Lokaal Pirogov

By Raul

Soup and cake, beer and palinka

Lokaal Pirogov

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.

Beer Shop Gambrinus

Nightlife 6 1

By Raul

The best shop in Tartu, if you love beer

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.

The hillside hangout

Püssirohukelder

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.

Ristiisa pub

The godfather of all pubs

Ristiisa pub

You know those days when you just want to watch some bloody football and wash it down with cold beer? But where do you go? To a pub, silly! I have to say that Ristiisa isn’t any ordinary pub, one might even say it’s the godfather of all pubs. Quite literally.

Pahad poisid

Bad boys, bad boys

Pahad poisid

A pub is a pub and we, the people of Tartu, love them all. Pahad Poisid (Bad Boys) is as much of a classic pub as you can be. They offer beer, pub food and a TV that broadcasts sports or music events pretty much 24/7.

Krooks

Pub Food 8 1

By Piret

The quintessential Tartu pub

Krooks

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.
