Tallinn is the last place you would expect to find a Scotland Yard themed pub so we couldn't resist calling in. If, like me, you love quirky pubs you will love this one. The first thing you notice is a huge fish tank with equally big fish, the next thing is the large collection of British police memorabilia on display and for some strange reason two life size statues of the Blues Brothers. After drinking a few of their excellent beers visiting the toilets can be a bit of a surprise with each cubicle having a dungeon doors and the loos made to look like wooden chairs with shackles for your hands and feet. All in all this is a nice, quirky pub with a friendly atmosphere and good...

The food was tasty very well though of, and there was live music which is always a bonus -- but for a place that invests a lot in the atmosphere - the general atmosphere was very unpleasant. There was a fish tank above the stage, lit with bright lights so you couldn't not look at it, and it contained many huge fish swimming in a small confined space. That just made me sad. The staff was unwelcoming and acted like they were doing me a favor by letting me in. They answered questions in mono-syllabic sentences, looked away while talking to me... Generally the place felt off. Wrong vibes. I couldn't wait to finish my food...

Last time here 20 y ago, now went back with a huge group. Had burgers, chicken and stuff. 1st why ask what way you want your burger beef? If frozen then its well done(no point to ask for medium). Chicken snitzel(frozen product). Really... Maybe the beer was only thing what was not frozen...

Service was good and friendly, mood of area as well. Fishtank is way small for the fish. Only airdry in toilet. But as overall looks still cool.

Burgers had issue on huge mass of majonese... But if drunk... Its okay I guess

Totally overprice food, since all feel like...
