Part of a smartly re-developed factory complex in the bohemian Kalamaja district, Building-F has made a reputation for itself by offering inventive meals in unusual, retro-style surroundings.
During the day it's a family friendly place with high chairs, play area and changing facilities as well as little outdoor playground. By night F-hoone often doubles as a party spot, hosting alternative events.

Põhjala was one of the first microbreweries in Estonia. Located in the up-and-coming Noblessner port area, the Põhjala Tap Room has a wide selection of beer on tap featuring both their own products as well as selected guest beers, everything paired with Texas BBQ. While there, you can also join one of the regular tours to the brewery downstairs (must be booked in advance).

Young wine enthusiast Carlos takes immense pride in showcasing the best his home country has to offer to the world. It may come as a surprise to some, but Portuguese wine is not only limited to just vinho verde, there’s much more to offer. Carlos will not shy away from giving you a lengthy (but very interesting!) lecture on the finer aspects of Portuguese wine. And thanks to a brilliant invention called Coravin, all bottles can be tapped to sample without ruining the quality of the wine.

Operating both as a wine shop and a wine bar, there’s always a steady crowd of people walking in through the door, either to sip on a glass of wine, or to stock up for the night. While it clearly tries to establish itself as a wine bar, there’s also an abundance of gin and rum available, with Tiks always guaranteeing a good time, either sitting at the bar or settling down for a very filling meat and cheese platter at one of the tables.

If you’re more interested in getting a quick bite to eat but don’t want to miss out on great wine, then head over to Flamm, located almost next door, in the very same Rotermann district. Flammkuchen or tarte flambée is a traditional dish from the Alsace region, featuring very thinly rolled-out bread dough, covered with cream cheese, and all imaginable toppings known to lovers of good food. The list of flamms is remarkably extensive (but not expensive!) and sources claim that the quality is almost shockingly authentic. Each flamm (please do not say pizza) pairs very well with a particular wine, so make sure to ask the lovely staff for advice. The place does not have a lot of seats and is very busy after office-hours, when young urban professionals from nearby offices flock there to catch up on the day’s events. Luckier patrons might get a chance to sit right at the kitchen counter and see the delicious pastries come fresh from the oven.
