Drinks & Nightlife
Cool bar in hip Kallio district. Cozy bar that transforms into a vibrant nightclub on weekend nights. Different music styles depending on the night. If you're more into electronic music and clubbing, there's also two "real" nightclubs in the same building, called Kaiku and Kuudes linja (entrances are on the other side of the building).
