Venue Detail
Club Uus Laine
About this venue
Welcome to Tallinn’s brilliantly eclectic, Art Deco-tinted living room where the cultural wave never stops. Uus Laine (meaning New Wave) smoothly rejects the dark, intimidating warehouse vibes of the tech-heavy industrial scene, choosing instead to serve as a warm, unpretentious judgment-free community social club. Tucked elegantly inside a raw, historic Kalamaja building styled with scrap wood, cozy intimate seating corners, and a massive disco ball, it seamlessly shifts personalities depending on the day. It operates as a laid-back intellectual sanctuary hosting legendary international pub quizzes on Tuesdays, live indie rock, and stand-up on weekdays, before completely pushing the tables away to ignite sweaty, disco-pop and electronic dance floor club nights on the weekends. It is wonderfully cozy, highly social, and inherently bohemian.

Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
During their weekday quiz and live gig nights, you can walk straight past the doors seamlessly. On Friday and Saturday nights after 11:30 PM—especially when the dance floor converts into a full club night—expect a swift 5-to-15 minute wait.
Best night
Tuesdays at 6:30 PM if you want to team up and experience their fiercely popular, highly social English pub quizzes. For pure weekend dancing euphoria, arrive around 11:30 PM when the multi-genre sets fully kick into high gear.
Locals vs visitors
A thoroughly open-minded cross-section of local graphic designers, theater heads, university students, the neighborhood queer community, and clued-in global travelers looking for an authentic local hang.
Dress code in practice
Effortless creative casual-chic.
Staff inclusion
Proudly celebrated across the city as a deeply welcoming, explicitly judgment-free safe space. The highly energetic, friendly bar crew and inclusive regulars foster an atmosphere where you are encouraged to show up exactly as you are.
