Whisper Sister Tallinn

1920s New York

""Whisper Sister" Tallinn is a speakeasy bar in the purest sense of the word. My favorite cocktail there is the Lemon Thyme, but follow me and find yours..."

Are you familiar with speakeasy? Well, I think this is what inspired this bar. If you are not familiar with this - LMGTFY.

Speakeasy is forbidden by law - establishments that served strong alcoholic beverages during the Prohibition era in the United States, that is. The owners of the bars would often tell the loud crowd to "speak easy" because, you know, police might hear the fun. There are other stories why such bars are called like that but I like this one and it goes very well with Whisper Sister.

If you want to book a table, and you really need to (because usually it is always full house as if this was the only bar in town), follow my instructions and do not skip any steps:

1) Go to the address during the day and write down the telephone number that you kind find at the door. 2) Call around 19.30 to book a table. 3) Dress up a bit, you would not regret it later and let's admit, it can be fun 4) Do not be fashionably late.

You will be met by a well-dressed man, escorted to take your coat and led to the table.

You will be absolutely awe-struck by the barmen and the interior design - and you haven't even tried the cocktails yet!

My favourite is Lemon Thyme, but go and find yours!

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...

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.
