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.

We were lured in here by my friends instagram. We had both seen this place while going past individually quite a few times and somehow ended up here. Definitely not a waste of sneakers, this place has a really nice beach hut -atmosphere which we enjoy, relatively close to the centrum. A good selection of coctails and the owner is very friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend!

Very convenient location next to the river and a short walk from the centre of town. Reasonable prices and very friendly staff. I picked this bar at random from the many to choose from along the river. I chose a comfortable seat in the shade but there were seats and tables available in the sun too.

A bar with friendly staff and a chill atmosphere. Delicious drink menu and good snacks, I recommend the Dark and Stormy.
Vegan friendly.
A definite favorite in Turku and always worth a visit.

If you need a little taste of an exotic atmosphere, you will find it here. With a wide range of cocktails on the menu, great service and excellent people/ car watching spot.

Best afterwork chillout bar. Very friendly staff and dog friendly. Drinks are reasonably priced for a small summer bar.

Very laid back and friendly.. we went for a drink mid afternoon but it gets busy in evenings particularly weekends.
Feels like a bar on the beach! Beside the River Aura.
Very dog friendly.
