Helsinki, also called Club Helsinki, is Leicester's late-night gay club at 94 Rutland Street in the Cultural Quarter, opposite Curve. The building was a music shop before it opened as Helsinki Bar in 1983; it later became a gay bar and was refitted as a club around 2010. It had its own dance tent at Leicester Pride 2025. Listings put it open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 23:00 to about 03:30, Friday until 04:00 and Saturday until 05:00, closed Tuesday and Sunday.
