The best bars and cafés Tampere

Books, old sofas, paintings on all the walls and soft lights announce the colour. A trendy meeting place for nerds, students and artists, Europa is resolutely cosmopolitan with a cuisine oriented towards southern Europe. Once settled in, you feel good there and simply want to take the time to enjoy your meal, your snack or simply drink your hot coffee comfortably seated on one of the sofas. The atmosphere is always friendly and the welcome is always very warm. Discounts for students.

" 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!

A brewery set up in the mid-1990s in one of the former buildings of the Finlayson textile company, where waiters serve in traditional dress. With its ubiquitous red bricks and homemade beer, this is one of Tampere's most popular addresses for those who want to try a beer made (actually) on the premises, with a rather unlikely choice. In terms of cuisine, there are no nasty surprises, with a menu that has a fairly European flavour, with a few Nordic specialities and good burgers standing out.

Imagine a bar where you can play board games and consoles from the NES to the latest, alone or with friends, while drinking a beer or a cocktail? That's what Save File, an e-sports bar and games room, is all about. All you have to do is order (from the friendly, smiling staff) and settle in. The rest is up to you: would you like to take a trip down memory lane? Play an arcade game? Learn a new game? It's up to you!

If you ask a local the name of the best cocktail bar in Tampere, don't be surprised if the answer is always the same: Tiima is the unanimous choice! This small, intimate bar, located right next to the local Olympia, has quickly found its place in Tampere life. And with good reason: the cocktails (or mocktails, the non-alcoholic version) are a marvel, prepared with talent by the very nice team. High-quality products, original suggestions and reasonable prices: all in all, a good deal!
