Gastropub Tuulensuu is rich in atmosphere and the service is excellent. The staff know everything what they have and what they will have. Selection mainly consists of Belgian and German beers with loads of classic, rare and even obscure beers as well. Food is excellent, almost as good as the beers they have. My favourite beery place in Finland. Some similarities with Akkurat, actually.

Although it’s called a gastropub, it feels more like a traditional beerhouse where you can also have good food. Excellent selection of lambics and other belgians along with some real ciders and other alcohol drinks. Expert bartenders and a great atmosphere. Among my favourite pubs.

Located near the central Tampere, Gastropub Tuulensuu offers perhaps the best Belgian beer selection in Finland. Lots of own imports in addition of other beers. Selection contains a lot of rare and hard to find bottles and taps even from smaller Belgian breweries. Beer is quite reasonably priced, as is the amazing food. All in all, if you are are a Belgian beer fan, this place is a must visit.

Very cozy and spacey place with large windows to the near-by park. Service and proficiency top-notch. Very good selection of belgian and german beers on bottle and a good variety of beers on tap. Constant self importing keeps the tickers busy all year round. Many well-executed tasting and other events and a clear aim to serve the customers something exciting once in a while. A wide selection of wines and cigars too. The food is also very good with a nice range of selections to be mixed with different kind of beers. One of my haunts. Probably the best in Finland IMO.

Early Tuesday evening, almost empty. Very helpful staff, nice atmosphere, calm background music. Somewhat limited tap selection, but the better bottle selection.

THE gastropub in Tampere.

Popular, crowded and loud pub (at least on weekends). Very nice selection of interesting and hard-to-find beers. Bottles well on display.

Very nice atmosphere. Beer selection is great, plenty of Mikkeller’s products, trappist beers and other rarities. The service is always good, and the personnel is highly skilled. I recommend.

A nice place. Large windows to see the Hämeenpuisto. Good selection of beers. Cantillon on draught. Crowded. Seems to have good kitchen. Didn,t test that myself.

What the other guys said! Rating the food purely on the aroma from neighbouring tables - a garlic-lover’s haven, I’m sure. Seems to have changing additional themes to the beer list, rareties and plenty of classics. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute I was there, and gutted that I had to leave Tampere before opening time the next day. Easy to find - head down Hameenkatu away from the train station until you get to the Hameenpuisto esplanade, then hang a right. 2 blocks and it’s on the right.
Rerate: uprate - nosh good, beers fantastic - I love this place!
