Nightlife
The Helsinki night is filled with music, people and electricity. The city has an active nightlife throughout the year, and there is a good mix of different type of bars and nightclubs to suit all tastes. In addition, a broad selection cafés and restaurants guarantees that the right atmosphere can be found for any evening.
Just to name few, Molly Malones (Kaisaniemenkatu 1) is a popular Irish Pub both among locals and visitors alike offering live music every evening. Every night except Sundays there is a jazz band performing in Storyville (Museokatu 8), which is ranked among the best jazz clubs in Europe. Close to the railway station, On the Rocks (Mikonkatu 15) is the place for those rock'roll spirited souls, and newly renovated Sports Academy (Kaivokatu 8) is a heaven for all sports-enthusiastics. For an exotic experience you may try Zetor (Kaivopiha), Finland’s fabulous traktor restaurant. If the weather is nice, you may want to join the locals and enjoy bright June evenings in numerous open-air terraces along Esplanadi and Mikonkatu. Traditional Café Ursula (Ehrenströmintie 3) in Kaivopuisto is known for its beautiful seaside scenery.
