Europe Estonia Tallinn Bars & Nightlife Valli Baar

Overview

Valli Baar

The guide was updated: 2023-10-31

This legendary bar is a true anachronism and a welcome sight to anyone interested in a 70s-style watering hole. If there's one Tallinn watering hole that everyone should check out, it's Valli Baar. The tiny venue has seen few changes since it first open — its interior is actually under cultural heritage protection. Valli Baar's famous house shot is the potent, spicy Millimallikas (jellyfish), which is also the traditional welcome drink for new employees of Skype in Tallinn.

The US and Texas flags hanging out at the front, the steer horns, beer ads and other trappings of an American country-style bar may make you think you are in the Lone Star State.
