Just off Viru Street in the Old Town, Barbar is an unmissable metal music bar housed in a historic medieval building set against the old defence wall. Look for the heavy metal symbol above the door to find your way. Inside, the decor is all black, with iron chandeliers lit by flickering candles, enhancing the atmosphere. Spread across two floors, Barbar offers group seating on the upper level, creating a cosy yet lively space for metalheads. Sip on local Käbliku beers, including Barbar’s own brew, or sample one of their signature cocktails. With outdoor seating available year-round, and welcoming guests every day, Barbar is a must-visit for fans of metal music in Tallinn.
The onsite hair salon and tattoo parlour add an extra rebellious touch, and if the night takes an unexpected turn, you might even leave with a new haircut or some spontaneous skin art inspired by a newly met friend.
