! DJs spinning electronic music tend to be a favourite, but you might also be able to catch live acts or international hits. Most of Tallinn's clubs are conveniently located inside or on the outskirts of Old Town — you won't have far to go when you're ready to head back to your hotel.
Old Town cocktail bars
If nightclubs aren't your thing, you can still revel in Tallinn's nightlife at the city's many cocktail bars. Enjoy drinks served up by top mixologists at these cocktail bars in Tallinn's Old Town. Whether you prefer swank bars or hidden speakeasies, these spots are perfect for spending an evening with friends while sipping on something new and refreshing.
Cocktail bars outside Old Town
Old Town may be the center of Tallinn's nightlife, but there are plenty of other areas to explore. And thanks to the city's compact size and great public transportation, they are easily accessible from Old Town. During the summer, enjoy a sundowner at Noblessner — the view over the water is priceless — or warm up during winter at a craft gin distillery.
Bars with live music
Like your drinks with a side of sweet, sweet music? Then pull up a stool at one of these spots for live music in Tallinn. From quirky acts to live jazz, you'll find a cozy spot for listening to some tunes while you enjoy your drinks. Of course, there are many more venues with live music in Tallinn. These are just a few suggestions to get you started!
Where to go for beer
Tallinn has a buzzing craft beer industry. In fact, there's a whole event dedicated to it — Tallinn Craft Beer Weekend. Many bars around Tallinn serve locally brewed beers or beers from craft breweries around the world. Some breweries even have tap rooms where you can go for a tasting after a tour. Plus, new spots are popping up all the time!
Hipster spots and quirky bars
Want to know where the cool kids go? You're apt to find them up in the Kopli neighborhood around the new Põhjala tehas area or near Balti Jaam market in the Telliskivi area of Kalamaja. But if you don't care about being hip and are just looking for something a little strange, then make sure you stop by the only bar in the world dedicated to Depeche Mode!
Wine bars around town
An oenophile is one who enjoys wine. Does that sound like you? Then you're in luck. Tallinn's best restaurants have extensive wine lists, but if you've already had your meal and are looking for a place to sit and sip, check out one of these spots. You'll find these wine bars in by the water, on the streets of Old Town, or up on a rooftop overlooking the city. Whichever one you choose, you're in for a treat.
