    Easily, by far, and head-and-shoulders-above-its-peers better than all the competition in Tallinn for a craft beer bar with a real fire, an excellent range, wonderful service with a seriously dry sense of humour, great music and a more relaxed, perhaps more local, clientele. Top marks, don't waste your time anywhere else for decent craft beer. Incidentally, the butt-hurt reviews on here who whinge about "rudeness" and being chucked out drunk are just that: butt-hurt reviews.

    Fantastic small bar which you could easily miss if you didn't know where it was. Visited there on 2 successive nights. It is small and cosy. At least 6 different beers on tap and a wide choice of bottled beers. The music played was not my taste but it was interesting to hear something different. Watch your head when visiting the toilet. There was a small courtyard outside with an outside heater.

    A very nice cozy beer bar. The bartender can help you exploring their massive beer menu, if you know what you are looking for. A good place to have 1 to many beers with 1 to many people. They speak English and take cards

    Yep, it takes a double check on maps to find where it is (down the alley behind the bottle shop), but it's worth a visit. Great selection of beers that can be enjoyed in front of a log fire.

    Would be the nicest cosy craft bar if not for the bartender who definitely needs psychological help. He screamed at us on top of his lungs out of the blue refusing to sell us more beer (we have had only one so far) and demanded us to “get the f**k out” of his bar. It has never happened to me before and I would probably even not believe it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. I feel really sorry for the guy however, other guests were laughing as if it was not his first breakdown. Hope he finds another job that doesn’t require dealing with people on daily basis.

    Great place if you like trying different kinds of beer. Inside is cozy and the place is rather hidden. You should go inside the passage and there'll be a door with a sign on it, that's the entrance. There is also a beer shop attached to it. I liked the cherry beer, sour and flavoury.

    The amount of beer is crazy, the staff helps you if you ask for any kind of recommendation. Cool music, interesting design, one of the best places to visit in the City if you want good beer from around the world.

    Down a quiet little street, tucked into a corner behind a bottle shop. It’s really cosy inside and has a rotating selection of craft beer with the menu literally printed and stuck to the wall.

    An experience and a must to visit in old town of Tallinn. Basement bar with an amazing selection of beer. Bar staff friendly, was difficult as we didn't know which beer to get and language was a bit of a barrier but excellent recommendations. Very cosy and unique.

  • 5/5 Roman G. 5 months ago on Google
    A significant beer place in Tallinn. A huge selection of bottles, about 1000. It's not so interesting on tap. A cozy, nice atmosphere - there is a fireplace that is heated in the cold. The service is harsh, but you get used to it the second time :). I recommend to visit those who are interested in drinking not only * heineken*...

    Excellent selection of craft beer. Knowledgeable staff. Cozy atmosphere.

  • 1/5 Grigoris G. 1 year ago on Google
    If you are looking for a place with a huge variety of beer and a lot of rudeness on the side, then this is it! While I was ordering beers, the bartender told me to stop talking because she was doing something else... That something else was opening a bottle of sparkling..

  • 4/5 Loren O. 1 year ago on Google
    Small place but cozy and chill. The menu is sticked on the wall you can scan the QR code

  • 5/5 Jordan Filchev (. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and cozy bar with lots of beers. I didn't know what beer to drink, so the owner chose the best one for me only by asking me a few question what I like and what is my taste.

  • 5/5 Jarmo V. 1 year ago on Google
    They have a lots and lots of different beers in the shop. The staff can help you out for picking the right drink for you. They have beer from all over the world. And on the evening they have a bar as well that is small and cozy.

  • 5/5 Jussi P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cozy and small place which oozes pub culture and friendly service. Selection of taps from local breweries, cheap prices, huge selection of bottles, what is not to like? Can be bit difficult to find but the door is there, trust me.

  • 5/5 Aleksandr K. 11 months ago on Google
    This bar has a shop and its choice of beer is just so wide that you can be blined. They have about 970 different beers as they said. I Love it. My favourite source of beer in Tallinn now.

  • 3/5 Dominika N. 7 months ago on Google
    They have a huge selection of craft beers, many of them on tap. We had the tasting flight (you choose your 5 beers) and a very good Estonian dry cider. Pretty glasses with bees on them. The staff could have been nicer.

  • 3/5 Jana K. 9 months ago on Google
    This place offer offers beers form all around the world. Besides the bottled beers, there are also the draft beers to choose from. The toilet at the place works, but since the pub is in an old building, it has its flats. The guy working at the place wasn't the best in giving recommendations and I ended up with the sour beer that is much sweeter than I normally go for. If you feel more like buying some exotic beer to take home, there is a beer shop close to the building's entrance gate that belongs to the same owners as this place, if I have understood it correctly.

  • 5/5 Irine A. 5 months ago on Google
    Cozy bar in the Old Town. Mostly for locals. Sometimes staff acts very rude from out of the sudden and it's disappointing. One day you come and they are nice, another day just rude as hell

  • 5/5 Artur L. 4 months ago on Google
    This place is amazing - the owner is super sweet, the place has massive selection of really good beers! Also the fireplace adds a very cozy twist to this place - a definite recommendation for beer-lovers in Tallinn!

  • 5/5 Efe G. 5 months ago on Google
    Great bar with a great owner! Had some really good beer (from tons of different options) enjoyed it with good music and shared some nice memories with the owner 🙏🍻

  • 5/5 Bryan K. 8 months ago on Google
    I've given this 5 stars for the young lady that served me on the first night. She was absolutely brilliant and gave me loads of options of beers from the fridge. Which there were many! There is a fantastic selection. The second visit was the complete opposite. Lady didn't care and was more interested in playing cards!!! Shame as I highly recommend this bar, and the beer selection is brilliant. If you like craft beers, then definitely worth a visit. Great bar.

  • 1/5 Emily P. 6 months ago on Google
    Not only did the bartender not acknowledge us as we walked in, but also hid in the back shortly after we arrived. Waited much longer than we should’ve done at the bar but still received no acknowledgment or service from the person behind the bar so made the decision to leave. Really disappointed.

  • 5/5 Russell Cox (The Wycombe W. 6 months ago on Google
    Superb selection of drinks, the chap on the bar prepared to go above and beyond to hunt your choice of beer. Good friendly clientele. Prices fair considering the rarity of the drinks.

  • 5/5 Kristoffer H. 6 years ago on Google
    Great variety of beers and some ciders. Have spoken to two persons here and both were very service minded and knew their stuff.

  • 5/5 Kamil K. 6 years ago on Google
    Wow! This place was recommended by a local person. It's a small place but you feel like you visit a person's home. The range of beers is crazy big. When I ordered I just told the person what kind of taste I want and she found me a proper one. They have beers even from Japan. Really I'm impressed by this place and how the owner knows the beers. Really good place.

  • 5/5 Donatas P. 4 years ago on Google
    As good as it gets. Strongly recommend to pay a visit, you will like it.

  • 5/5 Crni K. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing bar for foreigners. Very old Estonian vibes with alot of different and interesting peoples. It has a large variety of drinks and the prices are ok!

  • 3/5 Louis C. 2 years ago on Google
    The bar is cool but there is not a big choice of Estonian beer on tape. Furthermore the terase is not that great. But the staff is really nice and take time to advise you on your choice of beer !

  • 5/5 Lukasz P. 4 years ago on Google
    Super cozy, off the beaten path pub. Good selection of beers, domestic and foreign. A few on tap, lots in bottles/cans. Very laid back vibe, friendly staff; one could spend days in there. The adjacent bottle shop makes it possible, if you're lucky, to take home of the liquid happiness you've just drunk.

  • 5/5 Jesse L. 6 years ago on Google
    Very interesting and somewhat off putting clientele but the bar lady is so sweet and knowledgeable about all things beer. Not what you would expect, the room is humbly decorated and is quite basic and unassuming. The one very good thing is that there are so many amazing beers here, and I mean more than I have ever seen before!

  • 5/5 Max H. 3 years ago on Google
    Good beer. Nice stuff. Cosy bar. Always again

    Quirky bar in tallin old town. Fantastic overall . Loads of french and Belgium beers Really good atmosphere

  • 5/5 Robert P. 1 year ago on Google
    My favourite craft beer pub in Tallinn. Great crafts selection and atmosphere. There is a fireplace inside so you can chill out with a glass of ale or stout. Area is in the city center, but really quite and safe. A little bit hard to notice from the street, but just look for a happy people standing outside and let them direct you into this cave of brewery pleasures. Beers are well selected, interesting and sometimes even breathtaking (I had the best American Imperial Stout ever here). Definitely it will be the place to come back, often, as often as possible.

  • 5/5 Janne K. 2 years ago on Google
    THE bottle shop and bar in Old town. Awesome staff and ever-changing bottle and taps with goodnä prices. Must visit for Beer lovers.

  • 5/5 Peyton G. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun little bar for everyone! Beers from all over the world :) and they do flights for 9 euro!

  • 5/5 Mixity 1 year ago on Google
    This place is one of the best places in Tallinn's Old-town! Sweet, homelike comfortable place to meet new people or go have a fun night out with your best friend! Owner is one of the best people I know, her atmosphere is felt in the pub's interior and in people she has hired to serve you! Who are also great!

  • 5/5 Olli T. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful small place for a beer or two.. 🍻 Late night QIPA was a bit strong😅

  • 4/5 Elvis K. 1 year ago on Google
    Place with a little different concept, than other pubs in Tallinn. Price level is little over the edge (4€ for 0,25L beer), but definitely worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Ivan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Cosy place with nice atmosphere, where you can pleasantly spend time and enjoy different beverages.

  • 5/5 Joost M. 2 years ago on Google
    Just amazing! Thank you for all recommendations and nice beers

  • 5/5 DC M. 1 year ago on Google
    Was here two weeks ago. As a craft beer nerd this is the place you want to hang. Great selection of beer. Use Untappd for the menu! Don’t come here if you want macro tasteless lager. You will not get it. Come here and enjoy the vibes, the tap beers and bottled, sit by the fire or the bar and enjoy. Whatever happens, happens. And that’s the point.
