The atmosphere here is one of the unbeatable spots in all of Helsinki…read more Good jams. Anywhere from electronica from 2008 to black metal classics. Reasonable prices. Some folks from spotless and "safe" countries might think this is in a seedy part of town, which isn't completely untrue given all the massage parlors, but it's absolutely safe. At least from an Angelino's perspective

I had a couple beers here with friends to start a Kallio run. The place is small and it was…read moreunderstandably packed and loud on this Friday night, but with sufficient elbow use we managed to squeeze into seats. No doorman or coat check, so pretty laid back in that respect. Molotow is charming and I can see why it attracts its clientele. It's got a bohemian vibe -- I hesitate to throw the term hipster out there for fear of negative undertones, but the shoe fits rather well. I had a Magic Stone Dog Ale and a Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale, both bottled. The former was solid but the latter tasted like Christmas exploded in my mouth. I was disappointed with the prices -- admittedly due to my Kallio prejudice. I just don't expect to pay upwards of 8 EUR for bottles in this neighborhood. Good selection yet on the pricey side, so it kind of averages out for me. Nevertheless, it's certainly worth making Molotow a stop on your Kallio visit. I'll be back :)

Gorgeous traditional Finnish food in a down-to-earth place with tons of personality and charm…read more The food is unfussy, good-sized, and very good. Think all kinds of herring, vendance, perch; blinis with all kinds of toppings; and lots of other choices. The chef is quite a personality too. They also have an amazing range of alcohol, including a surprising range of craft beers! Try "Tactical Nuclear Penguin" from Brewdog :) I'll be back next time I'm in this city for sure.

The location is rather central and easy to reach, but it simply didn't have any kind of charm or character that make it memorable. It felt like a combination of dive bar, sports pub, and something else. Downstairs, however, is a club, which was a bit more welcoming. It was dark and cozy, with its own bar, a large space near the stage, and seating in the back. The cover was affordable (which is saying a lot for a city like Helsinki) and the beers were not badly priced either. There is a screen near the seating which shows the stage so those who don't want to stand up front can still watch it. I think I would be inclined to come back for shows, but not for any other reason.
