Panimoravintola Plevna

Plevna Brewery Pub & Restaurant is a true Tampere institution in an 135-year-old weaving hall, which saw the first electric light bulbs in Nordic countries in 1882. The pub is named after a Balkan town where men from Finlayson cotton mills fought alongside Russian troops in the Russo-Turkish War. They serve hearty traditional meals accompanied with their own delicious microbrews, with more sausages and sauerkraut than you can shake a mug at. Try, for example, the arguably best Finnish beer, Siperia Imperial Stout, with hearty mustamakkara blood sausage.
