Pussirohukelder
About
Püssirohukelder, located at Lossi 28 in Tartu, is a unique destination that blends 18th‑century history with contemporary hospitality. The building once stored gunpowder for the Russian Empire, and its massive brick walls and vaulted ceilings have been transformed into a lively beer pub and restaurant. It earned its place in the Guinness Book of World Records for hosting the highest pub ceiling in the world, rising to 11 metres (36 ft). Beyond its architectural marvel, the venue is a cultural hotspot, hosting regular live music, theatre performances by the Vanemuine theatre, and a wide variety of events that cater especially to Tartu’s student community. Visitors can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with urban bar vibes, full bar service, live entertainment, and a menu featuring mid‑range prices and vegetarian options. A one‑hour visit is typically sufficient to explore the historic cellar, try local brews, and soak up the vibrant ambience.
