The name means out of range, as in no phone signal. The bar delivers on it: a two level medieval cellar at Olevimägi 12 where beer costs about 3.50 euros and nobody checks the time.
Lonely Planet calls it Tallinn's most gloriously grimy dive bar. The description is praise, and the regulars treat it that way.
Downstairs, a vaulted stone bar room coated in stickers and graffiti laid down over decades. Upstairs, a designated smoking room and a couch room that absorbs whoever the night washed in.
Rock and punk run the stereo, with occasional live sets. The patina is the decor; nothing here was designed.
Lonely Planet's census stands: students, Rastas, and rockers unite in all their glory. Local musicians and reportedly the odd university professor round it out.
In Your Pocket calls it the usual last pit stop for people who partied hard elsewhere, so the room peaks after midnight. Before 10pm you can hear yourself think.
Olevimägi 12 sits 200 meters below St. Olav's Church, a short walk from the Viru and Hobujaama tram stops. Hit an ATM first; no cards work here.
