The vibe is perfect, the beer selection is wonderful, and the staff is very friendly and downright awesome. They have a great mix of local and not local beers and the prices are nice for being right in the city. Highly recommended. She Said: exactly what he said! And the food was good, too. Sadly, I can't remember the specifics of what we ordered because, well, beer. Potty Points: 5/5 I never waited for a potty and they were somehow always clean and well stocked!

You order at the counter and pay at the counter as well. They have a small food menu which is ok nothing special. I tried a couple of Finnish beers and they were quite good. Also enjoyed some Finnish spirits which were recommended by the staff and they were good too. Service was very friendly and the bar staff were quite engaging. They also recommended some beers and they knew a lot about what was in house. I would happily come here again. It was recommended to me by a Finnish friend who lives in Germany and I am glad to have visited here.

The final stop of our food tour in Helsinki, we had a reserved table way in the back this evening…read more Four beers to try including their pilsner, weissbier, marzen and stout. I preferred the weissbier, trading my stour and marzen with my tourmates for theirs. This is a nice comfy underground brewpub and I get the feeling that it can get a little friendly during the more "Oktoberfest" times of the year. Free wifi, comfy seating, great beers. I really enjoyed it here and it's more than clear that Helsinki has an excellent craft brew culture going on! [Review 10076 overall, 1661 of 2018.]

Seems like it's always crowded after work.... and on evenings, and... weekends too. Pretty much…read morealways crowded. Good luck finding a seat. Acutally on Sunday they have a brunch that is not too crowded.... 17 euro a person and you get to eat various things off the buffet. It was decent, but the price is a bit steep. The desserts were quite good also. They have a food menu here in English if you are hungry, but I can save you some time. Do yourself a favor and order the burger. Yes, I realize it's 15 euro for a burger. But it's damned good. Other than that , makara means "sausage" and they have a couple different kinds.

Big place. They…read morehave a decent down stairs with big screen TV for watching hockey and what not. Probably the most interesting feature is the sauna. It can hold probably 8 or 10 people and you can rent it out for something like 300 euro for three hours, and with that you get 100 or 150 euro worth of food and booze. They make their own beer ....ask for a pint of the "happiness", it's like an IPA that comes in two different strengths. Something like 4.5% and 9% maybe. Also they have a few pricey/small food items like reindeer jerky, cheese cubes, a couple things. The patio is excellent but usually a bit crowded.

They had all the fruit pouches you could possibly need, which made things really convenient. It's also very close to F6 Hotel, so the location honestly couldn't be easier if you're staying nearby. The market itself is clean, well organized, and the staff are incredibly kind and helpful. Pro tip: don't forget to weigh the bananas before heading to checkout!

A Solid market! Get smarket! This place is pretty good-…read moreit's got a wide selection of foods, at good prices. It's a good sized grocer in the basement of a shopping center. There's an escalator to get down there, and you have to rent a cart for a Euro. There's no fee for carrying around a basket. The produce section wasn't so great, but it did have the basic fruits and vegetables at reasonable prices. The dairy section was stocked with all kinds of weird cheeses I'd never seen before. One day when I went, they were sampling up the local cheeses in the aisle. Score! There's a large bakery section, with a huge variety of rye breads. Go for the ones with lumberjacks on them, or the one shaped like a cat for extra flavor. They also have a big selection of pre-made foods, like cassaroles, fish, meats, sausages, etc. If you wanna grab a bite to go, this is a popular spot. The fish selection was some of the best I'd seen in a supermarket- they must've had salmon prepared two dozen different ways. The beer selection is pretty primo too! They have mostly canned beers, but with a huge variety of beers from across Europe at discount prices. Many of them are kept cold, but the majority of the craft beers are kept warm. You can buy most of the beers as singles, or as 6+packs, so I chose to jump around with different local(ish) breweries that I'd never heard of. Finland's a cold place, the beer chills really quickly, so don't worry about them being sold warm. I've never seen such a licorice selection- they had all kinds of the local flavors and varieties. The local specialty is the salted licorice- they have some good examples of this in their huge selection of flavors and brands. It takes up about a quarter of an aisle. I think you get charged for a shopping bag, so you might try to save by bringing your own. The check-out lines were long, but it seems that they're (unsuccessfully) trying out a self-checkout system. In all, it's a great place to stop by near the train station for fresh or packaged foods!
