If you want to enjoy some quality wine in a beautiful, intimate environment, Soil Wine Room is the…read moreplace for it. The wines are simply amazing and well priced. I would recommend asking advice from the staff just to educate yourself: these people know their wines and are happy to share their knowledge! They also serve small tapas here. I wouldn't come in extremely hungry, but the food works as snacks along with the wine. The salmon was incredibly good, I will probably have that every single time I'm coming back - and that's going to be often!

Wine, anyone? Tapas, anyone?…read more Count me in! Soil Wine Room delivers in all fronts: - located in Punavuori easily accessed by tram - great selection of wines - delicious food - price is right! Food: We've been going here for little over a year regularly whenever we feel like it. Wines are good and the food is easily paired with wine. Food is Tapas, so you'll need to order a few plates to get your hunger away. Even so the food is delicious. They have changed their menu a few times but my favorite "Merten kuningas - King of the Seas" is still on the menu. Environment: Small, small and chic. Trendy, upscale feeling with a casual vibe. There is seating maybe for 25 people so you should make a reservation before hand if going in on popular times. Service: Service has been great! They know their wines and gladly tell you the differences between different wines if you are not sure what to drink. Price: I'd say that this is rather reasonably priced for the location and the trendy environment. Food: 4/5 Environment: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Price: 4/5

One of the top wine bars if not the best one in helsinki. They have a very impressive list of wines…read moreby the glass and prices are also reasonable. I was impressed on my last visit when they for example had 5 different sparkling wines (2 champagnes, 1 prosecoo, 1 cava and 1 cremant) by the glass, prices ranging from €7 to €14. Most of the wines are ecological and while they are not fanatical about it they strive to have mostly ecological but most importantly good wines. The staff are very knowledgeable and very happy to chat about the wines. They also serve some cheese and charcuteries to go with the wine. The space is a bit weird as they share it with a hair salon but it is an efficient use of the space. It does however work best when it is a bit dark as it otherwise is very visible that the furniture is a bit worn. Still a nice place f glass of wine or more.

For that reason you can be sure to find get some wines here you most probably won't find at Alko. Ask the bar tender for a recommendation. There will surely be something to suit your taste. Vin-Vin of course also has other drinks than wine but for anything else. Wine is their specialty though and for anything else you will probably find something more suitable elsewhere in town. Especially if you consider coming here during the weekend try to be early. The place doesn't have too many seats and it get's crowded here pretty fast. I managed to get in only after the fourth try.

Can't even begin to count how many fun nights I've spent in this wine bar with my friends. The…read moreatmosphere is cozy, the wine selection is on point and the tapas platters are my personal favorite.

Bar Haven is the bar that is inside the Hotel Haven. Comfortable, stylish, not terribly expensive…read more We had our final round of the night here before we retired to our separate hotels (two of our party were here at the Hotel Haven and three were at the Hilton Strand). Service was good and they had a decent selection of beers. My wine-drinking friend found a nice white that we all enjoyed too. Well worth the stop in this part of town.

Bar Haven is a really nice stylish hangout where you will always still find a free table or sofa…read more Even during the busiest weekends there is always enough space. And they have quite and amazing selection of drinks. You can find big varieties among spirits and wines. Bar Haven is an upper price location but definitely worth visiting at least for one drink. So make yourself comfortable next to the fireplace and enjoy the evening!

Latva is probably my favorite bar in Helsinki and every time I come here I always wonder why I do…read morenot go here more frequently. It is located very close to one of the main streets in the center (the Esplanad) but still the surroundings are very tranquil and especially in summer it is just lovely to sit outside and sip on a glass (of wine or beer). There is seating available indoors as well and that is great for winter and bad weather as well as after 10pm when they have to close outdoors. They offer a great range of micro breweries from around Finland. I do not often find good Finnish beer abroad but here it is clearly shown that it is not because it is jot produced. The staff are very knowledgeable and do take the time to find something that suits your taste. The great thing with Latva is that they do not only have a great selection of beer but also a very good wine selection. The selection by the glass is usually very exciting. As if that was not enough they also serve some pretty great food so when in Helsinki do not miss this place!

Are you looking for a good wine bar in Helsinki? Then come to Latva (Treetop). The small bar in…read morePunavuori offers a big selection of excellent wines from all over the world. Don't just ask for a glass of wine at the bar but take your time to browse through the long list of delicious reds, whites and rosés. If you still can't decide let the staff help you. Just let them know what you normally drink or what you are looking for and they will recommend you something. Latva is not just a place for wine though. They also have tasty local beer on tap. Except for Sandels all their beers come from microbreweries in Finland. Try for example the New Zealand Amber Lager or the light Vehnä wheat beer.

It is a small, intimate spot with 5 2 tops, one larger table in the center and a few bar seats. During the day, Way is a cafe where you can enjoy lunch (entree of the day is 11 euros which included a slice of sourdough bread) or a cup of coffee along with their delicious baked goods. After the lunch hour, it turns into a wine bar. During shrove bun season, I was able to try their laskiaispulla and it was SO good. I already can't wait until next year :) They also recently released the crack bun which was delicious as well. Think cream puff but with a sugary top crust. It reminded me of the pineapple buns I would sometimes get at dimsum. The service is nice and attentive. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot if youre in the area :D

Rock solid wine bar, wish this place was around the corner from home. Great vibe, lots of regulars…read morewhich, to me, speaks volumes. We were in Helsinki for a week and found ourselves here for late afternoon, pre dinner drinks multiple times. Really casual, fun place. Cosy but not too loud. Good selection of wines by the glass.

Sinne is located just off the main streets, behind Forum (big shopping mall) and Torni hotel. The…read morespace is divided into two parts: the Deli, where you can just pop in for a bite and a glass, and the 'Garden room' with a bit more formal setting (still fairly relaxed). The Garden room is built in an inner yard with a glass roof, so the space has a lot of light and a nice airy feel. The decoration of the space is nothing special, but there is some green (plants) in the middle of the room which created a nice 'winter garden' feel. Nothing special was needed to make it cozy. The wine list is strong here and they have three sparkling wines by the glass (one regular sparkling and a champagne as well as something that rotates) as well as multiple other wines by the glass. Unfortunately the wine list only has a few of the wines by the glass listed and for the rest you need to ask the sommelier (who is often more interested in saying what he thinks you should drink rather than presenting all the options they have by the glass). The food has been good when I have been here. The food was also wonderful. I has nice glazed pork cheek with heart salad and Malmgård-emmer rice as well as excellent grilled asparagus with mushroom wild rice and pesto. The burger is also nice bit bot as good as some seem to think (and stand your ground to have it medium rare as their medium is too well done). They also have a classic dish if the month, when I tried it they served reindeer with mashed potatoes and lingon berries and that was also good. Food quality is good here and they have an excellent wine list. Service is usually attentive and while it is not cheap it still represents good value for money for the quality level delivered.
