Best burger I had during my recent visit to Helsinki! Wait, it was the only burger I had while…read morevisiting Helsinki. The taste, presentation & price made for an awesome experience. I ordered a Bacon Cheese Burger & received a perfectly medium cooked patty with a pile of tasty fries. The burger was seasoned well & cooked to perfection, I was quite pleased with the flavor & constitution of the entire thing. The textures of the soft bun with the crispy bacon & crunchy produce worked nicely with the grilled beef patty. The fries were also something to write home about. They were cooked to a beautiful golden crisp & salted generously. I washed the feast down with a couple mugs of a local tap beer called Karhu, it was a flavorful amber. Sports Academy only offers 5 beers on tap. But, a plethora of bottled beer is available. They also offer a decent selection of spirits for harder drinks. The venue could use a few more TV's considering it is a sports bar. The interior & bathrooms could use some updating. The bathroom was dingy & dirty. Head to the bar to place your order & be sure to grab utensils & condiments before returning to your table. The entire meal & drinks were a good value which was quite a surprise. I had read Finland was going to be the most expensive stop on my trip to Scandinavia & Russia. I would dine here again.

If you want to get your burger and beer "on" while playing Texas Hold 'em/Blackjack this is the…read moreplace for you. There are plenty of big screen TV's to watch sports and there are plenty of beers on tap. This is a good place to stop by if you need a quick break from walking around downtown Helsinki. I recommend bringing your passport as that is the most common form of ID that is accepted for entrance. I would come back for some suds. Plus when it's cold in Helsinki you want to get inside quick, so stop on by!

A basic sporty-style burger restaurant in Ainoa shopping mall. The burgers have lots of variation…read moreand are nice enough for their price range. I love their country-style fries & mayo. I go there sometimes with my friend who loves burgers - they have couple of salads etc. in their menu too, but I have tried only burgers. Service has been friendly but a bit slow. The atmosphere is slightly restless because of sport screens and tv's (I'm not a big fan of sports and tend to get hypnotized by moving pictures), but if you don't mind that, or even like sports (!) this is probably a nice, relatively calm and very civilized sports bar for you. This is not my favourite burger place on the world or even in Helsinki area, but it's definitely not the worst either. I will surely visit them again, but this is also because there aren't any other this kind of places in Tapiola. But, not bad, after all.

Wanted to post this without a single star but unfortunately it's not possible…read more 6 of us gave another chance to this sports bar in Tapiola and ordered table full of food. Friend of mine ordered wings and realized only a few min after she had paid that she can't eat the blue cheese dressing which is served in a separate cup together with the wings. Changing the dip cost one euro extra...seriously? At this time there were still few tables before us to be served. Meaning the kitchen hadn't even started yet to prepare the dish.

20 June 2016 Went here with a couple of friends to watch the…read moreEuro Cup -16 game Slovakia-England, and eat some nice burgers. The atmosphere was good as always, even though the Finns doesn't seem to be that interested in the tournament, which might be due to the own teams failure to qualify. Anyhow. The problem was mostly the food. Ordered the double cheese burger and got two pre-made patties that seemed to have been made not upon me ordering them, but probably earlier the same (hopefully) day. Too hungry to mention this at the restaurant, I devoured the burger and tried to forget about it. However, the next day I went to one of the competing sport pubs and had a great burger (see next review), which made me decide to not go back until Oleary's starts to at least make their own burgers. Too bad. I like the place otherwise, but paying three times as much as one would at McDonalds, and getting a burger that is less satisfying does not work for me.

We stopped in here only for a beer but the atmosphere was really nice even though it was a Boston…read morebar and I'm from NY Yankees country! The place is set out on two floors and the menu looked pretty good although I had eaten elsewhere so just settled for a couple of Samuel Adams brews. Nice long bar and a decent beer choice and also lots of television sets around to watch a game. Hockey is the game up that way and I was actually watching an English soccer game but I imagine that you can get some USA sports too. Worth a visit.
