Bar Loose is gay friendly, straight friendly, goth friendly...basically just friendly. “A liberal living room for good people” as they like to put it. The queues can get a little long later in the night, but you’re generally not left out in the cold. If it’s likely to be a popular gig, book tickets in advance so you won’t miss out.

Stop by for coffee, lunch or a glass of champagne and watch the sailboats pass by. You might even see people washing carpets in the traditional Finnish way! The bar is open every morning at 9 and the closing time in the evening varies.

They don't take table reservations for groups under 10 people, so you'll normally find a seat. The pizza here is made with love and thought, so it's worth trying for. Check their Facebook page for events and join the party!

It couldn't be in a more central location, and it's a very popular live venue with a rocky vibe, a restaurant right next door and a smaller club, Semifinal, downstairs. If a big gig is coming to Helsinki, chances are they'll play at Tavastia.

You must try their food! They have amazing vegetarian options, so I'd suggest you to try those, but they also have meat options available. The place is cosy and suitable for every situation.

These guys are real professionals - they mix the finest cocktails in town - so don't even bother asking for a coffee. This tiny lounge opened not so long ago, yet it's already become one of the hottest spots on the local circuit. Kill your worries and live a little!

The place where Bar Bäkkäri like to host their rockin' live gigs. Mostly hot and heavy rock, with a dose of the good old classics, it's a well-known venue with a dedicated local following. Check out their website www.bakkari.fi to see what's going on in any given week.

They have a healthy rotation of gigs and events, yet somehow you always know what to expect at Molly’s. It’s right in the centre near the train station and is a great default option when you’re not sure where to go, or if you’d like to meet some new faces. Start out here and you could find yourself in Australia by next summer.

The kind of laid-back place where they have screens playing the latest music videos and you can chill out all night with a few drinks and a few mates. Gain instant street-cred the second you step in the door.

"The Black Cat" keeps all the students living in a two block vicinity (hundreds) well-watered and provides live music, poetry evenings, art exhibitions and DJs, for a more cultural variety of sustenance. Musta Kissa's self-stated aim is to offer Kallio a little slice of something that it really needs.

Situated in one of the few surviving wooden house districts of Helsinki, this atmospheric corner bar is worth visiting for its beautiful surroundings alone. Beer is the main thing on the menu here, but you can also grab a light snack as you soak uo the ultra-Finnishness of it all.

Funnily enough, despite being an icon of institutional studentiness, it generally doesn’t feel that studenty at all, perhaps because it’s so dead-centre than it attracts all sorts of city-goers.
