one of the better bars in Helsinki. friendly barkeeper from New York. Nice athmosphere, good music, regular prices. the paninis there are actually not bad. :)

Pretty good pub/bar right in the city center. Being next to editing offices of the finland’s biggest news paper, Painobaari is a place where journalists go to have a beer(or usually more than one — you know how those people are!) Also those artsytypes from Kiasma(Museum of Modern Art) go there regularly. Along with the basic beer selection they have a food menu too: Meatballs, Falafels, Pelmenis and such. Pub stuff. Every once in a while they have some performers, bands and like — check the website for dates and information.
