Estradà

The voice of city culture, on Vilniaus Street

Estradà positions itself as 'the voice of city culture' (miesto kultūros balsas), and the room lives up to the billing — a cozy, stylish, vibey hub on Vilniaus g. 22 in the Old Town that locals have taken to heart. Its calendar is the draw: a steady stream of live music spanning jazz, blues and open jam sessions on Mondays, the kind of programming that turns a drink into a night out. As one visitor put it, you can't tell what's better — the food, the drinks or the music.

It works across the day, too. Drop in for a well-regarded weekend brunch, or settle in later for expertly crafted cocktails — the Negroni gets singled out as a must-try, and there's matcha for the non-drinkers. The space can get very busy, especially in the run-up to an event, so arriving early is the way to claim a good spot and soak up the atmosphere before the room fills.

Good to know

Estradà suits both a relaxed weekend brunch and a lively, music-led evening, which makes it an easy all-rounder in the heart of the Old Town. If you're coming for a specific gig or jam, check the event calendar and turn up early — the room is cozy and popular nights pack out.

Hours and the programme shift week to week and with the seasons, so confirm current details on the venue's own channels before you go, particularly for live-music nights.

• Must-try: the Negroni; matcha is also on the menu.
• Gets busy before events — arrive early and check the gig calendar.
