I went by One Pint Pub specifically to find the Baie d'Argousier lambic brewed by Cantillon just for them. We were able to get what they said was the very last bottle, if it truly was they were generous to let us have it! The beer selection was impressive and when I was there, they had a massive selection of German craft beers. I had a fresh Finnish IPA on tap as well that was quite good. A bit off the beaten path, but there's a great patio next to the canal, good place to sit on a nice day and enjoy a few good beers.

Visited twice in Dec 2016,
its on the No7 tram line
First visit was lovely a young woman was running the place and while very quiet, the range of beers from finland and Estonia were interesting and tasty. we had 2 small kids in tow, and they were kept amused with board games etc.
Second visit for a quick beer as we had left jacket behind the owner was there, didn't seem interested at all
I get the feeling they are sick of Americans visiting wanting cantillons, so if your are not one of these,
let the staff know

Stopped by here on a recent 24 hour layover in Helsinki. That 24 hour layover happened to be on Mid Summers Eve also.

This place is centrally located and fairly easy to find. It only took us a couple minutes of wandering around to find it. Its located on the corner of a neighborhood building. It looks like a local pub. The atmosphere is best described as mix and match or flee market couture. Nothing matches. Tables, chairs, sofas, everything is different. I don't even think the stools at the bar are the same. We walked in about 5pm and we ended up not leaving untill 2am. The selection was excellent. 2 fresh casks of Sahti, a couple of Cantillons, and I hadn't had anything they had on tap. Several of the beers were local products from the brewing school that one of the owners helps teach at.

Honestly, my experience here was one of the best experiences I've ever had at a beer bar. It was a holiday in Finland and everyone was in a fantastic mood. I had been shlepping around a bottle of Boulevard Harvest Dance that I gave to the owners. This started a landslide of talking to the owners, free beers, speaking with the brewers from Lammin and more drinks. It was a blast. If you dig on local places with a odd sort of vibe, this place is for you. Just as a side note, if you want to try some of the Cantillons call ahead or send them a note of Facebook. They dont stock them at the bar anymore.

As if being in Finland weren't enough, to get to One Pint Pub you have to also walk through a construction zone and mazes of residential apartments. Inside this diminutive public house plays 80s rock from a tinny boom-box perched on a ramshackle bar.

This place has been likened to someone's basement, but it's more like a Salvation Army. There's a moldering pool table, torn rug, mismatched furniture, a vacuum cleaner, and old fishing gear. There are also hundreds of Cantillon bottles.

That's what I was there for. Cantillon brews three lambics for them - Baie d'Argousier (sea buckthorn), Groseille a Maquereau (gooseberry), and Groseille (redcurrants). At the time, there were just the redcurrant and the sea buckthorn for €14 each. Also for sale was Lammin Sahtia from a mini-keg, Schlafly Imperial Stout, and a bunch of German beer.

A decent bar, just be sure to shake off the dust when you leave.
