Goldfish lies in the district, at the intersection of idyllic Ullanlinna, bohemian Punavuori, and the city center, is evident. Since 2018, this bar has transformed drinks into holistic experiences within its unique environment. Housed in the historically significant Ohrana building, constructed in 1889, Goldfish adds its own chapter to the illustrious history. Once serving as the office of Marshal Mannerheim himself, a renowned bon vivant with a taste for cocktails, this building now hosts Helsinki's most stylish cocktail bar.

Goldfish draws inspiration from the library bars of London's luxury hotels and the finest cocktail bars around the world. The intimate and elegant 45-seat bar is divided into three differently sized spaces, perfect for various customer events, team nights out, and celebrations. Whether reserving a table for the evening or dropping by for a quick glass of champagne, the atmosphere is always warm, and thirsty patrons are warmly welcomed.

A blend of classics and creative drinks

The drink menu is playfully curated, blending seasons and surprising flavor combinations. Seasonality is reflected in the drinks through fresh ingredients, the fruits of skilled bartenders' craftsmanship. The seasonal drink menu offers a journey of experience to the dimly lit bars of world metropolises, introducing both classics and newer acquaintances. With classic drinks, one knows exactly what to expect, while the creative ones require a bit of adventurous spirit. Choosing between classics and creative drinks should be done wisely: both are worth trying. Goldfish's extensive champagne list caters to even the most discerning wine lovers, regardless of the evening's nature. Martinis are served here in the style of Bond: shaken, not stirred.

A full-service bar also offers a comprehensive wine list, beers, sakes, and high-quality small bites.
