This was a quite good burger. I'm a bit spoiled with great burgers, but this was good. Served on a stone plate with knife and fork, and they asked if I wanted it medium or well, and it was a perfect medium. However, as with so many other nice burger places its too much focus on the meat and less on the dressing and type of cucumber - none. This place is made for hangouts, with board games and couches (or tables), perfect for an evening with friends. To fit into this focus the price of beer has to be lower. 7€ for a normal beer is too much for hangouts. The place is big, and nice. The staff was not as good on recommending stuff, they went strictly on the menu. I'm not interested in the menu, I just said I want THE burger. With cheese, without bacon, please. "But which burger? this one might be good for you?" and the waiter pointed at something in the menu. When I want THE burger, its probably not on the menu.. ;) Still, it is good burgers. I like good burgers. As Arnold would have said, "I'll be back!" read more

Man what a cool place in the center of Helsinki. After taking in some of the sights, walking the cobblestone and brick streets, I decided to stop here for a bite to eat. The atmosphere has a dark underground feel (literally). Reindeer happens to be a popular delicacy, so I treated myself to the reindeer burger, prepared medium rare. This burger was amazing, lean with a great flavor. If your out wandering around Helsinki, I would recommend trying out this restaurant/Bar. read more

The vegan cauliflower wings were REALLY good. However, the vegan sloppy joe burger was ick. I had to force myself to finish it. I've had great vegan burgers... this place doesn't have them! read more

Eh, this place is just ok. it's not anything great or anything but it's a good spot to come during late nights when there aren't any other options. Me and some friends didn't have a place to go to for a quick meal so we decided to come here for some burgers and beer. This place truly gives off an Irish pub atmosphere with a medium voice tone level crowd. The menu is alright with some pretty good fixed burgers but the size, portion of their food, etc. are just too tiny. I ordered their moose burger which tasted like overdone steak meat. It wasn't what I thought it'd be. I did like the lingonberry slaw with the thyme mayo inside the burger. It was flavorful and blended well with the meat. The burger itself is tiny and ran me about $18 with some side veggie fries that were LITERALLY 4-5 pieces?!?!?! like really?? it was pathetic. I would just come here for the sides and beer if anything. I wouldn't waste my time on the burgers UNLESS you really don't care about portion and price. I wouldn't come back. read more

First let me say that Nico was AMAZING! I could not have felt more welcome to dine here. The next welcome surprise brought a Makee Brewing Imperial Stout and that got my attention. Not a common contender especially in Europe but it was delicious. Congratulations on the wonderful food and beverage options. Reindeer burger with whiskey onions...what!?!? Dirty fries just smothered in goodness. The chef, Abdullah, knows how to cook! The French fries rival Atelier in Antwerp! And their music selection is fantastic. Get your Shazam ready. You will want to keep those songs you're late I g to while dining in this incredible place. Go all in and visit this lovely establishment. You won't be disappointed. read more

I had a couple drinks here with a few friends to start a Friday night. It was my first visit to this S-Group place. Yea, the brew selection is pretty good -- both domestics and imports. I had a CAP Great White Hype IPA from the tap -- that's a Swedish brewery. I enjoyed it -- not too fruity, and hoppy enough. Then a bottled Stadin Panimo American Lager. But seriously, the prices. 9.50 EUR for half liter IPA draft? OK it's an import so maybe. But 9 EUR for a domestic bottle I can get off the shelf at any Finnish grocery store (4.5% ABV)? Huh? Ridiculous. Judging from the other reviews and advertised lunch specials, I gotta come back here for lunch sometime for a burger -- maybe the place will make a better impression on me. read more

This place is alright. It feels like more of a tourist place because of it's location. The burger was good, but not even close to some of the best ones i've had though. The real issue I had with the place was the service!!! Holy. cow. It was bad. They said we had to wait over an hour to get our food! Since it was late (and It would take us longer to find a new place) we decided to just sit there paying for their overpriced beer and wine. Another reason I was somewhat annoyed was that I was treated like crap the second we walked in the door! When we first came in I asked the person behind the bar if they spoke english. She said "yes" so then I asked if we should "wait to be seated and get menu's" or if we should "just seat ourselves" and then she just turned around and ignored me. I just stood there staring at her back with my mouth hanging open until another person came over to help. lastly, one other issue I had was the temperature. It was absolutely freezing upstairs! I had to put on my big puffy coat inside because they had a "door man" that insisted on keeping both doors open for long periods of time in freezing weather. Not cool (pun intended!) So, in other words... if your a hungry tourist who's feet hurt and are starving... plan to go somewhere else. Otherwise, you'll get trapped into waiting an hour and a half for food, get crappy service and then rack up your bill on overpriced alcohol. If you do really want to try this place out... I suggest having patience, come before your starving and then going to the downstairs part. read more

Stopped in here for a beer and lunch. Nice place with many local beers on tap. Food menu has a wide variety of options from healthy to @you will pay for it later" ;). I had the Reindeer burger with a side green salad - both were very nicely presented and delicious - I high recommend the Reindeer burger ! Great friendly service from the two girls who were working my table read more

Stone's - Mmm the Reindeer burger was delicious ! - Gastropubs Near Me - Helsinki, 18

We had reindeer burgers and where disappointed. The food weren't cooked properly and my GF had to send it back to the kitchen because the bacon weren't done. It had a relaxing atmosphere and a good selection of beer. read more

As someone who likes good burgers and good beers, I can definitively recommend the place. The place is somewhere dark, yet quite comfortable on both floors (though, I prefer the bottom floor as the couches are great). They have a rock n' roll type of music selection, ranging from hard rock, to classic rock or even metal. Yet, not too loud as to allow for conversation without problems. The selection of beers is great, having some great beers both on tap and in bottle, and even a system to vote for which beers will be on tap. But, the main things here are the amazing burgers they have. For a very decent price, and definitively worth every cent, every burger on this place has proven to be delicious and gratifying. I just love the place! read more

Moose burger is quite good! Beer is slightly expensive tho. You will see this place when you're looking around stockmann and it won't make you unhappy :) read more

Pretty decent place for burgers and beer with a good variety of both right in the city center. We had the black and blue burger and the standard cheeseburger, both of which were good. On the pricey side but expected for that location. Might come back for a beer sometime. read more

Stone's, located in one of the side streets of Aleksanterinkatu, is a nice cozy place with dark interior that has more to offer then what meets the eye at the first glance. On two levels you can relax in comfortable booths or at small tables. They offer a wide selection of beer some of which I bet you've never heard of before. Ask the waiter to have a try before you decide on a beer. The screens in the pub might also help you with your decision. They monitor the beers consumption there so you know exactly what the most popular draught of the day is. Hungry? No problem. They also serve food. Get a snack like the tasty beer bacon meatballs for reasonable prices. You can save some money with your S-bonus card here since Stone's belongs to the S-group. Like in most of the Finnish pubs they also have a big selection of board games. So go downstairs and play a round of Kimble with your friends. Btw. they also have special offers for members. Ask at the bar for the memebership card. read more

This place was nice - the Reindeer burger sucked me in since I've never had that before. I sat down at the bar and ordered a burger and fries (fries are separate) and the darkest beer they had which ended up being Young's double chocolate stout. I started drinking my beer and using the wifi which was superslow and didn't work too well. After about 40 minutes I asked the bartender how much longer for my burger and she said she would go check and came back out a few minutes later and said it would be another 10 minutes. Odds are she forgot to ring it in since it was so busy but she comped me the beer, so it's all good. The reindeer burger was delicious. I ordered medium, but it came out a bit medium well - little pink rather than mostly pink. It was juicy and the toppings just sealed the deal on the richness and flavors of Finland. I would go back for the burgers and beer selection. read more

Burgers are great, but the service is really slow, even when the place is only half full

Only giving it 2 stars because if the selection of beers. Took 45 minutes to get our food and then got my side order wrong. The burger wasn't anything to write home about. read more

Nice place to have a gourmet burger. I had, like my friends, the blue cheese burger whom is a must try. My husband had the Stone's burger, not as good apparently. The service was great. Will be back. read more

I would come here more for the beers than for the burgers. Nothing that spectacular with the burgers in my opinion but if you are looking for a place to have a few beers with friends and at the same time enjoy some bar food in convenient location then this is a good place. read more

I ate one of the best burgers I've ever had! Service is quite quick and people are very very nice.

Heard good things about the organic burgers so we decided to try it. 1. You can't take kids in here after 6 pm so that sucked. 2. They don't do take away so we couldn't even order burgers for dinner 3. My husband took our baby home and me and my gf stayed because we had our heart set on a burger so we sat down and the service was so slow. After 15 minutes we finally got menus and when she finally came back for us to order she told us it would be a 45 min wait to get our food!! So far 3 strikes on this place and I haven't even tried te burger. I don't usually post on here but I've never been so frustrated with a Burger joint. It's 6 pm... You would think they would have enough staff to serve people in a timely fashion. It wasn't even packed or people waiting. Not sure if we will be back.. Will have to post again to let you know if the burger is worth the wait! read more

Nice place, but bad service Haven't tasted the food but it looks delicious The waiter/bartender seemed annoyed that we where here and asked questions (of interest) of the local beers - we actually just wanted to get out of there because of the waiter - I don't think that the staff is generally like this, he might have had a bad day Pay the place a visit and give the waiter a good experience, so he can have many goo days from now on read more

Actually pretty good lunch burgers. Not too big set of French fries but just good for lunch I guess.
