Eira, Helsinki
Helsinki's Summer Baltic Seafront Bar
Mattolaituri is a summer-only seafront bar on the Baltic in Eira. The wooden deck over the water is one of the best Helsinki places to drink. From May to September the bar runs full afternoons. Closed in winter.
The drinks are simple — Finnish beer, basic cocktails, reliable wine — but the deck and the view are the experience. The food is light Finnish summer plates.
The crowd is mid-thirties Helsinki locals and travellers seeking the Baltic summer experience. Pair with the wider Helsinki summer bar scene for a complete waterfront evening.
