A bar in a former school

If you are looking for an authentic Nordic place where you can chat with your friends and enjoy a glass of beer, then Panimoravintola Koulu is perfect place for you. It is a former school, and many parts of the school have been turned into a bar environment. This bar is well furnished with wooden decorations and furniture, giving you a glimpse of Nordic interior design. This bar only serves their own brews, which means that there may be some creative brews from time to time.
