Déjà Vu is one of the most popular cocktail bars in Tallinn, especially among the local Russian community. You should dress up fashionably if going to Déjà Vu – the dress code is pretty strict, and other visitors value beauty and fashion. The cocktails are very good, and there is also an area for Shish smoking on the second floor.

The party in Katusekohvik never stops, so you can come here whenever you want and still meet locals who will talk with you, dance with you, and have a drink or two. On Mondays, Katusekohvik transforms into the most popular Tallinn’s salsa venue.

Teater Club is the place where the Estonian elite comes to party. It is an exclusive club with extremely high standards, so make sure to come here in your best outfit and with some extra cash to spend. The club is only open two days per week, but it is totally worth waiting all week just to have a party at Teater, which is located in an old theater from the 1930s.
