Liberty or Death — Restaurant in Helsinki sub-region

We ended up here as the skybar at Hotel Torni was closed, I like to try new things but already have my taste/ type of cocktails so went with a specific drink in my mind. It is a mezcalita, which I had one of the best at Negra Tomasa in Tulum or can be a long drink made of mezcal and passion fruit puree, so far The Liar Man in Athens did the best.

Here they didn’t have passion fruit, nor purée to my surprise. They had a pre-made cocktail that contained mezcal and passion fruit too, I was hesitant as pre-made cocktails are hardly ever good (one exception is Granazi in Nicosia, Cyprus) at the end unfortunately I let myself to be convinced by the staff. Well the cocktail came from a big plastic bottle and it had nothing to do with passion fruit flavour, it had a very mild mezcal taste, wonder how much alcohol they really put in it plus it came in plastic glass :( I should have listened to my gut feeling, anyway the staff offered to change it, I didn’t want to be too picky and asked for some lime to make it more sour as it was far too sweet.

As it is a recommended place with quite good reviews I didn’t want to leave with a bitter mood, we ordered another round from their signature cocktails, good that we did that. The negroni with basil was very good and refreshing but the winner was the C.R.E.A.M -rum based cocktail with raspberry foam on top, it was something special.

All in all the place is ok, nothing special in terms of atmosphere or design, small bar, plastic glasses are a shame, also normally better cocktail bars serve you a small portion of salty nuts or snack next to your drink, I was missing that. Staff was very friendly thought and offered me a 10% discount on my bill for the pre-made cocktail I...

Liberty or Death is not just a bar; it's a rebellious cocktail haven that makes you question your life choices—in the best way possible. The star of the show? A drink that's not for the faint-hearted, infused with jalapeños that kick your taste buds into a realm of spicy enlightenment. It's like a fiesta in your mouth, and you'll be questioning whether you're sipping a cocktail or participating in a hot pepper challenge.

But let's talk about the glassware – a stroke of genius. Picture this: a glass with a face that's like the love child of an ancient Inka warrior and a mischievous emoji. It stares at you as you sip, silently judging your life decisions and daring you to take another spicy gulp. The glass alone deserves an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in a...

All in all an okay experience ruined by weird service. The place seats weren’t that comfy but everything was okay at first. One lady was very sweet to us at the beginning. But later on another lady came to ask in “are you planning to go somewhere or do you wanna order more”. We were 7 people there for less than 3 hours and it was not even close to their closing time. During our stay each person ordered at least 1 cocktail and some even more. The audacity of the second lady is just baffling. I and my friends have never been asked to leave or spend more in a cocktail bar. Unless you tell this is how they treat customers in Finland. Some of the drinks weren’t even that...
