KN Brasserie Funky cellar brasserie in the old town that only opened in May 2005, but has already become a firm favorite of the local cognoscenti. Good service, large portions and plenty of atmosphere.

Nightlife:Bizarrely the Tartan Army (the ’disorganization’ of football fans who faithfully follow the Scottish national side) are credited with kick-starting the city’s nightlife in the 1990s after decades of Soviet dreariness. The two bars they set up after a football match in Tallinn, the
Nimeta, Suur-Karja 4, and the
Nimega, Suur-Karja 13, are still going strong and are a good place to meet locals praticising their English. Overlooking Town Hall Square,
Molly Malone’s, Mundi 2, is a better than average Irish theme pub with a sunny terrace in summer. With stag parties increasingly invading all of the above, the local trendies have moved onto chic lounge-style bars such as
Kaheksa, Vana-Posti 8,
Pegasus, Harju 1, and the
Stereo Lounge, Harju 6. For live music the veteran
Guitar Safari, Muurivahe 22, seldom disappoints, while
Saku Suurhall, Paldiski 104b, is a massive venue used for major gigs. Tallinn’s club scene is fairly lively with the enormous
Decolte, Ahtri 10 (website:
www.decolte.ee), fun when it is open, joined by
Hollywood, Vana-Posti 8 (website:
www.clubhollywood.ee/est), in the old town with its steady diet of techno and its dubious clientele of teenage girls and rough men.
