LVLup! Tallinn

Interactive video game museum

""LVLup!" is a video game museum in Tallinn where you can actually play the games, not just look at the consoles. Here you can learn about gaming history..."

LVLup is one of the most unique places in the whole Baltic counties, even, perhaps of all northern countries. It is one of the only video game museums there is across thousands of kilometres. It has retro consoles, arcades as well as the latest Playstation and Xbox consoles. The most important is that they're not just there for display, you can actually play all the games. That's right, it is interactive and most of the games and consoles that are in the museum are working and playable.

The friendly staff can suggest you the games and help with any question you might have as the atmosphere is super friendly, with the cosy couches and shelves full of old pocket consoles, cameras, books and toys. You can spend hours not only playing but browsing the space.

It has a separate space for parties so if you want to hold an event such as a birthday or just a gathering, it is totally possible. It's a great place not only to hang out alone or with your friends but actually to learn the history of gaming culture.

Kurze

Fancy dumplings

"Kurze" in Tallinn is literally a broth bar. It serves alcohol too, but it's specialised in soups -- genuine and nourishing. They also play techno!

Gotsu

Kyuho's kitchen

"Gotsu" is one of not many Korean restaurants in Tallinn. If you like spicy food, I definitely recommend going for the burning kimchi stew. Pets allowed.

Tops

Bar for locals

"Tops" Tallinn is a small soviet-chic cafe in trendy Kalamaja. I invite you to try a 'küpsisekook' there, a very simple but very Estonian dessert...

"Frank" in Tallinn has this 1940s New Year New York flair. Simple but beautiful furniture, a sophisticated and warm atmosphere... I love it all!

NoKu Klubi

Secret place

"NoKu Klubi" Tallinn is a truly secret bar with a turbulent past you need a code for to enter! I like it for the '70s vibe and warm dusky light...

Boheem Kohvik

Nice place for dinner

"Boheem Kohvik" is one of my favorite spots in Tallinn for lunch. This nice and quiet restaurant makes, in my opinion, the best Caesar's salad in the city.

Hell Hunt

Probably the best pub in town

"Hell Hunt" is my go-to option when I just can't come up with any ideas of where to go for a drink or food in Tallinn. A chaotic, cheerful pub/restaurant.
