The old gangster days of the Windy City come back to life in this vast, elaborately-decorated affair at the edge of Old Town. Here you'll sink into plush, upholstered chairs while you dig into your Caesar salad, chicken fillet or American-style burger. Stick close to the stage to hear live music or head upstairs to enjoy a cigar in the swank smoking lounge.

Attached to a theatre in Old Town, this down-to-earth bar is known as Tallinn's main destination for alternative bands and alternative crowds. Anything from Reggae to progressive rock can be found on stage here. Some fans will dance in the small area in front of the stage, while others watch from the wooden-railed balcony above. There's a small entrance change when bands are playing.
