Enjoy the nightlife in Helsinki - The Old Irish Pub.
Something magical happens when the sun dips below the horizon in Helsinki and the city lights flicker on. The energy rises, music pulses through the streets, and people come alive. If you’re on the hunt to explore the night in Helsinki, look no further than the Old Irish, a buzzing two-floor venue in the city centre, packed with music, sports, drinks, and good times. Whether visiting from afar or just stepping out for your regular weekend fix, we have everything you need to turn your night into a story worth telling.
Let’s dive into what makes the nightlife scene perfect and why Old Irish is right in the heart of it.
The Old Irish Pub - Helsinki nightlife
This isn't just any bar. It’s a hub of after-dark culture, where laughter echoes, the drinks flow, and every night feels like the weekend. Old Irish is one of those rare spots that perfectly balances cozy bar comfort with full-blown club vibes, making it a go-to for chilled evenings and wild club nights.
There’s no kitchen, but that means more room for good times. We serve cold beer, classy wine, sharp shots, and cocktails – all with lightning-fast service and a smile.
Want to watch the game? We've got that covered every single day. You’ll find the action live on our massive projectors, from football and hockey to those big Away Days. Grab a pint, cheer with your mates, and let the energy pull you in.
And if you're feeling playful, challenge a friend at our fussball table. It’s the kind of casual fun that turns into loud cheers, bragging rights, and probably another round.
Get the late-night club scene vibe at Old Irish
While Helsinki is filled with cool clubs and bars, something about the vibe at Old Irish hits differently. We may not be your traditional nightclub, but we’ve got enough party energy to rival even the best of them. Think of it as a mix between an Irish pub and a buzzing club culture hotspot with a dancefloor, DJs on the weekends, and that unmistakable party atmosphere.
Sure, you can visit Kaiku for some underground techno, but if you want somewhere to truly feel the crowd, hear the cheers, and jump into the fun, Old Irish is where it’s at.
We’re the ideal stop on your night out before you head deeper into Helsinki's nightlife, or simply the place you stay all night because you never want to leave.
And yes, there’s always a party. Whether it’s a Tuesday or a Saturday, you’ll find the lights low, the crowd high, and the vibe on fire. People dance on the tables, sing from the heart, and celebrete like there’s no tomorrow – because at The Old Irish, the weekend spirit shows up every night.
Get delicious cocktails and beers
Let’s talk drinks. Because a great night out always includes something extraordinary in your glass.
At Old Irish, we’re proud of our selection. Our menu is made for all tastes, from smooth drinks to rich beers and crisp wines. Fancy something strong and quick? We’ve got a shot for that.

You’ll always get high quality and reasonable prices, no matter what you're drinking. More importantly, you’ll get it fast because nobody wants to spend their night waiting at the bar.
We've got you covered with local legends like Karhu and Koff, plus a cold Lagunitas IPA if you're into something hoppy. Shots of Minttu, Salmari, or Jalloviina keep the good times rolling, while Lonkero flows fresh from the tap. You can also mix it up with a Kelkka or Irma drinks, or go for the smooth finish of Finnish gins like Napue or Arctic Blue.
A nightlife experience that feels like home
Step into Old Irish and you’re not just stepping into another bar. You’re stepping into a whole atmosphere.
Warm lights, big cheers, the scent of beer in the air, clinking glasses, and that sweet hum of live music – it’s all there. And the music isn’t just background noise; talented musicians and DJs keep the floor moving and spirits high.
Love electronic music? You’ll probably catch a remix. Want sing-along Irish hits? We’ve got those too. From R&B to acoustic classics, every night sounds a little different, but always hits the right note.
