I had some brews with Karstein in east Helsinki's local joint Pikkulintu (en. "perching bird")
It is located in the ugliest imaginable concrete shopping mall, but instead of fighting and karaoke they've got 250 sorts of whiskies and a well-thought selection of small Nordic beers. The pub was appropriately selected The Beer Bar of the Year at the Helsinki Beer Festival.
Curiously enough, in addition to the bird motive, by using Helsinki's main railway track as a line of reference, Pikkulintu's location is antipodal to the Gallows Bird in Espoo.
