Our Take

Helsinki's Heritage Theatre Bar

Teatteri is the bar attached to the Helsinki Swedish Theatre — a heritage 1860s building on the Esplanadi park. The cocktail bar overlooks the park with floor-to-ceiling windows, terrace seating in summer, and a polished cocktail program.

The crowd is post-theatre Helsinki professionals and visiting Esplanadi tourists. The cocktail menu is broad rather than deep but well-executed. Reservations recommended for the weekend.

Pair with Grotesk after for more precise cocktails.

What to Order

Teatteri Old Fashioned

Bourbon, demerara, orange. The signature.

Cosmopolitan

Vodka, cranberry, lime, triple sec. Crowd-pleaser, properly built.

Champagne by the Glass

Multiple options. For pre/post-theatre.

Espresso Martini

Vodka, espresso, kahlua. Late-night staple.
