Aussie Bar

Helsinki


With plenty of ‘G’days’, this laid-back watering hole doesn’t miss a cliché. Beneath the corrugated iron and faux-colonial fittings, it serves Down Under beers and snacks such as meat pies, screens major sporting events, and has live bands and DJs from Tuesday to Saturday. Weekends are especially raucous.
