We went to this place on a Sunday evening after having a nice dinner in Helsinki. This place definitely had a comfortable vibe but we were really surprised that there were not many people hanging out here even though it was summertime in Helsinki. The beer selection was pretty impressive, and I remembered having some beer at this place and it was refreshing. We also had plenty of liquor shots at this place. I also remember sitting on the seats, and they were definitely very comfortable, probably one of the most comfortable bars I sat down. There’s also plenty of board games if you’re looking for some more fun with your drinks. Overall, if you are looking for a bar with a great beer selection along with a comfortable setting in Helsinki, this place is pretty good. I had a great time with my new friends at this place despite the lack of people during that time of the evening. I would recommend this place if you want a variety of beer and a cosy setting.

This pub is probably the best beer place in Helsinki. Quite a big variety of taps and bottles, and everybody can find something for himself. Place is pretty big, often crowded, located at the city center and still not very expensive. Guys, just add a bit of music there and it will be even more cool :).

Great beer selection and friendly staff. Bonus for having board games available. Played Catan and drank beer for several hours until closing time.

Nice place, great beer selection. We popped in for one here on a late weekend afternoon, and it was getting pretty crowded. I think I’d probably limit my visits to less-trafficked times, but it’s cozy inside and I could see sticking around for a couple of leisurely pints.

S Group Alert! Kaisla has definitely got quite an enormous beer selection. Thumbs up for that. But then again this joint is part of the huge S Group corporation, which kinda spoils whatever it touches. Up to you, and call me a commie, but I usually wanna stay away from soulless service, inflated prices and ready-made dishes.

Kaisla(the straw) at Kaisaniemi metro station is a cozy and welcoming pub with lots of space for small and large groups. And now that it’s cold, dark and windy outside it feels even nicer to sit down here with some friends and have a pint of tapped local Christmas beer from Helsinki’s Stadin microbrewery. Or do you rather fancy an international classic? Something from Belgium, Germany or the Czech Republic maybe? No worries, the bar tender will be able to help you with that.
