Tallinn: Old Town Bar Crawl - Shots, Games, Deals & Club

If you’re heading to Tallinn and looking to get a real feel for its nightlife scene, a guided Old Town bar crawl might just be your best bet. For $21 per person, you spend an evening hopping between specialized bars, playing interactive games, and ending the night in a club — all with the help of friendly locals. This tour isn’t just about drinks; it’s about making friends, discovering hidden gems, and experiencing Tallinn’s social side alongside fellow travelers from around the world.

What we love about this experience are two key aspects. First, the guides are excellent at creating a welcoming, energetic atmosphere — they know all the best spots and secret corners. Second, the games and icebreakers help break down barriers early on, making it easier to connect with new friends while enjoying complimentary shots at each stop. On the flip side, a potential consideration for some might be that the tour doesn’t include transportation, so you’ll need to plan your arrival and departure from the meeting point yourself.

This tour is perfect if you’re keen on socializing, want a relaxed but lively introduction to Tallinn’s nightlife, and enjoy a mix of popular venues with some hidden surprises. It’s especially suitable for those who appreciate interactive experiences and aren’t expecting a typical pub crawl — instead, it’s lively, well-organized, and packed with fun activities.
