A friendly bartender and sophisticated cocktails – what more could you want from a bar? We thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

Very good cocktails, also awarded as the best cocktail bar in Helsinki 2026. Small but quiet bar, easy to chat. We were there on a rainy day in the summer so there was plenty of space. I especially recommend the chili cocktail (habanero?) with the glass rimmed with salt and chili seasoning. The best cocktail I've ever had and it tastes great even without alcohol. The bartender might remember the name of the cocktail better than I do 🍸

A really lovely little place with a lot of atmosphere, the interior was perhaps too crowded and there weren't many places to sit, the drinks were really good and personalized❣️ safe atmosphere and really friendly employees who helped you choose just the right drink.

Nice & cozy queer bar in Helsinki, but I think the cocktails are too expensive. 14 € for a small drink is a lot.

Struts is unapologetically the best cocktail bar in Helsinki.
