Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I ordered Maisitipu, which arrived cold. After sending the meal back a new portion arrived warm but was not a promised half a corn chick. Actually it was a wing and a leg, both very slim so together there was about 3 table spoon of...chicken meat. Vegetables very delicious. I almost gave 3 points together but then DJ started his sound check which was more than disturbing😆. Ten points go to the House beer!More

Lets start with the positivs... beer is good, service is good and premises are awesome... thats it!!! We took pork ribs, solyanka and classic french onion soup. Pork ribs- rather cold, wierd taste, does not peel of the bone easy..., solyanka- more like a stew,...with mushrooms... and classic french onion soup- nothing classic about that, wierd soup with some onions and LOTS of white bread on top with a LOT of pharmesan cheese, not very good one also. None of the foods we would take one more time! If u are here- take a beer and eat somewhere else!More

It is already good luck to find place where big group of travellers can have lunch together. Food was OK and they started to bring in 20 minutes until we noticed that our last 5 friends did not get anything and other tables who arrived...after us got their orders... Someone in the kitchen decided that 75% of order performance is already a good rate...More

We were here during our short stay in Tartu. The atmosphere is pleasant and the service is friendly. The menu includes some typical Estonian dishes. The selection of tasty beers is also ok.

The food was ok, but the athmosphrere was unique and very interesting because the restaurant is inside of the old gunpowder cellar. Service was a bit slow but polite and happy.

Favorite pub in Tartu. I like the interior and the food. The trout cream soup was very tasty. I also recommend eating condensed milk donuts.

This place looks amazing because it was a huge underground gunpowder storage vault built in the late 18th century and beautifully preserved. This is not fine dining - it's very much wonderful, heavy tavern food with a German/Eastern European menu. My serve of pork knuckle...was huge - and excellent. It looks set up to handle very large numbers of people and it easily cope with several large tour buses worth of diners. As it happened I was feeling a bit homesick and was able to find a nice bottle of Australian red wine - for quite a reasonable price. I have already suggested that it's worth visiting Tartu just to go here.More

Staying in Tartu for a few days, after dinner in Pierre’s, we strolled through the park to see the old gunpowder factory. We put our head in the door to view the interior and were drawn in by the atmosphere and the music. What a...great evening. When I bought beer at the bar, I asked the name of the band playing. Seems like it was Alar Salurand and Sonimuusikud. We loved their upbeat foot tapping repertoire. Good vibe, good team at the bar and good beer.More

Unique atmosphere and architecture take you back to the end of the 18th century, when the gunpowder cellar was built. Defined as the highest pub ceiling in the world; the brick arches are over 10 m high! Difficult to get bored here since some evenings...feature rodeos, some beer pong, some others live singing or performances... The service is very good, kind and polite waitresses who also speak English. The prices are good and the foods and drinks are tasty. Definitely a must visit if you're in Tartu!More
