Veino
Old Town, Tallinn
Bar in Tallinn, Estonia
Book with PearlWhy go
Veino is worth choosing for a wine-led evening in Tallinn Old Town, especially as a pre-dinner or date-night stop. Treat it as a drinks-first venue rather than a food-first booking: the wine signal is stronger than the available evidence for the kitchen, small groups will get the clearest value from the room.
About Veino
Veino is a Tallinn venue with casual dress and confirmed Star Wine List (2024) recognition. Beyond that recognition and the published evening hours, the verified details are limited, so the safest way to plan is to treat it as an evening stop rather than build expectations around an unverified menu, service style, price point, or room setup.
Use the confirmed schedule to decide whether it fits your night: Veino opens at 6 PM daily, closes at 11 PM from Sunday through Thursday, stays open until 1 AM on Friday and Saturday. For a broader sweep of the city before choosing, cross-check other Tallinn dining and drinking options.
Choose it for a verified evening slot
The clearest planning signal is timing. Veino is an evening venue in Tallinn, with later closing hours on Friday and Saturday. The Star Wine List (2024) recognition is a confirmed accolade, but it should not be stretched into unverified claims about the menu, pricing, service format, seating, or food program.
That distinction matters when planning a Tallinn night. Veino may fit well as one part of an evening, but the available verified data does not support treating it as a full restaurant recommendation, a tasting-menu destination, or a specific kind of bar setup.
The right booking is based on hours, not assumptions
Plan around the confirmed opening time of 6 PM. Sunday through Thursday, Veino closes at 11 PM; Friday and Saturday, it closes at 1 AM. If you are comparing other options before deciding, Chin Chin and Café and Bar Linnutee are other names to check.
For broader comparisons, Time to Wine Kopli 6 and Time to Wine Rotermanni are natural cross-checks. Veino is the pick to consider when its Tallinn location, casual dress code, evening hours, Star Wine List (2024) recognition match the kind of night you want.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Veino sits on a quiet, cobbled run in Tallinn’s Old Town and reads like a list-first wine bar. The surrounding medieval streets and narrow, old buildings give the room a historic, charming backdrop, but the tone is restrained rather than theatrical—the street empties early and the atmosphere stays quietly focused. The imprimatur of three consecutive Star Wine List awards signals a disciplined, sophisticated approach to curation, so the mood feels more like a serious European wine hideaway than a bustling tourist spot. It’s intimate and composed, with the list doing much of the talking.
Best For
This is a place for evening visits where wine selection matters. Its location on a quieter Old Town lane and its concentrated, award-winning list make it well suited to low-key date nights, focused wine conversations, or relaxed after-work meetups for people who value a carefully curated selection. The setting reads intimate rather than rowdy, so it’s better for two or small groups who appreciate tasting and talk rather than large celebratory parties. Expect a considered, list-driven experience best enjoyed in the evening.
Ordering Tips
Treat the wine list as the central attraction: the venue’s three consecutive Star Wine List awards indicate active curation and rotating producers. Ask staff to explain current highlights and recent additions—lists here respond to changing vintages and importers—rather than relying on room theatrics. Because the selection is the point of distinction, be open to recommendations from the list and to trusting the house’s sense of producer diversity and value calibration when choosing a bottle or a tasting focus.

Bar context
How Veino compares in Tallinn
Veino is the Old Town pick when location and wine-bar intimacy matter more than a clearly documented food program. Time to Wine Kopli 6 and Time to Wine Rotermanni are the closer cross-shops for drinkers comparing wine-focused options; choose them if the priority is a more branch-based format, choose Veino if Rataskaevu is the right starting point for the night.
Chin Chin is the better comparison for guests who want more of a bar-night feel, while Café and Bar Linnutee is the alternative to check when the occasion is softer and more casual. Veino is easier to justify for a date or a two-person wine stop than for a group that needs food to carry the evening.
Frenn Helsinki Oy is useful only as an out-of-metro comparison, not a direct Tallinn substitute. If the decision is within the city, keep the choice practical: Veino for Old Town wine-bar pacing, Time to Wine for a more obvious wine-bar cross-shop, Chin Chin for a livelier bar direction, Café and Bar Linnutee for a gentler alternative.
