Gunpowder Cellar of Tartu
The Gunpowder Cellar ((エストニア語:Püssirohukelder)) is a historic building in Tartu, Estonia which now functions as a beer restaurant.
The name is derived from the restaurant's location: it is situated in an 18th-century gunpowder cellar constructed in 1768–1778 by order of Catherine II of Russia on the site of an earlier fort, making use of the natural valley and pre-existing very thick brick walls for added safety. The building served as a gunpowder cellar until 1809 when it was converted to a beer storage room.〔(The complete guide to the Soviet Union, Victor E. Louis, Jennifer M.

The restaurant is a popular meeting place among Tartu's student population. It boasts a regular cultural programme, including a number of plays by the Vanemuine theatre. This programme includes regular live music events.〔
