Butterfly Lounge is the most popular and stylish cocktail bar in Estonia, so it’s a good spot to meet the many locals who come to Butterfly Lounge to start their night out with a delicious cocktail. The owners of this cocktail bar are famous Estonian bartenders who have dozens of international awards, so clearly they know how to prepare a proper elixir.

Déjà Vu is one of the most popular cocktail bars in Tallinn, especially among the local Russian community.

The cocktails are very good, and there is also an area for Shish smoking on the second floor.

3. Katusekohvik

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. This cocktail bar is located on the fourth floor with a wonderful view over Tallinn’s Old Town, so if you don’t feel like dancing, you can just grab a cocktail, smoke some Shisha, and enjoy wonderful views!

5. Teater Club

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.

6. Vabank

If you like dancing to house music and having a wild party, Vabank is the place to visit in Tallinn. The entry costs 10 euros, and only people over 21 are allowed to enter, so you can expect to meet an more discerning adult crowd with good taste. Naturally, the standards are pretty high in Vabank – bartenders make some of the best cocktails in the city, the DJs never fail to impress, and the atmosphere is unforgettable (well, of course, unless you drink too much).
