Our Take on Uba ja Humal
Võrgu 3 sits in the Volta factory quarter where Kalamaja leans toward the harbor, and Uba ja Humal fills its ground floor with two trades at once. The name means Bean and Hop, and the room delivers both: specialty coffee from micro roasters on one side, and what Like a Local calls the largest selection of craft beer in Estonia on the other.
Twenty taps rotate Estonian breweries, Põhjala and Pühaste turn up regularly on the Untappd menu, and the shelves hold roughly 300 cans and bottles, all available to drink in or carry out at a discount.
It opens at 4pm on weekdays and closes at 10pm Sunday through Thursday, so this is the considered pint, not the late one. Friday and Saturday run to 2am for everyone who disagrees.
Reading the Room
A shop that drinks like a pub. Shelves of cans climb the walls of a historic Volta quarter building, board games stack by the tables, and dogs are welcome, a combination Wanderlog reviewers file under cozy.
The 100ml testers In Your Pocket mentions mean the counter works like a tasting desk; staff pour small before anyone commits to large.
The Menu, Edited
Who Shows Up, and When
Craft beer enthusiasts and Kalamaja locals, with the room at its quietest on weekday evenings when the doors open at four and the coffee side still hums.
Fridays and Saturdays stretch to 2am and the taproom side takes over, though even then this stays a talking room, not a shouting one.
The Word on the Street
- A must go place for craft beer lovers, per a Tripadvisor reviewer.
- Friendly and professional staff who offer great recommendations, a pattern repeated across Tripadvisor and Wanderlog reviews.
- Prices run a bit high for craft, one Tripadvisor reviewer notes, though the selection really compensates.
- Like a Local calls the selection the largest in Estonia, which is the entire pitch in one line.
Go, or Skip
- Beer drinkers who want the full Estonian craft map on one counter
- Kalamaja locals after a quiet weekday pint and a board game
- Avoid if you want a late close early in the week; weeknights end at 10pm
