Harju 8 on Harjutori is a Kallio corner that works as a cafe by day and a wine-and-beer bar by night, with outdoor tables facing a quiet neighbourhood square.
Signature drink: Natural wine and beer
Food: Snacks and small plates
Tip: Coffee in the morning, natural wine in the evening. The square-facing tables are the spot on a warm Kallio afternoon.
Siltanen on Hämeentie is a Kallio mainstay, a bar and terrace by day and a club by night, with weekend DJs, a big summer terrace and pizza to share.
Signature drink: Beer and house cocktails
Food: Pizza and snacks
Tip: The terrace is the summer draw; the back room turns into a dance floor late on weekends. Cash or card, casual dress.

Signature drink: Rum-forward cocktails
Food: Snacks

Signature drink: Bespoke cocktails in a 1900s detective-agency setting
Food: None
Tip: Look for the unmarked door and ring the buzzer. Cocktails run around 17 euros; reserve, as the room is tiny.
Chihuahua Julep on Erottajankatu drew international notice for its agave-leaning cocktails and a no-phone policy that keeps the room conversational.
