Café Amigo, famous for being Tallinn's longest-lived and most popular nightclub, is set to close at the end of February 2024. The club, located in the basement of Sokos Hotel Viru, announced its closure via social media, making headlines across Estonia and Finland with various outlets reporting on the news. Opened in 1994, the club has become a cultural staple among both locals and Finnish visitors.

Tarmo Õmblus, the club's manager, cited a clear reason for the closure: a significant drop in customer numbers paired with constantly rising operational expenses. Over the years, as the demographic of club-goers has shifted, the club has struggled to adapt. Õmblus emphasized that the older generation of club members has faded away, without an equivalent influx of new patrons to take their place.

Long-time DJ Kristjan Hirmo noted that Tallinn's club culture is deeply rooted and differs notably from cities like Helsinki. His comments highlight the unique and vibrant nightlife scene in Tallinn, which now faces the challenge of evolving amidst changing trends. The closure of Café Amigo marks the end of an era for Tallinn's nightlife and raises questions about the sustainability of traditional club venues in the face of rapid social change and competition from new entertainment forms.
