Shot Bar Helsinki — Restaurant in Helsinki sub-region

HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this bar by chance. Unfortunately, the experience left us deeply unsettled. First, the bar operates without table service, which is fair enough, it’s their policy. It’s not my personal preference, but that’s fine. Drinks? Average. Nothing particularly memorable, but nothing outright terrible either (I had a white russian and my boyfriend had a beer). It’s a place that survives on gimmicks rather than quality. The much-hyped “drink roulette wheel” might seem quirky on social media, but it hardly justifies a visit. You’d be better off letting a randomizer on Google choose your next drink. However, what made this visit unforgettable, not in a good way, was the profoundly uncomfortable atmosphere. At one point, a visibly drunk man in his sixties, scruffy with a beard, walked in laughing and loudly ordered a “Naughty School Girl”. The sheer vulgarity of that moment made my skin crawl. To add to the unease, the walls are plastered with appalling decorations that only amplified the sense of a place that celebrates outdated, crude humor. I voiced my concerns to the staff, but the environment made it abundantly clear that this establishment caters to a certain crowd—a crowd I find deeply troubling. The entire experience left me feeling disgusted and unsafe. After all this me and my boyfriend left immediately, appalled and speechless.

Perfect dive bar and called Shot Bar for a reason! This place felt like such a throwback to early 2000s with the eclectic decor and music choices. Excellent service, mixed crowd and everyone seemed to be having so much fun!

Our favorite detail was the shot wheel of fortune! We spinned it three times and each shot was more unique than the next. We got Smurf Fart and B52. Perfect place to hit start the weekend.

Definitely...

I like this idea of a shot bar. It is for people wandering through city center visiting bars which in many cases are so similar. This one is a bit different. Premises are quite small, though, and it's hardly a place for whole evening. Besides, only techno music all the time during my visit. There are lots of shots available, as well as two basic lagers and...
