Visited it after a workshop on the conference with a couple of colleagues/friends. Big old school building, remember someone saying how they went to school there before and after it was converted went there with classmates for beers. Only to find out that their old classroom was a toilet then :D. I could dig that, though not exactly the place I’d imagine to go out drinking during the night. The guy behind the bar was friendly ’nuff. I think the wi-fi didn’t work here either (or it was my phone, again). 3 lagers on tap (Juhla-Aura, Reksi, Oktober) - nothing too brilliant but still nice + some ciders they seemed to be very proud of (and the apple one was certainly quite likable). Don’t remember the prices now, but I’m quite sure they weren’t terrible compared to some other places. | | drpimento (120), La Crosse, Wisconsin | | September 17, 2011
Went there tonight for food and beer. I liked the old stone building, different rooms with different themes. They had some decent live music. Beers weren’t bad but the food was fabulous! Service overall was pretty good, but it was spotty at times. Crowd was on the young side, but also had some middle aged and a geezer or two. I got a souvenir tshirt and mug.. Prices were a little steep, but this is Scandinavia after all. I’d like to return someday. | | Psytron (10), Turku, Finland | | August 16, 2011
Serves only own beers - 4-6 alternatives is very little, although there is seasonal variation. Very large patio in summertime, worth visiting then. Food is decent, no gourmet but beats the basic bulk fast food. Worth a visit if you are from out-of-town, but as a local one gets pretty quickly bored with the selection. | | tkrjukoff (108), , Sweden | | July 30, 2011
Visited 26nd of July for lunch buffet, sat inside on the second floor. Terrible service, unpleasant elder lady who looked sour and treated us with no friendliness what so ever. Even the other female waiter didn’t show a slightest effort for customer satisfaction. 5 beers on tap, very thin I think for a place as big as Koulu. Quality of beers not that impressive, average beer to fit for the general Finnish pilsener/lager profile I think. Food was so and so. Not worth the money. | | Chiswick (11), , England | | March 21, 2011
A nice addition to the city’s drinking scene. Serves it’s own beers, which is very respectable and nice. The problem is though, that the selection suffers really badly for not serving any other beers from different brewers. Yes, you will and want to taste what they have, but I ended up liking only one of their products, and that said, I’m not that likely to go there often. The selection has to be broadened, although I admire them for serving their own beer and believing in it. The ambience is quite cold although the building is nice. A lot of seats to choose from, but still it seems a bit too cold and big for my taste. In general, a nice unique place worth visiting. | | rosenbergh (243), Helsinki, Finland | | December 5, 2010
The building and interior is the thing. Rest is what it is, nothing interesting. Only Lagers (Koulu) on tap. Service was quite typical to Finnish bars... poor.

Not bad place, good beers and meals. | | liinis (23), Helsinki, Finland | | August 22, 2009
Big and ample place and a very nice summer terrace. Even with a playground for children (not that I would admit going to a bar with a child) A BIg bonus is that they make their own beers. I recommended. | aphalo (4), Turku, Finland

Restaurant with their own brewery (you can also buy beers to take with you). Koulu’s beers differ from year to year, but especially Portteri and Maisteri are worth of testing.
Food is reasonably priced and OK. Just remember to order your snacks/cheese/food to have with bear/wine early enough, because kitchen closes pretty early. | | austone (11), Turku; Pori, Finland | | December 1, 2008
Building is beautiful, service is extremely poor, liver is good, the beers are dull and I’m not much of a fan. |
