Dating from 1867, this grand bar-cafe opens to an outdoor terrace seating 350 people and has regular jazz, blues and folk music in the nearby bandstand in Esplanadin Puisto from May to August. Locals and visitors alike flock here on a sunny day.
Now used for private functions, its cellar was a speakeasy during Finland's prohibition era (1919 to 1932), and still has paintings on its walls that were given in lieu of payment from artists at the time.
