Inside a glorious high-ceilinged, timber-panelled former bank dating from 1893, this jewel of a bar has a serious drinks list, with over 100 different beers categorised by taste and provenance, along with a stellar selection of 20 ciders and 20 astutely chosen wines. Expert staff can guide you through the offerings. The small, supremely elegant space creates an intimate atmosphere.

Its wine-bar sibling, Vin-Vin, is in Kamppi.
