Where to have a drink in Helsinki?
Alcohol in Finland is expensive (only if you're from Norway, you might disagree!). A pint of beer might easily cost 9€, and a glass of wine more or less the same. That is not everywhere though, so keep on reading forward if you want to have a drink without destroying your whole travel budget.
Sivukirjasto
A true Kallio classic! Sivukirjasto means "side library", and it gets the name from its location, next to Kallio Library. Sivukirjasto is one of Kallio's most famous bars, it has a lot of atmosphere, nice selection of beers and during the summer a picturesque terrace.
Pub Porthan
A bar always full of locals! Affordable prices and cool vibes, occasionally you'll get free popcorn. They have board games also, like most bars do actually.
Bar Bhangra
Bollywood vibes in the heart of Töölö district. This cosy and very popular pub is where India meets Helsinki.
Juova
Juova brings Finnish craft beers under the same roof. It holds the title of "The Best beer bar 2023", and for a reason. They have 25 beers on tap, and much more in bottles. This is heaven for craft beer freaks! The staff is friendly and professional, and they also serve affordable bar food (quesadillas, nachos, patatas bravas).
