I would totally ditch my kid and my husband any night of the week to go hang out at Milli Miglia…read moreand drink sparkling wine and listen to awesome music (Hole, Patsy Cline, Supergrass were stand-outs last night) and be just another free-wheeling Helsinki Hipster, untethered from the 5,000 lb weight that is my Bugaboo Buffalo, family, mortgage, etc... I'd cozy into one of the banquettes or I'd pop a squat on a window-front bar stool and take in the scenery out on the quiet street. I'd drink sparkling wine out of adorable saucers, I'd let the kitschy but super cool Fellini's-Italy-style vibe and design suck me into another time and place. It's romantic and gritty and colorful. I highly recommend MIlli Miglia. I could mention that the bartenders are fine, the drink variety is pretty good, the place is big enough for a get-together but too small for a proper party, blah blah blah. But it doesn't really matter. You just need to go experience this tiny bit of joy for yourself. You're welcome.

I've been to Urho's countless times over the past decade or so. Because when I leave this venerable…read morepub I'm usually incapable of counting. This most recent visit was last Tuesday for after work drinks with colleagues. As you might expect, Urho's radiates that traditional dark, dank British pub vibe. They've got booth seating as well as scattered smaller tables, and an outside terrace around the entrance facing Museokatu -- weather permitting. This trip I sipped a half pint of Dcuk English Pale Ale (Dancing Duck, UK) from the tap and a bottle of Hop Ottin IPA (Anderson Valley Brewing, USA). Both were nothing to write home about. I would say the tap selection is rather average for a typical British pub (even in Finland), but above average for a typical FInnish bar. Urho's used to be *the* place to quench you exotic brew thirst, offering an extensive bottle selection. But times change and the Helsinki craft brew scene is rapidly evolving. Unfortunately Urho's doesn't seem to be adapting to this changing climate -- this visit felt the same as one over a decade ago. I'll be back to Urho's because it's a staple Helsinki pub, but I'm hoping to see their tap and bottle selection broaden -- the former, in particular.
