Over the last 15 years I spent most of my Friday evenings at Cosmic. In that time, the place hardly changed at all, and this is a good thing. It has a consistent, cosy atmosphere which attracts a fairly young crowd; students, artists and computer geeks like me. The free wi-fi is great and you'll see a lot of people with laptops. They have an extensive selection of beers and ciders, and on special occasions you can even get a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. For those who like to sit alone, there is a large collection of comic books in Finnish and also board games you can borrow. The background music is usually something 'indie' and they often have a DJ -- you'll hear everything from reggae to humppa and it can get pretty loud in there, sometimes a little too loud. Last but not least, the friendly English-speaking staff always remembered my favourite drink and had it ready before I could say 'cider'. read more
