The newly opened bar specialises in cocktails and especially the Finnish specialties are worth experimenting. Walking past it, it appears like a private club with its locked door. But ring the door bell, and you’ll get in to this busy cocktail heaven.

Klaus K – First Design Hotel in Town
Friday, May 22nd, 2009The centrally located Klaus K was the first design hotel in town. The rooms are small yet individual. The best parts of the hotel are however the restaurants and bars attached to it. The Toscanini is a busy casual Italian place whereas the popular Ahjo night club has a good selection of interesting wines.

Grotesk: Not so Grotesk
Friday, May 22nd, 2009The restaurant and bar in the old Helsingin Sanomat newspaper headquarter has gotten its name from the font ‘grotesk’ they used. Ambitious venture by Tommi and Teemu of Demo to offer Demo quality in larger volumes and more accessible pricing. The quality is not quite up to Demo’s one star kitchen but great value in any case. Modern with an ambient busy atmosphere. The lively courtyard terrace is a great place for a drink. When it gets chilly, you should move inside to enjoy some of the best cocktails in town. Bellini from fresh peaches and Pol Roger is fantastic!
