Quality of Drinks
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Basic tap options but things improve in the fridge with some local Lapland-brewed craft beers alongside different styles. A competent back bar.
Style/
Décor
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Small one-room affair, walk through the two doors and a saloon type swing door to a tiny off-beat little hangout with colourful lounge furniture and plants, bookish wallpaper and a little corner bar in a niche.
Atmosphere/
Character
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Simply a cut above the other Rovaniemi options and everyone here knows it. A sense of civilisation in what is otherwise an outpost city. Bohemian with a post-grad audience.
Amenities/
Events
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Snacks, books, board games, TV, occasional events
Value For Money❤️❤️
Typically fairly expensive.
DescriptionWhen you’re hovering one line of latitude below the Arctic circle, your expectations for a good pub are adjusted accordingly. All the more surprising then to find this bar, a slice of cosmopolitan life on the fringe of the town centre. Every bit as relevant as any Helsinki bar you can care to visit, this place is cosy, intimate, off-beat, friendly and one of the best places in the city. Tap beer options are unexciting but bolstered by superior fridge options including local craft ales, while a competent back bar keeps things ticking over fine. If you want to meet some locals and experience the cultural scene, there’s no question that you start here. As it is tiny and very popular, we recommend not leaving it to chance, as you may not find a seat!
