BEER HUNTER'S (Antinkatu 11)  
Pub in the city centre. Also their own whisky brand Old Buck on the list.
A beer pub (their own brand Mufloni also available) but you can also have cocktails and
cigars. They arrange poker-nights every now and then.Real Ale also available. If you're only interested in tasting Old Buck it is advised that before a long journey you contact Beer Hunter's first and ask do they have it at the moment. This is because of only small amount being distilled and the huge demand by customers. Re-evaluated: January 2012. 
Whisky collection: Varies much but about 250 single malts available. No whiskylist available because of relatively fast rotating whisky collection. The staff: When it's hectic (Friday's and Saturday's) the on duty staff (esp. Mika Heikkinen) had the time to tell you about whiskies. Don't have to pay after every dram and they also let me examine the bottles. The environment & atmosphere: A pub environment but still quite basic. A sort of combination of German kneipe and British pub. A good busy pub atmosphere. Variety of collection: Excellent collection that changes all the time. Lots of special bottles available.

This is one of the top whisky places in Finland.
The Whisky Magazine has rated Galle as one of the best
whisky restaurants in the world (62 were listed).
If you feel hungry while after tasting, you can order
some excellent dishes, steaks are about 20-30 euro's,
and they're very tasty... And after a meal you can enjoy
a good cigar (approx. 50 different brands) and of course more whisky...
If you're only interested in tasting Old Buck it is advised
that before a long journey you contact Galle first and ask do
they have it at the moment. This is because of only small amount being
distilled and the huge demand by customers.Re-evaluated: October 2010.
Whisky collection: Approximately 190 single malts available (about 220 whiskies totally). Beautifully placed on the shelves behind the counter. Every now and then they also have their own single malt available: Old Buck (the first Finnish single malt). The staff: The staff on duty had the whisky knowledge and was helpful and let me examine the bottles. Also I didn't have to pay after every dram. I could taste as much as I liked and then paid the whole lot afterwards. Special thanks to whisky guru Mika Heikkinen for his helpful assistance and enjoyable whisky chat. Update: Nowadays you meet mr Heikkinen only at Beer Hunter's which is across the road. The environment & atmosphere: Very modern style restaurant. Maybe a little bit too modern for me, traditional decoration would suit me better. Atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable. Variety of collection: Excellent collection.

Nearby Galle and Beer Hunter's. A good pub
where you also can enjoy a good old British
style pub lunch.Re-evaluated: May 2010.
Whisky collection: Total of about 50 different whiskies (approx. 35 single malts + there was also a good collection of blended whiskies, like quite expensive Johnnie Walker Blue Label). The staff: Basic/good service by the on duty bartender. No whiskylist available. Positive thing was that I didn't have to pay after every dram and they also let me examine the bottles. The bartender kindly also showed one whisky book while I was enjoying my dram. Remember to ask for a nosing glass. The environment & atmosphere: Pub environment and atmosphere. Variety of collection: Better than average collection. Cafe Anton website The location of Cafe Anton What Whisky Forum members think about this restaurant |
