Tops Tallinn
Bar for locals
Diana from Tallinn
Tops is a small cafe situated in the trendiest neighbourhood today, Kalamaja. It is on the first floor of a wooden house and serves cold drinks, coffee and tea, salads, panini sandwiches and a very Estonian cake that every child who grew up in Estonia has had. I invite you to try a "küpsisekook". It is actually a very simple dessert, made for the lazy but patient people. You just take few squared cookies put them on top of each other with some cream and wait a few hours for them to cool down in the fridge. It is tasty and brings back a lot of childhood memories. So if you go there, share the memory of Estonian children.
The place is a throwback to Soviet chic. Old furniture, books, art on the walls. There is also a smoking room for those of you who do not enjoy smoking outside and check out their page for upcoming events.
Every Thursday they have a Femme Fatale night, the female DJs play lovely music. They also invite interesting musicians for small, intimate performances. It is like having your own guest over that plays good music.

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.

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.

Harjumägi
Best view of Freedom Square
"Harjumägi" is a hill in the heart of Tallinn. It offers great views and is next to the Upper Old Town, but it's quiet despite its very central location...
