Café Milou
Named after Tin Tin's hound, this place is away from the main strip but packs in students with its relaxed vibe, bookshelves filled with comics, and service so rude it's almost comical. There's a small terrace.

Never Grow Old
This enduringly popular bar hits its stride after , with plenty of dancing, DJs and revelry in the tightly packed interior. The goofy décor includes some seriously comfortable and some really uncomfortable places to sit, and a log-palisade bar that seems designed to get you to wear your drink.

A more typically Finnish place than St Michaels, with leopard-skin and a vaguely French theme; they also do tasty food.
