The best places fr ear evening drinks with a view are Hotel Torni (Tower) bar, and Loiste.

Helsinki is a real party town, much more so than major European cities. Most c;lubs stay iopen until 4 am, and it is not uncommon to party until that time. In the fall every company organizes a christmas party on one of the weekends and th clubs can be realy full.

Many restaurants can disappoint in Helsinki. Safe bets are eg Strindberg upper floor, Gastone for best Italian food in town Loiste for little snacks (pintxos) and light meals.
