Entertainment in Kuopio

  1. Ale Pupi

    Kuopio’s nightlife is conveniently strung along Kauppakatu, running east from the market square to the harbour. Here, grungy but likeable AlePupi has a huge interior, surprisingly classy decor and big drawcards of cheap beer and karaoke.

    Wanha Satama

    Down by the harbour, Wanha Satama is a noble light blue colour with an immense terrace, definitely the place to be on a sunny day if you’re not on the water itself. They also serve up fairly pricey meals.

    Helmi

    Located in a 19th-century stone building near the harbour, Helmi is a downmarket bar with an excellent terrace. It has no frills but does four things, and does them well: pizzas, panini, salads and seriously cheap beer.

  4. 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.

    K Klubi

    This is one of Kuopio's best bars, with an eclectic bunch of punters, ranging from a bohemian, arty older set to discerning students who value Finnish rock and loathe Europop. Always interesting.

    K Klubi

    Always interesting, this bar is friendly and bohemian, with a range of punters listening to alternative sounds. It’s definitely not flash, but it’s definitely one of Kuopio’s best.

    Giggling Marlin

    This is a frenetic 'Suomi pop' club with DJs, dancing on the table, theme nights and plenty of youthful enthusiasm. Minimum age of 22 at weekends.

    Albatrossi

    Across the way from Wanha Satama, Albatrossi is a summer pub, set in old wooden warehouses.
