The Bull and the Firm in Kallio runs a kitchen and a cocktail bar in one room, so dinner slides into late drinks, a rare proper late kitchen in the area.
Try: A la carte plates and cocktails
Tip: Order food before the kitchen winds down, then stay at the bar for cocktails. One of Kallio's better late-evening rooms.

Wino in Kallio keeps pouring Old World natural wine and small plates until midnight on weekends, a late, low-lit option for a glass and a bite by Karhupuisto.
Try: Natural wine and small plates
Tip: Kitchen runs to 10pm, wine to midnight on weekends. A calmer late option than the bars, with beef tartare and ravioli on offer.
