Live Music entertainment in Finland

  1. A

    Irish Times

    A convivial Irish bar with a distinctly Finnish flavour, this is a fine choice for an animated night of pubbing. It has an excellent heated terrace at the back, and regular live music and karaoke, while the downstairs bar has pool tables. There’s a snug, friendly feel about the whole set-up. There’s a cover charge at weekends, when it’s at its best.

    O’Connell’s

    Popular with both Finns and expats, this rambling Irish pub is handy for the train station and has plenty of time-worn, comfortable seating and an air of bonhomie. Its best feature is the range of interesting beers on tap and carefully selected bottled imports. They also do hearty pub meals.

    Fall’s Café

    Set among craft shops in a converted brick factory, this bar has a decent range of beers and ciders as well as perhaps Tampere’s cutest terrace, a wedge-shaped balcony right by the water where you can watch crazy little fish jumping vertically in the evening light.

    Tavastia & Semi-final

    There's always something happening at Finland's biggest rock music club. Live bands, including international acts, hit the stage in this hangar-sized venue. Also check out what's on at Semi-final (same contact and opening times), the smaller sister venue.

    Pub Bastun

    This down-to-earth place near the maritime museum has a small terrace and a grassy bank to lie back on with a beer. It has loud live music most weekends in summer; some surprisingly well-known Swedish and Finnish rock groups have played here.

  6. Henry’s Pub

    One of Lakeland’s best rock venues, this atmospheric place has bands playing several times a week, including big Finnish and international names, but it’s a good spot for a drink even if there’s nothing on.

    Club Marin

    One of the best waterside options, this upmarket harbour pavilion is ideal for a beer or wine as the sun sets, or a meal. It’s evening dancing for an older crowd, who enjoy the live bands.

    Papin Nenä

    This large brick building holds both this popular disco that has regular and diverse live acts, and the more sedate Munkhaus bar.

    45 Special

    This grungy club is Oulu’s best rock venue, with wall-to-wall patrons. There’s a €5 cover at weekends and regular live gigs.

    A legendary old sailors boozer right down to the ships’ flags and saucy paintings, with live music and a great terrace.

    This excellent summertime beer terrace in East Harbour is a hang-out for Hanko’s youth and has a good sauna.
