X-Bar: Tallinn's Longest-Running Gay Bar
Opened in 1993, X-Bar holds the title of Tallinn's oldest continuously operating gay venue—a remarkable feat in post-Soviet Estonia. Located in central Tallinn, it's the cornerstone of the city's LGBTQ+ nightlife.
The Experience
A spacious two-floor venue with a main bar, dance floor, and outdoor terrace. Music leans toward commercial pop and dance hits. The crowd is mixed—locals, expats, and tourists—and the atmosphere welcoming. On weekends, resident DJs keep things moving until the early hours.
Pricing
- Entry: Generally free (events may charge €5-10)
- Beer: ~€4
X-Bar is the place to start any Tallinn gay night out, connecting you with locals who'll point you to whatever else is happening.
