Food and music on a New Town side street
Tempo V39 hides at Vilniaus g. 39, on a side street in Naujamiestis (New Town) at the edge of the Old Town. It bills itself as 'food & music', and that double identity is the point: born from a love of late-night vinyl, it runs on what the owners call slow sips and loud laughter, records spinning until someone says 'one more'. The room is effortlessly cool and stylish, and it works as both a dinner spot and a place to settle in for the evening.
The kitchen is 'Mediterranean with mischief' — sun-drenched, Near Eastern-inspired plates designed for sharing. Think labneh, hummus dressed with glazed chorizo or shrimp, beef tartare, fried polenta with gorgonzola and truffle mayo, pan-fried shrimp with harissa and amba, and heartier options like slow-braised beef cheeks or a chicken Caesar schnitzel. Behind the bar sits an extensive drinks list of natural wines, pet-nat, craft beer and crafted cocktails.
Good to know
Service is consistently praised as friendly and professional, and the venue is pet-friendly. It runs late — open into the early hours on Friday and Saturday nights — with the kitchen closing earlier than the bar, so come for dinner first and stay for the records. The music can get loud once the night gets going, which is rather the appeal. Opening hours and kitchen times vary by day and shift with the seasons, so check the venue's current schedule before you plan a late visit.
- Best for
- sharing plates with natural wine and cocktails, then late-night vinyl.
- Pet-friendly; late hours at weekends, with the kitchen closing before the bar.
- Confirm current opening and kitchen hours with the venue before visiting.
