During summertime the terrace is lovely, though the seagulls are after your food, so be careful! Ruby's host quite a few special nights from piano battles to comedy nights, be sure to check them out! My personal favorites are the old NBA and NHL arcade games - they're amazing! They also have a pool table and an isolated room for karaoke. I would highly recommend Ruby's for a fun, relaxed night out.

MMMMM me wan't beer! Konttori has it!…read more In Finnish konttori means office. So you can call your boss and say that you are still in the office while sipping your beer. They have a quite large selection on draft beers and also on bottled beers. Even some rare ciders on draft. Price wise it's not cheap maybe a bit over average. Craft beers run around 8-10€ a pint. They have a couple of TV's and a screen where you can watch sports.

Once I went there to order a burger and asked if it's lactose free (the owner was taking my order). He tells me he'll go ask. He came back a few seconds later nodding, with a fake smile and telling me "yes, lactose! want one?". While he went to ask, I saw in the menu that it is not lactose-free, so this guy basically wanted to trick me into buying a burger while completely ignoring my allergies and dietary restrictions.

Let me start by saying this is one of my favorite places in Tampere, so if you're visiting Finland,…read moreplease do yourself a favor and go. This was our weekly hotspot while we lived in Tampere. Jack the Rooster is a Rock bar which has live music most days of the week. On Sundays (Jam Night) they have a house band which offers a really unique experience. You get the opportunity to request the songs that the band plays, but you also get to be part of the band. For example, you can request a song and then replace the singer for the song you chose. This is really cool because you can replace as many or as few members of the band as you'd like. It's like kareoke for all musicians! You play drums, no problem, replace the drummer. You sing and your buddy place bass, cool, replace the bass player and the singer. It's really a cool idea and always a blast to watch. The musicians in the house band are extremely talented and there aren't many songs they can't nail. There is also a karaoke room in the bar, so no matter what else is going on, you can sing some karaoke any night! Go on a weeknight and you might even get the room to yourself for you and your friends. Now on to the food. The food is great, the burgers are amazing, but they've also got some unique things happening in this area too! First, the death burger. This is a food challenge, so you have to consume the entire burger on 30 mins without drinking any milk. This burger has about half a bottle of Ahjo hot sauce in the burger and even more on top, and trust me, that stuff is HOT! In addition, you have to finish the fries which are sprinkled with naga chili spice. Jack the Rooster also hosts a special dinner night called Hell's night twice yearly which features an original recipe spiced up menu. You can pick your item based on the skull rating, 2 skulls is moderate and 5 skulls will have you on fire. I had the Russian roulette. This meal was 5 meatballs with mashed potatoes... but here's the catch, only on of those meatballs was a 5 skull naga chili meatball. I hit that meatball second and it was so hot I felt like I was on drugs. I had to down pints of milk to bring me back to reality. :) On Monday nights in the summer they host a really cool event, Reggaeta & Makkaraa (Reggae and Sausage). They have live reggae music and free sausages fresh from teh grill! Yes, that's right, free! Might I add, this terrace gets sun alllll day and allll evening. Finnish summer days are long, it barely gets dark before it gets light again.

I like the layout of this place - nice bar at one end, jazz quartet playing at the other end, and filled with people. Lots of tables, and you can go upstairs for a good view of everything. The bartenders are friendly and on weekends/holidays you'll find the outside tables packed with people too. I like to come here and listen to jazz and order some wines, and it's laid back enough that I'm comfortable going there by myself, even though my Finnish is worse than horrible.
