The Finns are a gregarious lot who love to drink, party and enjoy life. Find them on weekends at bars, rock shows and cocktail lounges to nightclubs and live music venues. Entrance to most bars is free, although clubs do charge a fee. The minimum age limit is 18, while sometimes these may be extended to 20, 22 or even 24. Do carry your IDs, as bouncers are known to check at the door for proof of age.
