The 24 best lounges in Helsinki

Only went because the recent review (photo attached) made me laugh out loud. Definitely can confirm: it is cocktail heaven. The cocktails are absolutely divine - really well crafted - and the vibe is relaxing and enjoyable too. Highly recommend if you like cocktails (and perhaps for conversion to a lifelong cocktail loving if you don't).

Great little cocktail bar. Funky music not loud. Professional cocktail place. A large window overlooking a small park in Helsinki.

This place lives up to the hype—the mixology is absolutely killer. My bartender, Lauri, was operating on a level of expertise usually reserved for secret agents. Not only was the Toronto cocktail ridiculously smooth and complex (legit!), but Lauri also proved to be the ultimate source for critical Helsinki intel, including where to find the rumored legions of tall Nordic blondes nearby. Come for a perfect Toronto, leave with an elevated buzz and highly actionable directions to your destiny. Lauri is a national treasure. Five stars, plus a map to heaven.

We ended up there on the recommendation of a bartender from another bar, who told us it was their last open night before a big renovation. The place had been cleared of furniture, and the goal was to sell off all the alcohol. We walked in and got an awesome "house party" experience — light cocktails were being served, house shots handed out and the vibe was fully set by the DJ A great experience!😌

We ended up here as the skybar at Hotel Torni was closed, I like to try new things but already have my taste/ type of cocktails so went with a specific drink in my mind. It is a mezcalita, which I had one of the best at Negra Tomasa in Tulum or can be a long drink made of mezcal and passion fruit puree, so far The Liar Man in Athens did the best. Here they didn’t have passion fruit, nor purée to my surprise. They had a pre-made cocktail that contained mezcal and passion fruit too, I was hesitant as pre-made cocktails are hardly ever good (one exception is Granazi in Nicosia, Cyprus) at the end unfortunately I let myself to be convinced by the staff. Well the cocktail came from a big plastic bottle and it had nothing to do with passion fruit flavour, it had a very mild mezcal taste, wonder how much alcohol they really put in it plus it came in plastic glass :( I should have listened to my gut feeling, anyway the staff offered to change it, I didn’t want to be too picky and asked for some lime to make it more sour as it was far too sweet. As it is a recommended place with quite good reviews I didn’t want to leave with a bitter mood, we ordered another round from their signature cocktails, good that we did that. The negroni with basil was very good and refreshing but the winner was the C.R.E.A.M -rum based cocktail with raspberry foam on top, it was something special. All in all the place is ok, nothing special in terms of atmosphere or design, small bar, plastic glasses are a shame, also normally better cocktail bars serve you a small portion of salty nuts or snack next to your drink, I was missing that. Staff was very friendly thought and offered me a 10% discount on my bill for the pre-made cocktail I didn’t like.

Very nice place. They even can make custom Drinks not on the menu. Very good service and knowledge. Nice Atmosphere. Would be my goto cocktail bar if i would live here.

Amazing cocktails, very up to new tendencies, staff very attentive and very polite. Really good job on the carbonations and amazing vibe, small cozy bar with the best vibes ever

From the moment you step inside, this speakeasy delivers a playful yet atmospheric experience. The dim lighting sets just the right tone—intimate without feeling gloomy—and the music adds to the mood, well-chosen -- and pleasantly unobtrusive. Service was outstanding throughout: attentive, relaxed, and we felt genuinely welcome, though we were walk-ins. The cocktails were a real highlight, both in presentation and taste—creative, balanced, and clearly crafted with care. On their 2025 summer menu there's a modified pina colada -style cocktail, and it's so tasty I had two. Lovely, small courtyard garden. While the prices are on the higher side, the overall quality and experience make it feel justified. A really well hidden gem with real character. We will definitely return.

To be honest I was not expecting that much welcoming and cozy bar! Entrance was passed smoothly :) I really liked the cocktails. Especially "Blissful Bohemian" with nutty, coffee flavours. Anton is a great bartender and chatter. I would highly recommend!

Stepping into Trillby & Chadwick feels like slipping through a time portal into the 1920s. The entrance alone sets the mood—mysterious, secretive, and full of anticipation—like you’re about to join the ranks of shadowy detectives and smugglers. Once inside, the atmosphere is pitch-perfect: dim lights, vintage décor, and an attention to detail that makes every corner feel like part of a carefully kept story. The cocktails are nothing short of outstanding. Each drink is crafted with precision, presented beautifully, and infused with creativity that matches the speakeasy’s character. The music ties it all together, smooth and stylish, enhancing the sense that you’re part of a hidden world far removed from the streets outside. Special mention must go to Alexis behind the bar. Not only does he know his liquors with impressive depth, but he also carries the spirit of Trillby & Chadwick’s legendary detective history with charm and wit. Listening to him weave stories of the bar’s past while mixing a flawless cocktail is part of what makes the experience unforgettable. Altogether, Trillby & Chadwick is more than just a bar—it’s an immersive escape, where every sip and sound is wrapped in atmosphere. A must-visit in Helsinki for anyone who appreciates great cocktails, great storytelling, and a touch of mystery. Here’s the (delightfully pulpy) “history” of Trillby & Chadwick—note it’s a fictional backstory but still a very good one Origins (1898): The agency is said to have been founded in London by Hildebrand Trillby and Ashcroft Chadwick, quickly earning fame for cracking high-profile cases the Metropolitan Police’s Special Branch couldn’t (or wouldn’t) solve. Helsinki office & Prohibition (1924–1932): A Helsinki branch supposedly opened in 1924 to help enforce Finland’s prohibition laws. In a twist, that very office “went rogue” and became one of the city’s most profitable secret bars—hidden in plain sight and never raided. War-time end (1941): After Prohibition was repealed in 1932, the office faded from view and was destroyed by arson in 1941; the culprits were never found. Rediscovered files (late 20th c.): Decades later, building works allegedly uncovered a fire safe with agency journals and the founders’ diaries—material that “revived” the legend. Modern revival as a bar : The story now frames Trillby & Chadwick Detective Agency, a hidden cocktail bar in central Helsinki (run by Son of a Punch). The bar leans into the case-file lore across its menu and décor.

A fun speakeasy, once you figure out where it is! Go inside and ring the bell. The staff were really friendly and we loved the idea that the cocktail menu was also a puzzle story. The place itself is very cozy, it felt like we had slipped back in time. The cocktails were expensive but very good. You have to leave through the back.

Brilliant place with a lot of style. Every cocktail was balanced and the bartenders know what they are doing. No matter if you take from the menu or you want some classic. The history of the place is very intriguing.

A hidden gem right in the center of Helsinki - perfect for a stylish drink before or after dinner. You have to find the hidden doorbell in a treasure chest before getting entrance - prohibition style :) A lovely dark atmosphere and very attentive waiters for the frame - but the star of the show are the drinks! Truly exceptional composition and flavors! A must visit.

Super cool place! The servers were incredibly friendly and the cocktails were amazing! Exceeded our expectations!!! Phone is broke, press the button 😉

Had a "Tommy's Margarita". Best cocktail I had in a long time. Amazing

Always fun to go a very nice place and great staff. Love the vibes and equipment and as well the private space which is for rent. I enjoyed playing tunes there on Friday was super fun thanks again

Great steaks. Last week I had a business meeting in that restaurant and I was very satisfied regarding service, meat quality and Ambiente. Only the price for beer is quite high. But I think that's everywhere in skandinavia when you come from the beer country Germany ;P

Really nice food and really cool place. There is a bar with a connected restaurant. So you basically have two options here. But I suggest you get some food here as well as they make some really good steak!!! Definitely worth reserving a seat at least during evening times and especially on the weekend. But definitely all worth it. Also a food wine menu and other nice and colorful cocktails!

Great music. Good cocktails, especially the whisky sour. Amazing atmosphere on the terrace located inside in the yard.

Ginger Martini nicely made. My first time trying the drink and it was amazing. Definitely coming in one of my favorite cocktails. The atmosphere is super nice.

They actually have a cabin to dry age the meat they sell! Hope to get a chance to try a taste one day. Good service, nice interior.

Nice bar to eat, drink and chill during the day and lovely parties with nice music and deejays to have fun during the evening. Fresh and delicious food and drinks, perfect for summer. Very attentive service staff. Recommend this place.

I visited this bar or club on time. It looks very nice inside and the music was great. Pop mainstream, new songs and great remixes. If you're into this kind of music it's the best place to dance. At least this music was played the time i visited the place. I wouldn't recommend this place to someone who wants a quiet place to chat but rather to someone who wants to party. Prices of drinks normal expensive Helsinki prices.

The atmosphere in Holiday is like none other! It’s the best terrace in Helsinki with the best DJs and I really recommend trying their drinks - the Mexican bartender kills it every time! Not to mention the best host/butler in town always taking everybody into account and lifting the Holiday spirit. The food is amazing and many of the dishes are best shared but in my opinion the best part about Holiday is the way the whole experience makes you feel like you actually are on a vacation. 🥳

I ordered 3 whisky sours, they added some drops I have no idea what they were. I asked what they were and they treated me like a rapist. Rude, unfriendly, overwhelmed. Go somewhere else who treats you nicer. Avoid.

3rd time here. No disappoinments. Food is fresh, tasty, with a twist and service is friendly, relaxed and always there when you need. Octopussy in Finland ? Yes and worth testing. Softshell crab? Even more so. Desserts... Only one - soft ice cream. And the terrace is one of the most sunny ones in the whole city.

The poke bowls were great. The tofu and tempeh were very tasty. Theres a selection of interesting and different drinks. The terrace is fantastic in the summer and is located in one of the most beautiful spots of Helsinki. Good for either drinks or food.

The place is a joke, their menu a scam. The great location guarantees there'll always be people regardless of what they do - so they don't. Drink selection very limited, and what they have, consistently overpriced. When I went there with some people, there was nothing on tap and the only lager was sol [!] and only one IPA. 16cl rosé (a good one, yes but cost) 15 €, a white 14. Some of us hadn't eaten anything so unfortunately we had to order something from the small and uninviting menu, once the kitchen opened at five o'clock. I was told after ordering and paying, that the "food" would take 40 minutes in coming, which it did. Of course I wouldn't have ordered anything, had I known that when making the order. The menu is divided into 3 sections: small, medium and large. I took a medium one: tomato sliced up and swimming in a pool of olive oil (and presumably anchovy that I didn't taste). Don't really see how that takes 40 minutes in making. A friend took a LARGE one. A wild herb gnocchi. It was a very small green mess on a plate. Unfortunately we didn't take a photo, but it was quite sad, and not any larger than mine. Also swimming in sauce that couldn't be eaten without a slice of bread or a bun that wasn't included. Mine cost 15 € the other one 20. One would expect to get something for that price to tie hungry people over for a half an hour but didn't. The other terraces by the asa around the market square aren't much better. Go just a little bit further and you'll be ok.

Kinda disappointed with the music system there. No bass and 1 room had 4 speakers and the other had only 1 what the hell is that I've got a better sound setup at home than this. The DJ was also off and the headcount was quite low too. Had high hopes but turned out to be a disappointment. You've to pay security + entrance which depends on the event normally 15-20 eur. The staff was nice they also have an outdoor terrace too.

Fraudulent advertisement. According to their website, there is 5€ tickets when coming before 10.30. However, when you get there on time there is such a long line that it is impossible to actually get those tickets. Seems to be just a trick to lure customers into their club at an early hour and charge the normal expensive entrance anyways. Would not recommend.

Same concepts as ääniwalli and stidiläs. Guud raundapauts for weekends. First go kaiku have fun, when its time to take hikings from kaiku go to stidilä after stidiläs i would recommend pataässä and from ther to ääniwalli. After that you go working on monday with smile on your face

Yo, it's gone bad. I bought my ticket way advance, and still had to compete with people who hadn't bought the ticket. I was in the line for 1h. Bar tenders have no glue what they are doing, but the sec people were nice and pro. I want that Kaiku will remain safe, but god it's awful present day

One thing was problematic in Kaiku. The stairs were terrible where you came in, I almost fell down because I cannot see the floor and stairs were very steep. Otherwise it was quite an experience.

I felt like I was in BASIC Instinct movie club!

Ver long queues while the place inside is almost empty!

A complete disappointment. The advertisement claimed a mix of international music yet only russian songs were played. both the entrance fee 20 euro and the jacket fee 4 euro is a joke. definitely not a place I would visit again

A bad experience. Went on a Taylor Swift night. Ofcourse paid entrance fee + €4 to keep your bag. The WC situation was pathetic and they have only kept two WC accessible for 50+ girls on a TS night. Was charged €4 for a glass of water (I am not even sure it is was the price, or was I cheated). Will never be back here again.

The place was very overpriced for the service they provided. They assumed that just because we were dancing, we must have been drunk, and even tried to charge us double, the atmosphere was boring, and everyone we met there said they regretted coming. Overall, not worth the money at all.

The music was great and the vibe was great as well. The security guard at the entrance was as rude as anyone can be, and they demand you to pay a 4€ fee to leave your jacket, even if you don't have a jacket to leave. When I asked why the answer was "everyone pays" in the most rude way possible. The information that you have to pay 4€ to get in isn't anywhere, you only know once you pass the first security guards to show your ticket.

Awful club. Entrance on a DEAD week night cost 20€ and drinks (0.3L beer) starting from 10€. Bad music, rude staff. I’ve been to multiple bars and nightclubs all over the world and this has got to be one of the worst experiences ever. AVOID AT ALL COST

They play shitty music. Song transition sucks. Club looks Nice but wont go again. Beverages like everywhere else. Something extra is just View from terrace.

Like today 5.10.25 they said the club was open..came all the way but was closed ..be organized

I was appalled when visiting this establishment. The staff were rude and indifferent, and the security guards were extremely rude to me and my partner. On top of the bad customer service, the venue it self had a myriad of fire, and crowd safety hazards which I immediately noticed as an environmental inspector. It is beyond my understanding how this restaurant is even able to legally operate under these conditions. Due to this woeful and gross neglegence on behalf of the staff and security personnel, I have filed a formal complaint with the fire inspectors office, and KYMP.

I'm amazed how nobody in these reviews is mentioning the staff cutting alcohol with water or simply not putting alcohol in drinks. Had one of the worst nightclub experiences here, burned 200€ on drinks without getting drunk, don't make the same mistake I did. Edit: I contacted the owner as requested below and haven't received an answer for them. It's just an attempt to save face while it's a known fact, for over two decades, that in this place, you don't always get what you're paying for.

Normal place. Nothing special White wine 16 eur Glass. In Spain 🇪🇸 I'm buying a bottle in Restaurant. For this overprice tag )

I will give zero point if possible. Arya starr' event on 4.11.23. The worst service ever. Rude security, very very rude woman at the gate and agressive. Very very bad customer service. People were bribing to go. Strange thing to see in Finland. We were queuing for more than 1 hour in the cold with tickets that were bought in advance. The event is supposed to be sold out. Why were they selling tickets at the gate. Even the VIP queue was not flowing. Poor management, no person to direct us to the VIP area. The VIP area was overcrowded, poor visibity of the stage from the there and you can't hear the music well.

4.11.2023 Ayri Starr event: Bad organization for get in, rude customer service, you pay more for get less with the VIP ticket, even you get ticket in advance doesn’t mean you get in!! People with out tickets was getting in because they know somebody from security! And then people with tickets couldn’t get in! The app for the tickets was bad too, you can’t do an up that the customer can link him self in, and then in the door don’t let you in because the ticket look like used already!!! Ones inside nobody explained where is the VIP area, maybe because they know is a fares VIP area, worst experience ever, we didn’t get to see the artist, the sound was bad, so we paid more for get less. We pay 70€ for long cues in could, 0 service, bad experience and a lot of more money for the drinks.

The K-pop party was so cool, good music and good DJ. The place was spacious and it looks nice. The workers were polite and helpful.

Went to a private event that was paid in advance, but before we could enter we had to pay an extra fee for "security & wardrobe" even if you didn't have a jacket or so. Halfway through the night, when a friend wanted to put her sweater with her jacket (that was already in the wardrobe), they wanted to change her again. Staff is not friendly. This place is a rip-off, don't go here.

Extremely tasty cocktails and i really liked the story - its a bit 'big' for a cocktail place but still felt intimate enough. - My GF had the Sex in the Forest and it was amazing - really great and i also had a penicillin which was brilliantly made and gave me a content feeling. The other two cocktails we had we have forgotten as they were ok but nothing too out there - prices were as you expect

Gin and tonic: awesome. Low seating: terrible. Because we didn't want to sit at high tables w/ dangling feet we wound up at a low table right at the back end of the bar near the glaring refrigerator. Seats were way too low for tall folks to be comfortable but the drinks were good so we had 2-3 rounds before calling it a night. They were mid-menu shift so I'd be interested to see what the new take is after the classic/new twist of 70s cocktails that we saw that night in late August 2016.

Finland's best rated cocktail restaurant and for a good reason. Excellent knowledge amongst cocktails and has an everchanging menu with thematic selections and some interesting info.

I don't know what is happening that this place is no longer open, but it had the best cocktails in town! Service was always professional. Drinklist original. My favorite place for having drinks in Helsinki!

Exquicite service in form of introductionary training of 1920 drinks. Super fun group activity!

A very profersional cocktail bar. Laid back atmosphere and great for pre dinner cocktails. Tried 4-5 different ones. All made with perfection and love. >My favorite, (for some strange reason, I don't remember the name...) served in a flat, circular litle botle. Belive it was orange slices and coffe beans in it.. Absolutely amazing.

Nordic cocktails are super delicious. The birch cocktail really reminded me of birch, and suomen neito was just out of the world. I like berries so slight bias there I would say.

Lovely little place a stone throws away from the main Boulevard area, they have a fancy drink menu with some interesting cocktails, wines and spirits. Great place to get the night started. ✨🍹

Came to Helsinki for the first time and was staying in the hotel that the bar is connected to. The bar itself is very nice. The drinks were great and a wide variety of choice. But what made the experience great was the people. The core team of 4 that work there were great. Happy to have a chat and recommend drinks. Had long conversations every evening with the team. The next time I am back in Helsinki, I know exactly where I will be first 😎👍🏻

The people there are so nice, polite and always helpful. Also the atmosphere is absolutely perfect, with comfy chairs, peaceful atmosphere and just enough light. :)

Drink was ok but I think I got permanent hearing loss. My French business partner was very unimpressed. Thank you but no thank you.

Coctails needs improvement. Service was very good. He was doing his best.

Super chill and cozy while chic, high end bar with exceptionally knowledgeable bartenders. Ask for the Sazerac. You won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely fantastic service, with a smile to boot. The cocktails are nice, a good balance of sweet and bitter, without dipping too deep to either.

Really good food there, they have their own brew beer, really good must try, different style are available. The fish and chips is really good. I can say better then most of the Britainfish and chips, not lying.friendly staff. Must good

Very nice Helsinki beer brewery pub. Big variety of local beers on tap, great cuisine. Friendly staff. If You are beer lover, this is place for you to visit in Helsinki. Recommended.

Nice smash burger and curly fries. Beers are great and very kind staff. IPA is the best or their beers.

Great place to try local beers, very cool building too. Food.menu is short, and simple, with choices that pair really well with beer, the pork ribs are a particular highlight!

Loved the beers on tap. Great place to sit out the rain clouds, right down near the water. Very friendly bartender. Would recommend

Super nice brew pub in downtown Helsinki, offers a good selection of own beverages plus wines etc. Good pub fare! Nice courtyard too for outside dining.

My partner and I came here for a pub lunch and our expectations were far exceeded! We ordered a burger and a shrimp pasta, both of which were delicious and their craft beer was some of the best we have had in Finland. The barman was lovely and the whole place had a great vibe.

A "stylish", "modern" marine spa in a prime location, great for photos, but the comfort level falls short. Only three outdoor saunas, small and packed in the late afternoon. The outdoor areas lack any shelter or storage for towels and belongings in rain. The changing rooms are tiny, poorly cleaned, and get slippery – honestly, I found them quite unsafe. Staff are polite and professional, but completely passive: you have to ask, because no info is offered of their own accord. Overall, a slick concept, but maintenance and service feel underwhelming.

Enjoyed our 1st Finnish sauna here & loved the experience. We weren’t sure how we would cope jumping into the freezing water, but so glad we did it. 2 hours was enough & finished with a swim in the warm pool.

Dared Myself To Visit. Glad I Did. Bring a Proper Attitude, it Gets A Bit Nippy Outdoors. Place is Spacious, Came on a Weekday and It Was Just Enough Busy to Feel Comfortable. Outdoor Pool is Great For Laps. Cold Plunge is Exhilarating. Saunas Provide Just Enough Release and Random Nooks and Spots to Relaxe Offer A Relaxing Environment. Would Gladly Come Back Again. Group Friendly. Would Visit Again. There is some construction outdoors but it didn't lessen the experience. 💯 This is a locals favorite.

This is the ultimate Finnish sauna in Helsinki. Two mixed saunas, one all male sauna. one female sauna offer varying levels of heat. The one behind the cafe offers no view and is the hottest. My fav is the mixed sauna with port view. The cold pools are two pools about 27degrees celcius today, one for lap swim. The sea pool is about 15degrees Celsius and is pure sea water. I preferred the temperature if the pool and dipped my feet and hands in the cold sea pool They offer shower before and after sauna. Towels and swimsuits are available for rent. Our three hour senior pass cost about 18 Euros The cafe offers accessible open first level overlook to the port area. The restaurant on second level offers a more expansive view. This is the place to experience the true Finnish sauna, the health concept developed and perfected in Finland.

This place is amazing!!! I had a long layover in Helsinki and visited Allas Pool for the first time. Was great to experience the sauna culture and jump in their ocean water. But the reason for the 5 star review really is that I forgot my daypack at Allas when I returned to the airport… after emailing their friendly staff they agreed to hold my bag for a month before I could come back on my return flight (which also had a long layover in Helsinki!). I was shocked that they would do this for me. Fantastic service, great way to experience Finland. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone, even if you’re just on a long layover!!

We had high hopes for the Finish sauna experience, but we came a little disappointed after spending a couple of hours in the Allas Pool center. The saunas were VERY busy, so much that we had to wait for people to get out before we could get in. Keep in mind they only have 3 coed saunas, so that limited our options. Perhaps it was so busy because it was a Saturday at the beginning of summer. Maybe it would be less crowded during the working week.

Expensive but beaut spot. Changing rooms are too small and I couldn’t imagine doing it in the winter time as there’s very little shelter. But the concept is v cool. And the sauna with the view of the harbour is awesome.

Stunning spot for a drink in the sun and a good, if expensive, selection of drinks. Music too loud and toilets dirty unfortunately (easy for the establishment to fix if they wanted to). Still worth a visit if you're in the area.

This was hands down a really good place for the scenery and drinks with dessert. Everyone is so friendly, you get to see a lot of dogs, and the wine here hits the spot!

Good place but Ofcurse we have to see the same dancers which is in loyly and holiday and tiatteri enough please. Keep it simpleeeee just hire pmore people to clean the toilet were disgusting.

Great bar with a very relaxed vibe

Amazing site sight place, it was my 6th time to Helsinki this May 2018 when I first visited this place strongly recommended to go have a walk along the sea side then stop and rest relax at this one ... drink some coffee or whatever you like, chit chat with your company.. enjoy the sun .. have Fun 😊👍

Really nice experience right next to the sea. We went on a Sunday evening, no queue and no problem finding a table. Yes, the drinks are expensive but you pay for the view. It’s really worth a visit. We tried the cocktails Moulin Rouge and High by the sea. They kindly added extra syrup to make them sweeter for us. Both were delicious!

The comfortable chairs have been removed, which is ashame. But the location is still great and now you can get Hanko sushi there.

very good position close to the airport, entrance a bit difficult to find because it is at first floor, rooms more or less okay but forget the restaurant. I spent more than 1 hour waiting for my food and after that long time I quit and went back to my room without any dinner. To be noted that the restaurant was almost empty and this adventure started at 8:15 in the evening, so not that late.

Check-in was a little slow but fine. The room was clean and generally comfortable, though the bath was small and awkward to use. My main issue was the lack of tea and coffee facilities in the room. There’s a mini bar, but no complimentary hot drinks – something I’d expect as standard, especially as a UK visitor. TV options are limited if you’re not local. I had to pay for a VPN just to watch Sky on my phone, although the free Wi-Fi worked well – I streamed live darts for over 3 hours without any issues. We ate in the hotel restaurant. I had a burger, chips, and a beer which came to €28. The burger was decent – a double smash cheeseburger with bacon – and the onion rings we ordered for the table were very good. Chips were fine. My colleague had the steak, which arrived a little cold, and the potatoes seemed like they’d been sitting under the salamander for too long. He also had a brownie for dessert, which he’d been looking forward to but found quite underwhelming. Overall, it’s okay for a short stay, but for the price and brand, I expected a few more touches – especially hot drinks in the room and a better dining experience.

Wonderful hotel. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, great service and a stones throw from the terminal. Looking forward to my next stay.

Very basic level airport hotel with friendly staff and excellent location. The breakfast is served already at 4 AM. The rooms are tidy but quite small.

VERYYYY BAD!!! This is my first experience service in Finland this bad. We booked for two nights and after one night: one of curly hair lady (maybe she is cleaner) grab out my luggage, privacy things inside, they throw out of the room. I went to receptionist to complain what happened and they say we are wrong they wait for 2 hours,,, (whyyyy we booked 2 nights!!!!!!! We out for lunch!!) And blame my husband make mistake not give not to them because different booked (whatttttt the hellllllll.. for sure when we checkin we talk already with the men in reception!!!!! OMG, i have small baby with me, she shouldn’t have this treatment!!!! We are here not for free, before you grab out our luggage just need to call!! All of them privacy!! They found our booking and grab back our luggage to the room, but the room situation very bad (look the pictures) Anw, the door to Sauna and gym alsoo couldn’t work.. just avoid this hotel! Theres 2 more hotel close by, choose hilton or clarion.

Great hotel with a great location just 2min walk from the terminal. Food is good and price’s are fare. Breakfast start’s all-ready 4:00 am.

The hotel is just across the street. It is very clean, not noisy, rich and diverse breakfast, also available starting 04:00 am.

Absolutely fantastic service at Flyaf Bar Helsinki! Not only did we have a great time, but our dogs were also treated wonderfully. They even received small treats, which made the experience extra special for us. The staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome, whether on two legs or four. Highly recommend this place for a cozy and pet-friendly outing in Helsinki! 😊

SUPER SUPER friendly staff! Felt welcome the very moment we stepped in. As far as customer service goes, it can't get any better. Love the vibe too. Makes one feel totally comfy. I could stay here forever!😁

The owner is super friendly and welcoming! Mixed crowd of locals and visitors. Good selection of beer and cocktails.

great bar in the heart of Helsinki, easy to get to, great customer service, moderate prices, great socializing bar. every day of the week you find something different to do. from board games to bingo and the excellent musical selection of the various DJs if you've never been I recommend you try it .

Nice bar with extravagant Cocktails Sunday half price for cocktails (7,5 Euro) and Sangria. Pleasure to be here! + Free wifi 🛜

🌟 Let's cut to the chase: FlyAF in Helsinki is a gem. Tucked in the city center, it's the kind of place where the drinks are smooth, the conversation flows, and the owners add a personal touch that makes you feel like a regular from day one. I swung by a while back and those nibbles? Spot on. Now, let's talk about something that's been bugging me—people who act all surprised by bar prices. You know the drill: they order, enjoy the service, and then suddenly it's like they never saw the prices on the menu. C'mon folks, it's not a mystery novel. If the digits make you dizzy, chat with the manager over a drink or stick to your home bar setup. Simple as that.

One of the rising star bars in Helsinki. The owners have equally as fun as their customers. The music hits all genres. The cocktails are a must and the prices are very reasonable. You can not explain the cool vibe here, you need to experience it.

Wow perfect rock n roll bar!!! Had a quick one but loved everything about it!! Back soon, kiitos

Small rock/punk bar with live venue downstairs. Not very busy the night we went but there are plenty locals were friendly and we enjoyed the bands. If you enjoy this place do go and check out the punk museum, it was the guy there that recommended this place to us.

Place where with rude staff, they force you to pay for narikka even if you have no coat and payed an 25 euro entrance ticket, and then they want you to pay extra when you want to go to smoke, definitely should be illegal. Also went to pirpauke show, place got full and you won't be able to see anything, avoid this bar

Cosy place in downtown Helsinki. Good selection of beers, rock music and great decor. Staff very friendly.

Hard rock being play and lots of music memorabilia on the walls. Defo a place if you like your music hard. Friendly staff and nice beer.

Nice rock bar. I visited this place on a Wednesday evening and it was not empty but also not too busy. The staff were friendly. Good prices as well. During the summer there are tables outside.

We went rather early so it was quite empty. Happy hour prices, 3.50 specials. Really nice environment, lots to look at. The bathroom grafiitti reminded me of metal bars back in the US. We didn't stay for the music downstairs, maybe next time.

Fine location just a few minutes walk from the terminal along the bus area parking. Airport had excellent Hilton signage. Wonderful breakfast. Everything you would want plus more. Be sure to order your coffee from the waiter person. All staff were extremely nice and helpful, can’t say enough, Kittos As a Hilton Honors member you can get late check out which worked perfect for us Beds and linens were very clean, fresh and very comfortable but AC never seemed to cool the room and it was humid and too warm at night with heavy bedding. Shower is wonky and leaks under the door. RANT: Not sure why European showers never seem to work but the place has a huge beautiful bathroom and a small shower with weak water, leaky door, shower head that won’t stay elevated and saturated bath mat. The good is that there is plenty of hot water. Also Hilton please get linen carts with soft pneumatic tires and not loud hard wheels at 05:00. Would like a couple bottles of complimentary water please and an earlier opening sauna, you can close it earlier too Dinner was wonderful, fillet was cooked perfectly. Will definitely stay here in the future. See photo of map on how to get there. Google maps has you walking up the vehicle ramp from the departure terminal.

The room is clean, the executive lounge could have offered more food though. When we went there at 9pm, there is no more alcoholic drinks, only soft drinks and coffee. It’s enjoyable to stay in the lounge though. The breakfast is good; our kid love the pancakes making machine, it was fun and delicious.

Very nice, spacious and comfortable hotel within a short walk from airport terminal. We arrived late last night and were very happy to be able to settle down within 15 minutes. Our room was equipped with its own sauna that gets warmed up within 45 minutes. Stall is helpful and welcoming and breakfast was good. And the price is very affordable. Definitely a good choice for a first or last stay in Finland.

Great airport hotel. Room amenities were amazing in our Junior Suite, including a sauna (pictured - with low quality photo) and 1.5 baths. The hotel is focused on airport travelers, so the cafe opens at 3:30 AM so you can grab a bite before you walk over to the main terminal to catch your 6:00 flight. Easy access to trains that take you into and around Helsinki. Definitely worth a look. Clean room, comfy beds and pillows, and very quiet.

Stayed one night after flying in from the US. Service was top notch. So easy to stay with 2 kids. The front desk had a scavenger hunt and there was a playroom for the kids. The restaurant was good. We had both dinner and the buffet breakfast. Would definitely stay again if needed.

The convenience to the airport is what makes this hotel ideal for a short stay. The staff are friendly and the rooms are clean. The update in 2012 has made the rooms more modern and accessible. Typical standard rooms come with two twin beds. We requested and received a king size bed which was quite comfy. The body shampoo and soap products were good. The executive lounge was small and offered evening appetizers along with wine and beer. There are few quirks about the room that show a lack of attention to detail. For instance, the shower has great water pressure but there’s not a handle to close the shower door from the inside therefore water poured onto the floor outside before I could pull it shut. The other minor design flaw was the lid on the tissue box didn’t fit so was just angled inside making it hard to grab one tissue. Also, the clock in the gym didn’t work. Overall, it’s quite adequate and comfortable. The breakfast buffet has a wide selection of options and space for seating.

I stayed at the Hilton Hensinki Airport on a short trip to the area. It was a 15 minute walk from my gate to my room. I had access to the lounge on the upper floor. It provided nice views and access to good food and drinks.

Was there yesterday. My shoe broke 😂 and there was an amazing security guy/barman Antonio ( I think ) who came to rescue and got me a new pair of shoes and I felt like a princess. Thank you so so much! Amazing service♥️

Went to see a metal gig here. Great venue. Excellent sound and comfy seating options

Nice and polite place for dance and live concert.

Love this place! Cozy theater with tons of charm. Especially recommend the yearly Singa karaoke party during Slush

Forced 4€ coat check. Was told it is “house policy.” Seems like a clear money grab. Hung our two coats on one hook and charged me 8€. Rip off. Do not go here or leave your coat at home.

An excellent place, just like everything else in Finland!

Was here on Saturday night and it was so crowded! Super fun and the DJ also knew to play what music!!! Entrance was 13e and the staff also super nice! will definitely come back here!

Good place for live music. Saw Jussy and the Boys here, they were quite good and it was nice to hear music outdoors. You can only order at the bar, no service at the tables. They have heaters and blankets to keep you warm. Didn’t eat here but the burgers looked good!

We had three course fine dine next to the band, I felt so good and it’s a must visit place. The service is top notch and loved the taste of the food

Good vibes. If you are into swing and old classic jazz, then this is a good place. There is also a little space for dancing (Charleston, ragtime, etc....). During the week there are also free entrance nights (Rock and roll or jazz/swing local performers). Drink prices are quite high (Carlsberg 0,4 = 7,5 €) but it's a common thing in Finland.

This is by far some of the nicest food i ever ate the ribs where lovely and tender just fall of the bone. Delicious burger and coleslaw so good would highly recommend this place. The staff where very friendly and location is excellent with great music and nice atmosphere . Well worth the money

We found out about this bar on the Internet and became interested in live music. We visited it on a Saturday evening in June. Most of the tables outside were occupied, but we found one near the grill. I do not advise you to do this because there was a rather strong smell of lighter fluid for about half an hour. Additionally, there was no live music, but the atmosphere was quite cheerful. The food and drinks are a bit more expensive than you might expect.

The vibe of the place was amazing and lived up to the expectation. First night we reached at 11 -no music (ends at 10) and no food served (kitchen closes at 1030). It's a walk from Bulevardi, closer to the parliament, take Lime :) We went back the next evening at 8 and the place was packed. It's free seating and because it's the summer - the entire setup is outside. The music was fine but the food not so much. Got the veggie burger, and it's the local version of beyond meat. Beers 60DK, awesome pricing for a live music vibe.

Wonderful place with good quality music selection and weekly jam sessions. Two floors, unfortunately only the first floor was open, where there's a small stage with a piano and guitar/bass amplifiers. You have microphones as well for singers. They give a free drink card for everyone that plays in the jam, as it should be. Maybe it's not the cheapest place for a beer in Helsinki but it's definitely worth it, good setting and good vibes also for non-musicians!

Excellent cocktail bar in Helsinki with a spécial atmosphère where phones are not allowed. Much appreciated !! Service is super nice as well. Cocktail are super good but very expensive. A big ice cube in the glass makes the overall quantity very pricy. I guess it’s part of the whole setup.

The service is very rude and drinks very overpriced and pretty average. The vibe and playlist are good though and I like the idea. Although, no mobile payments seems too strict as no one takes their wallet with them anymore (otherwise I do agree with the no phones policy).

My favorite bar in Helsinki with delicious and interesting cocktails plus cozy speakeasy vibes. Depending on the cocktail it could also come with a small snack. I think we even had a mini runeberg tart paired with a cocktail one time. This is absolutely a must visit when my friends are visiting and I always have it on my list as a recommended spot for drinks. Also they are incredibly nice and welcomed us in even when the bar was closing in 20 minutes and we got to squeeze in a round of drinks.

It was one of the best experiences I've ever had in a cocktail bar. Amazing cocktails! Really complex, multi layered taste! Most of the time going to a cocktail bar alone is very boring but in this case great bartender explained every single cocktail. He was talkative which I like very much. Otherwise I feel like they dismiss me by saying "drink your cocktail and get lost". I felt very welcomed. I would definitely love to come again 👌

Nothing special here. Many other places that are better nearby, like Liberty or Death. Watered down iced tea (supposedly it's a cocktail) for ~20e. Also, putting your phone in a locked bag is really silly since there is nothing special inside to take photos of anyway, except bad cocktails. Plus, when you are ready to leave its a real pain to wait on them to come unlock your photo for you. Go elsewhere.

Cocktails werent that great. The whole build up, hard to find, doorbell, greeted outside of the bar could work well if it's worth it. Now it was just pretentious.

We walked past the entrance twice before finding it because we didn’t realize it was sorta speakeasy style. We rang the doorbell and waited to be greeted & were told of their strict no phones policy. We were happy to comply and were not disappointed because these are truly some of the best cocktails we’ve ever had. I’ll admit I was a little skeptical when I saw the price points but the value is definitely worth it. The bartenders were friendly & helpful as well. We’ll absolutely come back here while we’re in Helsinki!

Great steampunk themed bar. Music wasnt the greatest choice while i was there but great vibe

Great cocktails, nice people, great interior design.

Really nice and cozy place. Their theme is really interesting and different from a usual bar. Ask for their in house gin. It is one of the best gins I had. However the drinks are a bit pricey and it is difficult to find a table on weekends, so make a reservation if you want a place to sit.

Good place for a drink....reasonably priced. T

Good service, nice staff. Great drinks. The atmosphere is also very interesting with an airship as interior decoration by the bar. You get a bit of a steam punk feeling in the bar. They also have old lie detectors on the bar counter. Too bad they're not in use anymore :p

The most beautiful bar I've ever visited. They also make insane drinks! 💜👌

Awesome setting. Drinks are decent but quite highly priced (10-13 Euros). The ambiance and setup is one to visit for definitely so don't let the pricing put you off for at least 2 rounds!

Great place for individuals and small groups looking for a place to meet in the afternoon, start the night, or end their evening ... at 0200. Alise was an excellent bartender and hostess. The shots I ordered ranged from €7.50 to €10. Over a long evening, I might spend €35-€50.

HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this bar by chance. Unfortunately, the experience left us deeply unsettled. First, the bar operates without table service, which is fair enough, it’s their policy. It’s not my personal preference, but that’s fine. Drinks? Average. Nothing particularly memorable, but nothing outright terrible either (I had a white russian and my boyfriend had a beer). It’s a place that survives on gimmicks rather than quality. The much-hyped “drink roulette wheel” might seem quirky on social media, but it hardly justifies a visit. You’d be better off letting a randomizer on Google choose your next drink. However, what made this visit unforgettable, not in a good way, was the profoundly uncomfortable atmosphere. At one point, a visibly drunk man in his sixties, scruffy with a beard, walked in laughing and loudly ordered a “Naughty School Girl”. The sheer vulgarity of that moment made my skin crawl. To add to the unease, the walls are plastered with appalling decorations that only amplified the sense of a place that celebrates outdated, crude humor. I voiced my concerns to the staff, but the environment made it abundantly clear that this establishment caters to a certain crowd—a crowd I find deeply troubling. The entire experience left me feeling disgusted and unsafe. After all this me and my boyfriend left immediately, appalled and speechless. !!! To any women considering visiting: don’t. Spare yourself. If anyone finds this kind of atmosphere “fun,” that alone speaks volumes. For us, it was a horrifying experience that I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. Photos are attached below to give further context to what we saw.

Saana and Julian are the most wonderful bartenders! Their customer service attitude was above and beyond! This place is legendary and a must visit!!!

HES A THUG. DONT GO. STRAIGHTAWAY REFUSED FOR HAPPY HOUR PRICES. POOR SHOW. BARTENDER FIRST ACCEPTED THE PRICE AS 13 EUROS FOR A HAPPY HOUR RATE. LATER DENIED. AS FAR AS EXPERIENCE IS CONCERNED, EVEN 2 EUROS PER DRINK IS ALSO EXPENSIVE AT SUCH A PLACE. CHEATSTER

Drinks were perfect and Ida is AMAZING at her art (new friend!). Love the concept and variety of drinks. She makes drinks Really cool bar!! Awesome playlist 🙂 HIGHLY recommended!

Spin the wheel and take the shot you get 😝🤘. Super cool, small, cozy shot station 😎 And cocktails are breathtaking ❤️ Amazing staff, everyone feels welcome there 😎

What a fun place! We stumbled upon it by chance, just as we were looking for a bar to take a few shots of vodka before party. What a nice surprise it was. We spent 4 nights in Helsinki, at a dance event. For 3 of those dance nights, we prepped at the bar!

Best pub in Helsinki. Hands down. But if you're nae craic. Dont bother coming.

Found this place by chance on and loved it. Very welcoming and of course you can’t go anywhere in the world without bumping into a Glaswegian. Thanks for looking after us, the good tunes and the very very very happy hour

A very local place. Good beer, but completely empty at 17 on a Friday. Music was off, but when I order my beer and sit down like a man in the 60s-80s alone with my beer dealing with my deepest thoughts, then the barman put on the proper music (also somewhere in 70-80s) So Finnish in a way... And so lonely too but anyway a experience to tell.

Friendly bar with music to accommodate all genres. Well worth stopping by. 😃

Amazing irish folk group Helsinki Harps every 3rd Thursday 😘🤩😍😜🥰🙏

The best local pub in Kallio. Good vibes, good people, affordable drinks and dog friendly!

Cosiest spot, often friendly Irish Scots and English in attendance.

If you look for the entry door outside of shopping hours, it is on the right of Pupu where you can take an elevator to floor 7 and walk 1 floor up to the 8th where the bar is and you can have an overpriced drink. They do not have a cocktails list but they may make you something if you request it. We went on a Wednesday at 9pm and it was rather empty. The place is nice and has good ambient music. Will repeat.

Tourist trap. 10 Euro for entering the site. Bartenders that try to charge you regular fees in the happy hour and security that does not let you enter the site again after leaving for seeing the restrooms (which can only be entered via the elevator and not the stairways).

Wednesday night. DJ mixing quite wierd, overall music is way too loud. No people but music still pounding so that it would be packed club, so can’t hear anyone talking. Speakers are also muonted in a way that even emphasize the volyme.

Last time I visited there, the staff deliberately ignored some waiting customers to serve the others who just arrived, during the daytime when the place had just a few people at best.

It's ok. Good place and great bartender, but pricey. Has an entrance fee at the door. That was a bummer.

This is one of the greatest rooftops in Helsinki, it’s a must!

Great view, good cocktails and friendly Bartenders👍

Urban roof top terrace lounge with special drinks. DJ creating chilling mood. Views to multiple directions also getting sunlight all day and evening. There is a section that offers shelter during bad weather. Check for opening hours, usually closed in the beginning of week.

The host was very friendly, the place is very nice. BUT…as a South American living in Finland, I was very disappointed about the drinks. It tastes very good, but for 13.5 euros. The ice took up 80% of the glass, without decoration and I didn't feel the alcohol at all. It is constructive criticism to improve the experience and make it worth the price✨.

Best rooftop in Helsinki! Closes a bit early due to local regulatioon, but the bartender Anna was amazing ☺️ great service!

Nice chill atmosphere

This bar has good views over Alppila area. Especially you can have a look at Pasila Konepaja area. There are nice seats and tables. The place is somewhat difficult to find, though. Follow instructions to the letter.

Very, very nice rooftop terrace with great views. Feels like Berlin. As long as music volume stays moderate.

It's a great place to have some drinks, a nice conversation and enjoy the views
