A great little bar. Incredibly knowledgeable bar-staff, and fantastic cocktails. I walked passed the place several times before realising where it was. The door to the bar is subtly signed to say the least. But well worth it when you get in.

Probably it is just me that found this place very boring. OK if you like cocktails, then maybe this place is for you. I don't. Probably it is good place to sit with your friends and chat and have some fantastic cocktails. For me it was too quiet. Service was terribly slow. I almost died at thirst. Finally, after about 15 minutes of waiting I got my whiskey. I will never go there again.

A very authentic bar, where service and hospitality are of paramount importance. The way you enter is also a special experience. In addition, I found it very oppressive inside, because the bar is located in a (in my opinion) quite dark basement. I understand why people are very enthusiastic, but I suspect I won't be coming here again anytime soon.

I highly recommend this bar.
We managed to find the place with Google Maps. We managed to find places, even though we did not have reservation.
Drinks were really tasty, I took drink called Hygge. That was so strong. Service was 6/5, outstanding.

Hello again..!!
Quite long time without writing.... but I am in tallin now... took sometime to find a place... they recommend us to come to this place... actually the lady that open the door for us was very polite and nice, very clean and nice place... it was empty but nice to be there... we approach the bar and bualaaa as usual there is always somebody that wants to show that he is somebody but actually is nobody ( the bartender) What a uneducated and very rude person..!! Here you go..!! N•1 He told me to don’t touch the drink just because I just want to smell my whisky N•2 my beautiful wife’s friend ask him for a globe glass for her gin and tonic and he responds to her very rude that he will never give a drink to her on that glass ... N•3 we ask for a straw for another drink and bualaaa; he respond again that NO ... I could write more examples but this man doesn’t deserve them .... actually a place like this should not have people like this working in this kind of places... Finally we were forced to leave ..
I hope it helps..

After you eventually find this speakeasy bar...took us a few times after walking up and down the same part of the street..you will be taken into a beautifully decorated and charming speakeasy bar. The staff are knowledgeable, and the man we dealt with was extremely funny and informative. They have a wide selection of cocktails on their menu, but will also make you something off the menu if you ask. We stayed for a couple of rounds and every cocktail we had was well made and tasted delicious.

I've been to a few cocktail bars along the way. Even been to a couple of speakeasy styled ones, such as the Whisper Sister, but I got to say, this is probably the best one I've seen.
Right by a busy street, Whisper Sister is a practically invisible gem, since its basement location is only marked by a tiny plaque with a phone number. Call the number, and they'll open the door, if there's room. I arrived very early, so there was plenty.
Thanks to being the first patron of the day, I got to spend a good while chatting with Jay (?) the excellent bartender, who is also great company. While I did browse the imaginative drinks list, he took it to the next level by making suggestions that weren't even on the (current) menu, suggestions I happily accepted.
While the interior of the bar is just wonderful in its 20's/30's/40's sort of aesthetic, and there are a number of different rooms for different moods, it really is the drinks that set Whisper Sister above and beyond the competition. Many of them do not make a lick of sense on paper, the ingredients just do not mesh...but they do, they really do. This is next level stuff, true skill, actual innovation.
While there are plenty of bars in Tallinn, Whisper Sister will be my choice from now on.

My husband booked us a table here as a surprise on our recent trip and I am so glad he did. After finding the door, we phoned up and someone came down to let us in. Once inside the bar was busy and trendy but the service was great. We had our water glasses topped up constantly. My husband stuck to beer, which he said was good. I had a couple of cocktails which were great. My all time favourite cocktail in the world is a negroni and despite it not being on the menu they made me an absolutely perfect one!

During our recent visit to Tallinn, we decided to try this place for a quick drink. We ended up having a couple rounds that would have gone longer had we not had an early ferry back to Helsinki. The staff was very friendly and helpful in making our drink choices. The drinks were great and the bartender was not limited to their drink menu. Ask what he recommends and you will be quite pleased.

Almost Outstanding speak easy bar in Tallinn. Great cocktails and vibe.
But hard to reach inside - you need to call by telephone before personal open door.
