The Best Bars in Estonia
Cocktail BarJunimperium Baar
Junimperium Baar is the Tallinn cocktail bar of the Estonian craft gin distillery Junimperium, set in the Telliskivi area. Its bartenders change the menu with the seasons, mixing both classics and original recipes from the distillery's own gins. Snack plates of olives, cheese, cured meats and cold smoked trout are served, and the room seats about 40 for events.

Fotografiska Rooftop Bar
Fotografiska Rooftop Bar sits on the top floor of the Fotografiska photo gallery in Telliskivi, with views that run from Old Town to Kalamaja. Regor Siiner and Artur Pärtel curate the menu, which borrows from the kitchen by putting by-products to work, kimchi juice and leftover pea pods among them. Seasonal combinations stay on for only a few weeks, so the list keeps moving: one autumn menu paired plum with goat cheese, and a carrot cocktail recalled carrot cake in a glass. Among the classics is the barrel-aged Bergroni, a negroni made with Von Berg gin, and the shelves mix Estonian gins with rarer bottles from abroad.
