Our Take
Helsinki's Historical Decade Cocktail Tasting
A21 Decades is the second floor of A21 — a cocktail tasting room built around themed historical-decade menus. Each year features a different decade (1920s, 1950s, 1970s) with cocktails authentic to the era. 16 seats, reservations required.
The bartenders walk through the cocktail history before pouring — what bar invented the drink, when, and how. The most educational cocktail bar in Finland. Reservations 14 days ahead.
Pair with A21 (downstairs) for a more casual cocktail before the decades tasting.
