"Nightlife" Helsinki Nightlife Tip by FinElina

Helsinki Nightlife: 272 reviews and 224 photos

Nightlife in Helsinki is most active in weekends and holidays. The pubs and bars in the city centre fill up with urban citizens. The minimum age limit to get in in Finland is 18, but to most places (and to the best places) 20 or 24.
Typical to Finland, everything is quite expensive in bars and pubs, so if you're just planning to get drunk, a better way is to buy drinks from grocery stores...

Around the railway station you'll find many popular bars and pubs like Public Corner , On the rocks, Baarik?rp?nen, Eatz (these next to each other), Molly Malone's, Sports Academy (especially for sports addicted men who can't leave the tv at home), Lady Moon (for older women) and Wanhan tanssikellari (for middle-aged persons).

For younger people, who like to dance: Mr. Sedu Koskinen owns many popular nightlife places in Finland and Helsinki. Places run by him are for example: The Club, Kaivohuone (open in summertime), Studio 51, Soho and Onnela.

If you want to try something Finnish go to sing karoke to Jone's in Kaisaniemi (metrostation).

If you want to see Finnish actors and actresses, head for Juttutupa in Hakaniemi (metrostation). From Hakaniemi it's easy to explore the smaller pubs and bars in Kallio (Rytmi, S?vel, Cafe Mascot, Kuudes linja, Kettunen etc.)

Dress Code: Usually there are no dress codes in Helsinki but I guess everyone can use their brain when dressing up....
