The best cocktail bars Tallinn

Juniper is an integral part of the Estonian landscape and craftsmanship. So it's no surprise to find a gin distillery right in the middle of Telliskivi. It's also a cocktail bar where you can enjoy the house spirits as a simple gin and tonic or in the form of more elaborate cocktails. The Blended Dry Gin is very successful and velvety, but the gins with a local touch (rhubarb or lingonberry) are worth a try. The subdued atmosphere makes it the perfect place for a quiet get-together. Distillery tour available for fans.

Tucked away above a boutique, this genuine speakeasy plays on all the codes of the genre: hushed atmosphere, subdued lighting, 1920s decor, dressed-up staff and exotic plants. All of this is done in the basement, with the narrow windows overlooking the street adding to the impression of being in a speakeasy. At Sessel, the cocktails are really well thought-out and well-balanced, and if you're here in winter, they make, in our opinion, the best mulled wine in town. Enjoy it early or late in the evening, slumped in a good armchair.
