Our Take

Helsinki's Whisky-Heavy Speakeasy

Liberty or Death is a speakeasy themed cocktail bar in Kruununhaka with a serious back bar of around 150 whiskies. The room is preserved 1920s American — leather banquettes, dim warm lighting, brass fittings — and the cocktail programme is committed to classical discipline.

The drinks are precise. The Old Fashioned uses premium bourbon by default. The whisky list runs deep into Scotland and America with a small Japanese layer.

The crowd is mid-thirties Helsinki professionals and visiting cocktail enthusiasts. Pair with A21 Cocktail Lounge for a complete Helsinki cocktail evening.
