First Impressions
Püssirohukelder is the most touristic restaurant in Tartu. This historical place is over 300 years old, and originally it was used as a gunpowder cellar, which is also what the Estonian name of the bar stands for. The ceiling of the bar is 10.2 metres high, and it is in the Guinness book of records for being the highest pub ceiling in the world.
The interior of the bar resembles a tavern from the Middle Ages: there are a lot of massive wooden tables in the bar and beer pints made of clay hanging on the walls. The place has put a lot of effort on the program with different events and live music. This is one of the only places in Tartu to have karaoke and beer pong nights once in a while.
The Food
The menu offers true tavern food: hearty stews and soups served in hollowed bread. There are also a lot of beer snacks, such as garlic bread, stuffed jalopenos and fried onion rings.
The food menu includes a lot of specialities, such as pork tongue, deer steak and venison salad. Even though the food is not mind blowing, the menu is still unique in Tartu. The crumb cake with vanilla sauce is a tasty dessert worth a try.
The selection of beers in Püssirohukelder is wide and the speciality of the place is the 1 litre beer mug. It is also possible to order ciders, drinks and shots. The prices are surprisingly low for a place this attractive to tourists: the one-litre-beer costs 4.5 euros and a 0.5 litre beer is 2.5 euros.
