Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Excellent and varied music played, friendly and one of those places where you feel very much at home straight away. Well done out with a variety of rock themed memorabilia . The bar is very well stocked with a wide variety of everything alcoholic, including...plenty of Finnish products. My only regret is I only spent one night here as I'd booked various aurora tours the nights following my visit. Worth mentioning this rock bar on the Arctic Circle is open while 3 on every week nights. I don't get that living in a major UK city. In short just a very pleasant place to be.More

If you love Rock, Metal then this place is for you! Awesome stuff, good atmosphere, beer is beer! We had amazing New Year's night at this place and it was really worth it to meet Locals, who are very social people, crazy Finnish!

WOW!!! This place is absolutely amazing! We walked past during the day and returned in the evening for something to eat and to soak in the cool vibe. So much rock memorabilia to check out. Super friendly service, nice food. Coolest toilet ever! Highly recommend...if you are in or going to RovaniemiMore

Found this place just around the corner of our hotel. My partner and I are both into rock and metal, so we had to check it out. We ordered a drink. The music was great. Soon we had another round. The only reason we left,...was because we were only staying 1 night in Rovaniemi and we had a long drive to our next location, otherwise we could have partied all night there, especially with the sun not going down. The relics on the wall made the atmosphere. Yes, I love Lordi. It was the only band I ever televoted for since normally I hate Eurosong. I also heard teenage sentiment metal for me there. It just brought me back to the old rock and metal pub in my hometown in Antwerp, Belgium, that never was the same after it relocated. I just wish the pub was behind the corner of my house instead of the one of a hotel that was just for 1 night that might have been more in my opinion.More

This is an amazing place. I love the people that go here, and the people that work here. I'm not a "rocker" or anything, but the atmosphere at this place is great. We had a bachelor party going on in Rovaniemi, and the staff here...welcomed us with open arms and even participated in our fun and games.More

We don’t like revisiting venues on holiday as it’s a wasted opportunity to find somewhere new…. BUT… We ended up in Paha Kurkis on every day of out holiday! They have more memorabilia than any Hard Rock and is also spotlessly clean. The staff are...amazing and friendly, and had no problems with us bringing our well behaved toddler in. Also – free popcorn! Would love to come back here.More

Really nice place for hard rock lovers. The walls are covered with relics and instruments. If you like Lordi, check out this place (special surprise) The bartender is really helpful and gave us some good rock and metal places all around Finland

Cozy small rock restaurant meant mainly for spending time and drinking. They also serve some basic finger food like wings and cheese sticks. Really friendly atmosphere and good service. Great place to spend evening with friends

I reached the bar ard 7.30pm and there was only the owner and maybe their friends. So, the bar very quiet. I like how the lady handle a middle-aged Finnish guy (Perhaps drunk, inappropriate behavior). She somehow sent him off the bar so that he...won't disturb customer. Good music and good beer!More
