Storyville

Situated in Töölö directly behind the Finnish Parliament building on Museokatu, Storyville is an internationally acclaimed jazz club and nightlife institution that has been enchanting Helsinki since 1993. Repeatedly selected by DownBeat magazine as one of the best jazz venues in the world, Storyville channels the sultry, welcoming spirit of New Orleans in the heart of the Finnish capital.

The venue features an intimate underground brick cellar where candlelit tables surround a close-contact bandstand, accompanied by a sultry speakeasy piano bar serving craft cocktails and Creole-inspired culinary bites. Above ground, Storyville’s leafy summer jazz park terrace comes alive during long Nordic summer nights with open-air performances and lively gatherings.

While jazz, blues, and funk take center stage during earlier hours with top Finnish and international musicians, Storyville kicks into full party gear late at night. On weekends, lively retro discos, swing, and soulful dance rhythms keep the subterranean dancefloor packed until 04:00, making it a beloved destination for night owls of all generations.
