AHJO, Helsinki

Sleek and very Scandinavian, Ahjo Bar and Nightclub serves the Nordic jet-set with stiff drinks and electronic music in the darkly sparkling underground of Ilmatar Restaurant. Catering primarily to a young, European business clientele, Ahjo gets going later in the evening, particularly when Helsinki s hotter DJs are passing through (typically Wednesday through Saturday nights; check website for details and schedule). The cocktail, beer, and wine offerings are extensive and expensive, but the digs are delightful. For the adventurous traveler: a few shots of the local specialty-lakritsi (liquorice)- are a must.
