The John Bull is an English-style pub on the central square that has become the default meeting point for an evening drink in Kuressaare. The choice of Estonian craft beers and imported draught lagers is wider than the exterior suggests, and the bar fills up on summer evenings with an equal mix of locals and visitors.
It is not trying to be anything it is not — no curated cocktail list, no artisanal anything. It is a pub that opens in the afternoon and stays open late, with occasional live music on weekends and a covered outdoor terrace that is usable from May to September.
