The building was completed in 1962 as a student dormitory and summer hotel, and its restaurant has kept the same name ever since. Food service stopped in the 1980s, and the place remained a largely unrenovated bar until 2014, when a full renovation followed; the kitchen reopened in 2015. Today this Helsinki bistro serves Finnish food and beer from its own small brewery, with karaoke on Fridays and a pub quiz for teams of one to five on Saturdays.
Tables can be booked online, and takeaway can be ordered in person or by phone. Besides the indoor seating there is a heated winter terrace. The menu has vegetarian and organic options. The entrance and toilet are accessible, and gift cards are sold.
