Pub at helsinki airport terminal 2. Irish pub style and crowded almost all the time. Basic taps, but bottles are changing and there might be something interesting

Very nice beer pub in Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. Prices are bit high. Quite good selection for small airport pub. Some Finnish micros also in tap. Regular place before take-off.

Centrally located pub in the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport Terminal 2. The beer selection is most surprisingly good for an airport pub and includes both international classics and brews from domestic small breweries, such as Stallhagen. Quite expensive even on the Finnish scale, but not particularly expensive in the airport scale. The way the staff tries to sell Schapps as a compliment to beer is plain pushy. They seem generally more interested in selling things than actually serving the customer.

The airport pub of Helsinki-Vantaa airport. For an airport- pub, a very wide selection of beers, and the only place in Finland I know that has Beamish on tap. You will not find rarities, but at least one example of every popular style. English-pub- feeling. Happy on-vacation customers. Fond memories.

Well for an airport bar, one after the security checks, this is fairly bizarre and with a very broad and interesting range (Traquair House Ale??). Not much different pricewise from Helsinki itself.

As said, this is an obvious spot for beer lover at Helsinki Airport. As bars at the airports are usually very poor, this qualifies as one of the best in the world. Yes, there is not much competition. They have 10ish taps and 20+ bottles. Decent selection, Orkney, Sierra Nevada, Fullers, Ayinger but sometimes you can get some Finnish micro on tap (Stallhagen, Teerenpeli). Bartenders usually try to sell you extra schnapps or wurts.

Obvious place to stop by when at Helsinki Airport. Small selection of regional and international draught and bottled beers. No decent food though and rather high prices. Ok service. Taking into account it is on the airport I would say it is ok.

Not bad for an airport pub. Rather OK selection. Very expensive though. Worth visiting if you’re in Helsinki-Vantaa.

Nice airport pub. Classic British beers such as Fuller’s London Porter and some not-so-known Finnish beers as well. Prices were really high, 8.50 euros for London Porter for example. Lefebvre Floreffe Blonde and Dubbel were there as well and they weren’t that pricey (7.10 euros per bottle).
Service was good but I didn’t like how they tried to sell schnapps and peanuts with the beer. Other than that no problems. This is the place to drink beer at Hki-Vantaa airport.

Of all the airport bars in the world that I’ve been to this is probably the nicest to drink at. It’s quite a pleasant little bar, cosy and finished in dark wood. Beer selection has no real gems, but a whole bunch of classics in different styles, and if nothing inspires you - grab a whisky.
