  15. DrinkPubInner East

    Juttutupa

    Helsinki's (probably) oldest still operational pub, housed in the "workers' house", a nice old granite house called Graniittilinna. It has historically been the bar of the political left. While Lenin was hiding out in Finland planning the upcoming Russian revolution he was known to frequent Juttutupa; the table he used to sit at is kept in his memory (the one in the back with a good view of the entrance). On Wednesdays, there are often free Jazz concerts. Juttutupa also serves food from the neighbouring restaurant's kitchen.

  17. DrinkCocktail barKamppi and Southwest

    Ateljee Baari

    Despite the name it's more like a cafe, located on top of Hotel Torni, Finland's first high-rise. Excellent views over Helsinki's downtown. You even have a view from the (famous) toilets. Highly recommended. Find the elevator close to the lobby to get there, but be prepared for expensive drinks. If you're on a tight budget, you can just enjoy the view on the elevator level.

  18. DrinkPubCentral

    Molly Malone's

    An Irish pub/nightclub near the Central Railway Station. Popular among Finns and tourists alike. Live music every night, superb English-language cover bands most nights, sometimes a DJ later. If you happen to be in Helsinki at St.Patrick's Day (March 17th) this is definitely where you should go. Avoid the blackjack table unless you're fond of losing money (the proceeds do go to charity).

  20. DrinkPubKruununhaka and Katajanokka

    Vapari

    A rather small pub near the eastern tip of the Katajanokka peninsula. Stylish maritime decor. It's right next to a seniors' home, so many seniors come here often. Beer and cider available on tap but don't expect anything fancy.

    Beer about €8

    Pataässä

    The first karaoke bar in Helsinki. There are two sides in the bar, the karaoke side and a tiny disco side. Also two karaoke kiosks for practicing singing in, suitable for max. two persons each.

  22. DrinkPubSouth

    Erottaja Bar

    A small, consciously crude bar, that used to be one of the primary hipster hangouts in central Helsinki. The bar is now all but deserted by the trendy crowd, and the music turned into the usual fare of hit-list pop, but on the upside the service is friendly and there is ample sitting room at the tables.

    Closed · opens 8 pm

  23. DrinkPubInner East

    Roskapankki

    A Kallio institution. The name stems from the 1990s depression: just invest your money in beer, instead of depositing them at a bank going bankrupt. Live music some nights.
