Sigmund Freud Bar

Tucked away at Sauna 8 in the heart of Tallinn’s charming Old Town, Sigmund Freud Bar offers a creatively themed cocktail experience that blends depth, whimsy and strong spirits. From the moment you step in, you’ll notice that the concept is more than superficial. The décor plays on the psychoanalyst theme (think bold colours, vintage-therapy hints) and the menu takes you on a different route: instead of simply choosing based on ingredients, you select your drink based on mood, humour or personality. For example, the menu is structured around temperaments like “sanguine,” “melancholic,” “phlegmatic,” “choleric.” Cocktails themselves are inventive: designed not only for taste but also experience and presentation. One guide highlights the bar for its “serious sophistication” beneath the playful exterior. Reviewers draw attention to the friendly bartenders, the compact but atmospheric interior, and the fact that the place is ideal for both a first date, a deep conversation or a pre-night-out stop. As one review puts it: “The menu first lists cocktails by personality-types and only at the end shows the ingredients… we hardly ever waited long.” Because of its popularity and intimate size, Friday and Saturday nights can get busy—arriving early or booking ahead is wise. The vibe leans more lounge/mixology than full-blown club, making it suitable for enjoying cocktails thoughtfully rather than just drinking fast. Snacks are offered alongside the drinks. Whether you’re a cocktail lover, intrigued by concept-bars, or simply looking for a memorable night out in Tallinn, Sigmund Freud Bar delivers a playful, stylish and cleverly executed experience.
