Itinerary

48 Hours of Drinking in Tallinn

Friday night to Sunday afternoon. Eight stops, properly sequenced for visiting drinkers.

  1. Stop 01

    Whisper Sister

    Friday 17:00 — Arrival drink · Old Town · $$$ · Cocktail Bars

    Tallinn's most awarded cocktail bar. Drop bags. Find a hotel-adjacent bar within a five-minute walk. Order something simple to anchor yourself to the city.

  2. Stop 05

    Hopper Pub

    Saturday 20:00 — Dinner-with-drinks · Telliskivi · $$ · Hidden Gems

    Craft-beer pub with thirty taps including Estonian craft beers. Eat somewhere with serious bartending built in. The right room is one you order both your dinner and your nightcap from.

  3. Stop 06

    Pohjala Tap Room

    Saturday 22:30 — The destination · Telliskivi · $$ · Craft Beer

    Estonia's flagship craft brewery taproom. The bar that made you book the trip. The pre-research one. Reservation-only ideally. Stay until last call.

  4. Stop 08

    Frank

    Sunday 17:00 — Last quiet drink · Kalamaja · $$ · Cocktail Bars

    Boutique cocktail bar with a tight rotating menu. Find the hotel bar at your departure airport equivalent — somewhere quiet, low-volume, well-staffed. End the trip on a martini and a clean conversation.

The plan starts polished on Friday night and peaks Saturday late. We've left Sunday afternoon for recovery, a brunch cocktail, and a quiet last drink before you fly out. Every stop is editor-picked and walkable from at least one of the others.

Total spend across the weekend: roughly £200-£350 per person on drinks alone (not counting food). Reservations are essential at any room flagged 'destination'. Book those first; the rest you can walk to.

Each stop links to the full bar page if you want to dig deeper. Treat timings as guidance — adjust to your pace.
