Can you keep a secret? Hidden in the heart of Tallinn, you will find Whisper Sister, a speakeasy-inspired cocktail oasis. The bar will transport you back to the Roaring Twenties, an era characterised by jazz, prosperity, and yes, prohibition. Here, you will experience world-class service and your taste buds are in for a treat with these fine cocktails.
You most likely have heard the stories and tales of the forbidden 1920s. A time when alcohol was prohibited in the United States. But, as we all know, underground bars formed where the owners would tell the crowd to “speak easy” so the police wouldn’t hear the fun. The women running these secret underground bars were called “whisper sisters”. Hence, the name of this not-so-secret bar hidden in the heart of the Estonian capital.
“This is a cosy basement bar which is call-to-enter, with the phone number hidden above the door handle on a golden plaque,” explains Jiří Mališ, assistant manager at Whisper Sister. “On your first visit, we give you a little tour of the bar. We really care about our guests and that they feel comfortable, so we have an emphasis on personal and attentive service.”
While you certainly can dress up when visiting Whisper Sister, you are also welcome to stay casual. The most important thing is that you are in for a couple of craft cocktails and a great experience.
A world of mystery
Entering Whisper Sister is like stepping back in time. It’s the 1920s New York sprinkled with modern, whimsical touches, such as palm tree wallpaper and animal prints. It’s fun and quirky, mysterious and elegant – all at the same time – creating a captivating ambience where you feel like the main character. And the cocktails? Well, they are simply exceptional.
“The cocktails on the menu are our signatures, showcasing different spirits, but we can also make classics, as well as bespoke cocktails tailored to your preferences. And we also serve non-alcoholic cocktails and a more elaborate snack offering,” says Mališ.
The historical bar consists of four different rooms and can host up to 100 guests. Whisper Sister is open seven nights a week and available for private and corporate events of all sizes. You can also sign up for a cocktail masterclass and have a go at mixing your own drinks or try the catering services, bringing an exceptional experience to your event.
Whisper Sister is ranked number 341 by Top 500 Bars.
