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.
