X-Baar is known as the oldest gay bar in Estonia and one of the most iconic LGBTQ+ nightlife spots in Tallinn. Open since 1998, it has long served as a welcoming meeting place for queer locals, travellers and allies. The venue features two bars, a spacious dance floor and cosy seating areas, making it suitable for relaxed drinks early in the evening or dancing late into the night.
Situated near Freedom Square in the heart of the city, X-Baar attracts a mixed crowd drawn by its friendly atmosphere, music and inclusive vibe. There is no cover charge, which makes it easy to drop in for a casual drink, mingle and soak up the local LGBTQ+ scene. On weekends the energy is lively and the bar often hosts music, themed nights and social groups.
Whether you are visiting Tallinn to explore the city’s medieval old town by day or seek queer nightlife by night, X-Baar offers a classic, historic spot that embodies the local scene.
