The venue, which began as a vintage shop and bar, evolved into an award-winning cultural hub and live music venue over the years, attracting both locals and tourists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Reflecting on the closure,<strong> Luke Teetsov-Faulkner<\/strong>, one of the leaders of the bar, expressed gratitude. &#8220;Thank you to the visitors, staff and everyone who has been involved in one way or another. Unfortunately &#8211; to be frank and honest &#8211; we cannot continue in today&#8217;s economic and political situation and we simply cannot fight more. Sveta has definitely been more than just a bar. We are closing the doors now, but Sveta&#8217;s spirit will live on and who knows what the future will bring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">He candidly cited the challenging economic and political landscape, which has been compounded by the COVID-19 crisis, energy price rises, the war in Ukraine, and gentrification. The closure, though specific to Sveta Bar, underscores broader challenges faced by event organisers and nightlife establishments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">He called for government support to recognise and enhance the cultural significance of nightlife as a potential economic driver and tourist attraction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">You can learn more about Sveta Bar\u2019s final month of events before its closure on January 1, 2024 on their social media pages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; In a sad announcement, Sveta Bar, a popular club and concert venue in Telliskivi, Tallinn, is set to close &hellip; <span class=\"read-more-excerpt\">Read more<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":126698,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[41,47],"tags":[307,13231,13300,13660,20309,20310,20311],"class_list":["post-126697","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-restaurants","category-culture","tag-nightlife","tag-live-music-2","tag-culture","tag-telliskivi-2","tag-sveta-bar","tag-vintage-shop","tag-tallinn-bar"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126697"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126697\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":126704,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126697\/revisions\/126704"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126697"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126697"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
