No trip to Helsinki is complete without a trip to the top of the Torni hotel to visit the Ateljee bar. It is one of the best (and free to enter) places to get a great view of the city. The city itself doesn't have very many tall buildings, so you can see pretty far on a clear day. Unfortunately, I was there when it was raining on and off, but I was told by my walking tour guide that you can theoretically see all the way to Tallinn (Estonia). The bar itself is small and fills up easily, so I'd recommend trying to go during the week or during a workday so the crowds aren't so bad. For a fabulous location, the prices aren't that bad. The locals will probably tell you that the place is very expensive (which is sorta true), but you can't put a price on the expanse of views! Take the trip up!

When visiting Helsinki there is one bar you absolutely have to visit. Pay no attention to locals who might mention that it is touristy or too expensive. It definitely is, but it matters so little when Ateljee gives you the best scenic view of the Helsinki skyline. True, the city doesn't really have a skyline, but that only means you can see further than you could have ever imagined, because there are no tall buildings blocking the view. You can see far into the sea (some say you can even see Estonia). You can even see the forests that surround Helsinki. The drinks are also good, but they are expensive. If your budget is really tight you can always go for something simple like a coffee or soda. The lift doesn't take you all the way up to the bar either, so unfortunately there is a set of steep stairs one has to climb. It's no Mayan temple, but it can prove to be an impossible task for old and disabled folk. I take all my foreign friends here. It is a Helsinki must-do.

One of the coolest places in Helsinki, let alone the nicest rooftop bar in the city. While drinks are on the pricey side even for Helsinki, they weren't unreasonable given the 360 degree views of the entire city with two outdoor terraces on each side of a cozy indoor bar area with floor to ceiling windows, all on top of the 12th floor of a popular hotel in the city center. On a nice day you can see for miles in every direction. Highly recommended and I'll for sure be coming back.

Tmrw view is the city is spectacular!

Make that 101 Dogs! This is an Asian-themed cocktail bar…read morethat also happens to serve hot dogs. Their menu isn't as diverse as you'd expect with the name "100 Dogs." In fact, they only have a few. Meat or veggie dog, served on a short bun, covered in wasabi mayo and Sriracha ketchup, with crispy fried onions. Amazingly delicious. I swear, you might be able to eat 100 of these dogs, 'cause they're not very big- but they pack in the flavor. They also serve craft cocktails. With an aperitif cocktail on tap (never seen that one before!) they can make all kinds of crazy mixologist concoctions. I opted for the beer- which was very cheap, but it came out in a half-pour. Perfect for last call. The interior looks like an Ed Hardy Japanese shirt factory exploded. They have weird prints of Japanese tattoos, and Asian street art that's interesting to check out. The place is welcoming, and the staff is friendly- they obviously know their cocktails, with homemade ingredients and properly sized chunks of ice in the proper cups.

A quite small bar with red, recycled Asian-style furniture and lamps, attitude and very…read more(positively) strong hipster atmosphere. The place reminds me of indie style rock bars. The service was extremely nice and friendly. We loved the veggie dog - although it was quite light, it was very tasty and had lots of cilantro, other spices and salted peanuts in it. Nothing in it was hot and it was mere a bun with some filling, but it was lovely anyway. There are nice drinks with funny names and some Asian beer in the list too. The prices are pretty high and if you are very hungry, the hot dogs and kimchi won't really fill your stomach - but I really recommend tasting! Huge thanks for the music which wasn't playing too loud in the "backroom" where we were sitting in. We really were able to chat with each other without shouting over the music - this is rare in pubs and worth of praise. This was my first visit but I will definitely come back. There are only few places with this kind of atmosphere in Helsinki.

This is a very large bar with an amazing selection of gin - 97 different kinds, in fact! The gin &…read moretonics are garnished with various berries and spices, depending on what's compatible with the gin you selected. So while it has the appearance of a steampunk-themed dive bar, they know how to make a good drink. My one complaint is that we were offered small tastes of a couple different gins - combined it was less than a shot and we didn't request them, so I was surprised when we were charged €7 (on top of €11 per drink). Otherwise, great decor, fabulous music from the 40s, and vey friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit, and I loved the bar's own brand of gin.

I went here with a small group to celebrate a friend's birthday party. Noticeable even before…read moreentering the bar was the music, the main attraction of this establishment. There was a 3€ entry fee/coat checking. The steam themed decor was scant, at best, and the service was lackluster. Many of us did not get drinks for half an hour. Despite the music (the live DJ was on top of his game) this bar receives a 1 star due to an inexcusable flaw and service policy. While at the steam bar, I wanted to take a break and use my steamer (an electronic cigarette.) They do not have a smoking room, so smokers are to go outside. I went to the coat-check with my ticket, (late October in Helsinki), and told them I'm going to step outside and return. I was informed of a policy they have, not to return jackets but instead to loan out a thin 'blanket' to smokers. Not only was I adverse to the idea of sharing a blanket with every previous bar patron who wanted to step outside, but my personal vaporizer was in my jacket. When I informed the two people at the coat check of this, I was told that I "could go buy cigarettes at the bar." After making it clear that I want my vaporizer from my jacket and that I do not want to buy cigarettes, that the purpose of me having a personal steam machine is to prevent me from smoking cigarettes, they agreed to release my jacket to me. At a cost of an additional 3€. This is not a joke, and after being polite more than long enough I even began to argue the point of jacket extortion to no avail. I was told "every time I want to touch my coat, it will cost an additional 3€. As a line formed behind me, I eventually told them that I'll take my jacket, and pay the fee upon return. As a matter of principle I did not return, and missed the rest of my friend's birthday. This bar had a lot of potential, but poor hygiene, rude staff, greedy management and terrible rules made creating a yelp account worth the effort.
