The legendary meeting place for bohemians at heart and in appearance. Hidden in a small alleyway of Lai street Zavood is the place where students might end up raising glasses with their professors. The most colourful bar in Tartu, both literally and metaphorically.

Often completely full, but absolutely fabulous, this place is the new must-visit in Tartu. Reasonably priced wine and some snacks might not sound too special, but it has definitely got that special Tartu vibe going on. And for us that just happens to include wine.

Bit of a legend on the Tartu pub scene. Over 20 years old, known as place with free minded atmosphere and good service. Full of local students and other townies, more like creative-kind gem, but welcomes everybody.

We must say Club Illusion has a wicked design thing going for it. Sure, the balconies might come off as kitsch, but the giant arch splitting the venue ties all the elements together to form a working whole.

Situated away from the main party street, NAIIV has become a little oasis. It hosts quiz nights, has an ever-growing alcohol menu and attracts a crowd that can be characterized as a bit more cultural than your average student.

The second you walk into this pub you'll notice a couple of things. Firstly, it's busy. Secondly, it's high. Like, really high. Seriously, an 11-metre-ceiling high. The reason why the place is so spacious is that it used to be a massive storage space for gunpowder.

Krooks is one of those pubs that has stood the test of time. Interestingly, it has done so by not taking any sides. The different parts of its broad customer base all lay claim on the place, but the pub itself has remained ambiguous.

The idea that there's nothing you can't mix into a shot is quickly materializing across Estonia. Trepp is another place that seeks to prove that shots can't be held down by traditions.

You can't have lived in Tartu and not have heard of the Genialistide klubi. If this place believed in translations, the name would mean something akin to "Genius club", but better. An establishment within subcultures, it makes for a venue where theatre, music, cinema and joy meet.

Beer Shop Gambrinus

Gambrinus is the only specialized beer shop in Tartu, and one of the very few in Estonia. There are more than three hundred sorts of beer from all over the world, and the variety is so wide that for a layman, some drinks won't even resemble beer. It's nice and comfy, and makes big fat men feel like kids in a candy shop.

Kivi

Us Estonians have always been known for our love of nature. So it really is no wonder that someone put a big hulking tree in the middle of a small bar, covered the walls with weird drawings and decided to name it Stone. With low prices, good music, friendly staff and excellent location on Rüütli street, it definitely is hitting the jackpot.

It's a good place to have quick lunch or grab a drink with friends. Also, it has good music: interesting, pleasant and not too loud so you can have a chat. And there is excellent service.

So it’s 7 am, most of the places are closed and the parties are over. Well, think again! This dodgy little bar has just opened. You probably won’t find tons of people there, perhaps some fishermen and a couple of local regulars, but the atmosphere itself is worth the trouble.

Underground

As you can tell by its name this place stands for everything underground. To verify this fact, they’re even situated in a dodgy cellar. Don’t let the longhaired rockstars in leather pants scare you, Underground welcomes everyone whose idea of good music is something other than Justin Bieber.
