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.

Some interesting beers and also a decent cider. We can’t comment on the food as we didn’t partake. Staff were friendly and the building is impressive, it’s well worth having a wander around. It reminded us of a small railway station but was in fact...a girls school back in the day. The occasional desk here and there testifies to this. Worth a visit for the building alone in our opinion.More

When passing by this place in central Turku I had to go inside to have a look at this brewery-restaurant in an end-19th century building. There were several halls in there, also an outdoor area, called in the German way 'Biergarten', but which didn't look...very atmospheric to me, so I decided to go for dinner elsewhere. Before leaving though I went to their bar, having a 'Koulu', one of their own draught beers, which was quite good.More

Absurdly large food portions, but very tasty. It was sad when the stomach was completely full after eating half of it. Food was easily found on the list for both adults and children. A wonderful milieu in summer Turku.

The premises are nice, in an old school. Should be more beers available, and a larger counter for customers, since it's trying to be a local brewery bar. And about the restaurant... The sausages and french fries portion was basically just an expensive huge pile...of fries, not much else. Visit Plevna, Tampere, instead, for both food and beers.More

They have their own beers, which I tried two of, and both were excellent in their own styles. The burger was magnificent, especially the apple BBQ-sauce. The decor brought back... well... memories, not sure if good ones. Very nice place to visit, if you would...need to pick just one pub to visit in Turku this would be it.More

Having been a student in the end of the 70's this was of course a special visit for me, it is not every day you drink beer in your old school. The place is very nice, a perfect spot for having a beer or two...with your friends. The interior is quite nice too, respecting the history of the building.More

This restaurant is situated in a beautiful building that is a former Neo-Renaissance style school building from 1889. It has a large selection of beers. In addition to the interesting interior, there is a summer terrace in the courtyard.

The building is an old school in the center of Turku. It is an restaurant and also a micro brewery. This place might be at best in the summer and for us in Finland it means June to August. If we are lucky May and...September can be also nice. We had a lunch in one of the old school rooms that still has old geographical school maps on the walls. Summertime this is very nice to enjoy a beer or a coffee or something else in the yeard.More

Lunch is home-style food, quite ok but not so many options for vegetarians. On Thursdays they have very tasty dessert: homemade pancakes with whipped cream and jam!

Set in an old school building and with a lovely beer terrace outside, this place does a small selection of its own house brewed beers for fairly reasonable prices by Finnish standards. Around €6 is better than you’ll get in a lot of places and...the beer itself is fantastic (the pilsner particularly). Worth a visit, especially when it’s warm enough to sit outside.More

Apparently a popular place to have your beer in this brewery, the former school. They brew different types of beers and have named them according the staff of the Finnish school Opo (IPA), Lehtori (lager) etc. Lunch is served but it was already too Late...for lunch so we ordered from the menu list both a flank steak. Not very impressive! The steak was rather nicely done but the promised pepper was totally forgotten. Potato rösti was so crispy and brown that it had been forgotten in the oven. Poor price quality ratio. The atmosphere is also really warn-up maybe at ITS best when you drunken enough.More
