Corona Billiard - Helsinki

Never judge the book by it's cover. Or by name. Really clean please with excellent coffee and beer. 8 pool tables. 15€/hour it's ok price.

An old classic now in Konepaja. Relaxed atmosphere with some references to the movie making background of the owners. A fair collection of beers in cans and bottles, basic stuff in the tap.

Premises are large, with eight pool tables. There are two bars. Spacious old factory hall suits this purpose very well, and renovation has been done in a nice way. Minimalistic, but comfortable. There are some high chairs, too. Tram line number nine passes the place by, and has a stop just next to the bar entrance.

Corona bar is now closed, but just few steps further, in the same steet there is Buenos Aires Cafe Bar from the same owner- team, including the director Mika Kaurismaki.

I've not played pool here, just had a drink a few times. It's nice enough, relaxed, and something of a cult classic venue. Rumour is it's due to close down at some point next near future, so make a visit soon...
