Tallinn Old Town Records Tallinn
Digging dope on plastic
Tallinn Old Town Records is a small but cool record shop under the arches of a dwelling house basement. Records, CDs, posters and t-shirts are stacked in piles and boxes on the shelves, on the floor, literally everywhere, as space is limited. If new stuff arrives, it's time to go online, share the message and invite DJs, fans and all kinds of music freaks to come and join the feast of selection.
The records need to be listened, valued and placed into the right categories. Hard-bop, post-bop, jazz-blues, spiritual, electronic-jazz, indie, punk, minimal, soviet progrock, old school/new school etc. Singles, albums, package deals, special discounts – feel free and ask for more.
If your time is limited and you just want to get some good Estonian music, then ask for advice, they have the latest brand new releases of different alternative music scenes always available. However, the best is to set aside some time, ask the shop keeper to make a coffee, put this or that record on the deck, take your coat off and start exploring.

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...

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

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.

Paljassaare Conservation Area
Nature in the city
The "Paljassaare Special Conservation Area" is just 15 minutes by bus from the Tallinn's centre. I like exploring it by bicycle because it's quite big...
