Café Mascot, Helsinki

A second home for many of the 20-something people of Kallio, Mascot feels stylish but not too posh; trendy, but still hosts a comfortable "pub" atmosphere. They serve up beer that's good but not too expensive. It's easy to just pop in, get a pint of beer or a cup of coffee, and grab a newspaper or magazine to read (and they've got a lot to choose from!). The main seating area and bar are on street level; pool tables and a smoking room sit upstairs, and behind the counter you can also ask for a chess board, Trivial Pursuit, or other board games for free. -Tuuli Tammenkoski
