The best pubs Finland

The Sirdie pub is a roots pub, Finnish-style, with a friendly old-fashioned jukebox. A real institution in Kallio, far, far removed from the new wave of trendy bars that has swept through the area. The decor is very nice, with a vintage feel, wood, old posters and picture frames. It's even said that little or nothing has changed since it opened fifty years ago! It really is the kind of little local pub, not too well known and a little intimate, with a nostalgic 1960s feel.

The most recent of all existing bars in Marienham, Pub Frans opened its doors in the last week of September 2023. This new addition to the town's rich list of establishments is in fact the takeover of a former pub that closed its doors. No real surprises here: a pleasant room and a selection of beers with an international as well as a very local accent. The venue also broadcasts local soccer matches. We'll have to come back in a few years' time to find out if the gamble has paid off!

In a beautiful setting reminiscent of a bookshop, this bar offers an incredible selection of draught beers, as well as (and above all) whiskies from all over the world. The barman will be delighted to explain the different drinks available to suit your tastes and desires. A relatively recent opening, but one that has already won over its public (especially on Friday and Saturday evenings, when the room is always packed). A great place to discover hops from Finland (and beyond). We recommend it!

In summer or winter, when you're strolling through the streets of Helsinki, perhaps you've already seen the funny sight of this red streetcar where passengers seem to be dancing, having a drink or eating while traveling. If so, don't think you've been fooled: you've simply seen the SpåraKOFF streetcar go by, which is a real streetcar in disguise! Passing through the city's major tourist hotspots, it offers a quirky, out-of-this-world experience where all you have to do is hop on, sit back and enjoy the ride!

In the Katajanokka district, to the east of downtown Helsinki, in a rather quiet, residential area, you'll find the most local pub there is, where the owner and customers are surprised to see a new face arrive on a Saturday night! With a decor that smells of the sea and ships, karaoke and a jukebox (which works!), all you have to do is order and get into the mood of this place that makes you smile and want to extend the evening. Not trendy or fashionable, but authentic and therefore precious!

" Real beers for real people ": the Cask Room pub's slogan says it all! Here, we drink local beers, brewed on site and absolutely impossible to find anywhere else. This charming pub, located just opposite the station, is packed with an eclectic mix of tourists, regulars and curious onlookers attracted by the prospect of an unusual taste. The choice of beverages is vast, from lagers and pale ales to bitter Guinness-style beers. With friendly, efficient service, it's the ideal place to start the evening!
