Night: Music for the people
Scandic profile photo

3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Scandic 373 reviews

There aren't many eloctronic music places in Oulu, but Sas try to keep their line. They have many happenings, such like Sweet party where are good DJ's playing good music. Not songs from the lists, just good and special dance music and I DON'T mean N'sync or that kind of musci att all.

This has been quite expensive bar, but nowadays it's cheaper, thanks for the Giggling Marlin. I have sometimes felt that the atmosphere is too 'horny', but if you aren't searching for *** buddy, so don't mind of their looks and way to act..

Dress Code: Free and casual. I don't know about the shoe code, but this is quite come as you are place.

Gigglin Marlin: The hottest bar at this moment

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Scandic 373 reviews

This is now the hottest bar, with longest lines and highest prices. All the bar has its momenst and now it's time to celebrate GM. I agree, this bar is very well designed and there are seperated Suomi-Pop (Finnish pop songs) bar and the dance music area with good DJ's.

There in Suomi-Pop part you can dance on the tables and there are also sticks, so you don't have to be afraid to fall.

Dress Code: Trendy but not too casual. this a place where you can't keep your hat on the head and the trainers -even stylish- are not allowed.

The bar with daily financial newspapers and a cool athmosphere. Be sure to find some Nokia people here anytime. And if you're a piano player, go ahead, there's one in here!

Dress Code: Small town casual, but lotsa suits sometimes.

Address: Right by the park in the very centre.

New discotheque with quite a weird speciality: a room where you can, and almost must, dance on tables. There are 'pipes' where you can hold on at top of the tables. Only finnish popmusic are played in this room. Dancefloor in the other big room is one of the biggest in Oulu, so you can dance with international hits playing also.

Dress Code: Use your imagination. If you want to be individual put some colourfull and tight.. or if you like to be a shadow on walls sitting on tables and drinking beer (like most finnish guys do), then put some dark shirt and jeans :) Altough if you are looking corgeous by wearing this black shirt and you are dancing, you may not be a shadow no more.

One of the best places in Oulu...

One of the best places in Oulu is definitly the disco '45 Special', which has three different dancefloors and mixed clientele. If you're lucky, there's a live-band playing - and mostly they are anyway great in Finland!
The place where almost everybody goes! Even well-known in other places of Finland.

I was relieved to find out (on the Web) that the place still exists, obviously rocking in an unchanged tempo. I remember it as a lively, obviously popular place which favoured rock and similar rhythms to trendy ones. Very relaxed atmosphere, very friendly as approachable clientele. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Dress Code: Use your imagination, it always comes in handy.

A pub with a catchy name and (again) pleasant atmosphere. I laughed a lot in there, which is a phenomenon rare enough in Finland... ;))) On the Net it describes itself as a reggae bar where you can dance salsa, too. Whatever, it was fun!
