Avenüü, Suur-Karja 10, T/F 644 1019, http://www.clubavenue.ee A Parisian-themed bar that stays open 24/7. A good spot for post-club munchies.

Tallinns only microbrewery, with reasonably authentic German brews from 30 EEK (or 15 EEK at lunchtime). Too big to get truly raucous; dance floor upstairs. Depeche Mode, Nunne 4, T 641 1608, http://edmfk.cafe.ee/dmbaar. 1200-0100, Fri 1200-0400, Sat 1600-0400, Sun 1600-0100. If youre a fan of the band, this place will be a real exciter: theyre not so much a theme as an object of insane devotion. The music policy is
well, you can guess. The band popped in for a beer during a tour in 2001; the regulars are probably still talking about it. Gloria Veinikelder, Müürivahe 2, T 644 8846, http://www.gloria.ee. Daily 1200-2300 Gloria the restaurant has one of the Baltic regions best-stocked cellars, so its next-door wine bar has a headstart on the competition.

Ilmataar, Kalamaja, T 641 5337.Weird and wonderful Russian karaoke bar near the Balti jaam. A world unto its self where vodka drinking is de rigeur, the dancing is wild, lonesome males buy every woman inthe club a bunch of red roses and even the shyest are somehow persuaded to take the microphone.

Upmarket, orange-coloured lounge in the Sõprus Cinema complex, with spotlights, exotic tropical decor, leather sofas and a good range of cocktails, fruit smoothies and tasty Italian-style snacks.

Sun-Mon 1100-2400, Tue and Thu 1100-0200, Fri-Sat1100-0400.
