Lovely place! A bit small for the large crowd it draws, but nice atmosphere and comfortable enough…read moreif you can get a seat beer is decently priced. Staff nice. Mixed age crowd, which is a plus for a gay bar (usually there is not much diversity on age)

The gay club scene in Helsinki. Note there are two lines at the door, one to the gay bar and the…read moreother to a straight bar, so make sure you're in the right line. Seems like they manufacture a line by holding people even though there's plenty of room inside. Security people at the door were rude. Checkin process is a mess - you have to pay two different admission fees, one for coat check even if you don't have a coat, and then the actual admission - ended up at like 12.50 euros. Drinks were overpriced, 11 euro for a vodka soda. Saving grace was the music, the DJ was excellent, American and European hits that were easy to dance to. Crowd seemed less gay than I was expecting, like 3/4 women, at least half of whom seemed straight, but at least a handful of cute gay guys. Not the best but not like there's a ton of choice.

They never challenged her story and decided that she was telling the truth even though I came with him. Not only that, their native language isn't English so they didn't even explore the possibility that any of them miss interpreted anything I said. If you're going to kick out paying customers then you should verify their story.

It hasn't really found its groove in this central location along Mannerheimintie. It really depends on what night you go. Obviously Fridays and Saturdays are best, and if there are any special events this place gets packed and can be quite fun. But the music and drinks and the place are pretty boring. One good thing: the crowd is fairly even, there are quite a lot of women here too, unlike many similar clubs around the world. That works for me.

Rude unwelcoming bar tender. No free water!

But our waiting time got increased when new customers were coming in because she mixed the queue and put them all ahead of us! had to wait for one of the very first ordered songs for 2h! Ridiculous.
