Caf\u00e9 Amigo, which opened its doors in 1994, is having one of its last parties this Friday, 6 February, before closing its doors forever. This specific event is a concert by Andrus Muld<\/b>, better known by his stage name Hunt, which means wolf in Estonian. DJ Leander Havi will man the turntables as well.<\/p>\n
When Caf\u00e9 Amigo roared onto the burgeoning Tallinn nightclub scene in the early 90s, its popularity was such that only a year later there was a reality TV show filmed there. While Amigo does have a reputation for being nearly exclusively for Finns, the reality is quite the opposite. In fact, only around 7\u20138% of its club-goers are Finns, with the vast majority in fact being Estonians. Naturally it\u2019s a popular venue for tourists due to its location in the basement of the Hotel Viru.<\/p>\n
Citing rising costs and declining visitors, Tarmo \u00d5mblus<\/b>, the club\u2019s manager, said, \u200b\u200b<\/span>“there used to be parties at Amigo seven days a week, with performers getting stronger with each passing day, now it has gradually grown quieter and only Friday and Saturday remain. Yet the rent is still for seven days.” Covid is also listed as one of the final nails in the club\u2019s coffin, as numbers simply never picked up again after the pandemic. This is just the latest victim in a series of club closures, including the iconic Sveta and Hall clubs.<\/span><\/p>\n
