Urban Discoveries: BrewDog Tallinn

In “Urban Discoveries,” we seek exciting and well-designed places to eat and drink. Usually in or around Vienna, but this time around, we checked out a new place for craft beer in Tallinn, Estonia.

BrewDog, of course, is not new but an already-established brand from Scotland. They are a craft brew company but also license pubs. Estonia is unique to the family. The first BrewDog was opened just a couple of months ago in the fresh Rotermanni Kvartal (Rotermann District), right around the corner from the magnificent old town of Tallinn.

It is a welcoming place with lots of choices for beer lovers. There are some staples, but much of the menu is changing constantly, so to offer new brands for trial. The prices are modest, if so, not as cheap as you would expect from a former Soviet country. Estonia is becoming increasingly part of the West (or North). The barkeepers are always up for a chat and are very friendly. They will gladly explain to you the nuances and differences of the assortment. Don’t be shy!

You’ll find more info about the place right here. They also have a well-done Instagram account.
