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.

I've had three dinners here lately and the rating is based on these: The amount of food is sufficient or perhaps even a bit more but the tastes are slightly below average. The looks are fine. Common basic beverages are expensive especially considered that you're not in the very centre.
Kolmen päivällisen perusteella keskimäärin: Ruoan määrä on sopivasti vaikuttava - täyttyy hyvin. Kuitenkin makuelämys jättää parantamisen varaa. Ruoat näyttävät kyllä hyviltä. Perusjuomat hintavia varsinkin huomioiden sen, että paikka ei ole ihan ydinkeskustassa.

We finally found it after reading reviews on here. Frontage had altered so couldn't initially see name. It is oldy worldy, with a new covered, glass fronted terrace. Tables by bar just for having drinks and then more tables, sofas on a higher level for food and drinks. Initially missed the menu as it looks like a newspaper! Service was good, choice of beers on menu plus a dozen more written above the bar. These need to be checked out as they alter. Staff were happy to make recommendations about food and beer.
You can pay and taste 5 beers, blind. They arrive in black glasses so you cannot see the colour.
We visited several times and recommended to other friends who were also there for the Ice Hockey. We went at different times of the day and food was always hot and plentiful.
There were reservation notices on some tables, but the same as here. They say this table is booked for a certain time and you can sit at it as long as you vacate before the time booked.
We were never rushed or made to feel unwelcome. Staff were courteous, their English was good and they corrected our attempt at Finnish.
The menu gave a good selection, good portion size and piping hot. My favourite was the meatballs in a creamy gravy sauce and mashed potato. My husbands was the local black pudding (served hot as a sausage) with mashed potato. The mashed potato was so creamy it was delicious. All mains came with grated beetroot and the Finnish version of sauerkraut.
They sell their beer in bottles to take home and it is 2 euros cheaper than the shops. They had brewed a special lager, Hoki, for the Ice Hockey World Championships plus promotional material such as pucks and hockey shirts. All the staff wore the hockey shirts.
A wonderful find.
I would definitely recommend a visit here.

We were greeted by a very friendly barman who explained where we could sit for lunch (we hadn't booked - although we did get a table, I would recommend making a reservation). We ended up sitting in the heated covered terrace, which was a really nice spot, even though it wasn't right in the middle of the action. Our waitress was also lovely and personable. We had the tamperelainen and pyttipannu; both were delicious and the portion sizes are large! There's a mix of German and Finnish food, with lots of traditional Finnish options (classics are marked with a K). There's a beer pairing recommendation with each dish, which was a nice touch for a brewery. The restaurant is in the city centre and easy to find, and we found it good value for money.

I have been to Plevna multiple times since i have lived my entire life at Tampere. For a long time i was left wondering what the hype about Plevna is. Went there a month ago with frends and was really dissapointed in the "currywurst" if you have ever had currywurst you understand that this dish has almost nothing to do with currywurst. In finnish we call it nakkikastike what they serve and i have to say it is quite disqusting. If you dont have tastebuds and you just want to fill yourself cheap thats the dish to go to. Last night i went again with my girlfriend and ordered a peppersauce steak. Then it hit me. I had eaten this before. It was 1998 as a kid in another small restaurant in Tampere so not much has changed. The dish was lets say ok but it did not arouse any sort of emotion exept dissapointment and maybe sympathy. This restaurant is sadly riding the wave with its former success and fame. I think before these dishles i havne had atleast the sausage pan. Its usually burned from the bottom and the sausages dont taste what they are supposed to be atleast not for someone who has visited germany.
The beers are just 10/10 on finnish beer scale. cant give any negative comments about them.
I really really hope. Someone from the restaurant sees this and really thinks about what could be done. For me id say redo the dishes so that they are actually from 2021 and not 1996. Standards have grown quite a lot from those times.
As a closing. Go to plevna to have a beer maybe some of their chips. Enjoy the atmosphere and go eat somewhere where they actually make decent food.

I ordered a smoked reindeer flammkuchen for starters. The service was quite slow (45min) but the staff informed about this before sitting down. The flammkuchen was well prepared and tasty. However the meatballs and smashed potatoes I had for main course was way too salty. I felt there must have been few teaspoons too much in the sauce or the meat. I couldt finish the dish, the chef said it was ok and the waiter said they are normally ”quite salty”. I asked for a refund and was given 50% discount which was fair. However I left the place hungry and disappointed. The beers were good.

I visited Plevna twice this month, and was disappointed both times mostly due to the service, which is sad because I have always liked their food.
First time we sat in a table which was next to a side table. The waiter brought a big pile of dirty half-eaten plates to that table, and left them there for like 15mins. The smell was awful.
The second time they served a cold steak to my friend. She complained multiple times, and only refund she got was a cup of coffee: no new meal or a discount of the meal that she could not eat.

Absolutely a nice place to taste the brewery's beers. We used to enjoy liver steaks, but now the level of the meal had dropped. There was no taste in mashed potatoes and the cooking of the liver must be more precise.

This traditional brewery restaurant Plevna is located in the Finlayson factory area. The restaurant hall is reminiscent of Central European beer cellars and halls.
Plevna is a former industrial building. When completed in 1877, the building had the largest weaving hall in the Nordic countries. Plevna was also the first building that got electric lights in the Nordic countries. They came in 1882.
Instead of beer, we tasted Grandma's blackcurrant cider on the glazed terrace. It was self-service from the bar downstairs.

The food is average, the area for eating is rather small which does not allow safety distancing. The staff is nice and obligatory, however, I wanted to leave as soon as I finished. Probably a nice brewery restaurant, as accent was obviously on a beer.

The quality of the food has deteriorated drastically recently! Their “Pyttipannu” was exactly like Oolanti’s frozen dish (4€) and Curry wurst was like regular sausage sauce with very little sauce (once upon a time they made their own German sausages). Even their beers tasted milder than before! I wonder what has happened! Even still, the place is always full based on its earlier reputation. Wouldn’t eat here again.

They kindly accepted us (8 pax) despite being already overwhelmed.
Very nice beer selection, food was reasonably good in large enough portion.
Service was naturally extremely slow...
Sadly, this is what I remembered after last time I was there, with some colleagues a few years back, and probably what I’ll remember next time too.

We had a great time here in a German type of environment with lots of sausages, sauerkraut and beer from its own production. Service was good and rather quick despite lots of guests. There is an in house shop to buy a selection of beers as a souvenir.

We went in search of salmon soup and rye bread which we had been told had been voted most popular food in Tampere - and found the lowest article at Plevia. The liver with bacon and onions almost as good! Great restaurants - great staff! Don't miss it!

We had a family lunch here. The portions were huge and we could not eat them all. Also good selection of interesting beers. One of the family took salad which was not among the best ones. Otherwise would have given 5 stars.
