    (Translated by Google) In a nice building in the center of Turku, in a good location. Businesslike and friendly staff. A wide selection of beers, not to mention other drinks. Nice to watch the passing human hustle and bustle. (Original) Hienossa rakennuksessa Turun keskustassa,hyvÀllÀ paikalla. Asiallinen ja ystÀvÀllinen henkilökunta. Laaja olutvalikoima, muita juomia unohtamatta. Mukava seurata ohikulkevaa ihmisvilinÀÀ.

  • 5/5 Marko V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) One of the best pubs in the whole country. The beer selection is available for many tastes. To my surprise here, I bonged the Belgian Cassis beer, which I consider one of the best beers in the world. Infrequently digress here, but I've always liked the place atmosphere. For those traveling to Turku, I would say that no matter how you want to place the saint's halo on your head with the idea of ​​"I don't drink alcohol", the Old Bank is an attraction in itself, along with Turku Castle and many other "must-places". 1/30/2021: The place name has changed. As a Finn, I cannot fully sign this new name - especially when that river is in no way related to it. Otherwise, the atmosphere of the old decent bank with its beers is the same as before. (Original) Yksi parhaista pubeista koko maassa. Olutvalikoimasta löytyy moneen makuun. Ällistyksekseni tÀÀltĂ€ bongasin belgialaista cassis-olutta, jota pidĂ€n yhtenĂ€ parhaista oluista maailmassa. Harvakseltaan poikkean tÀÀllĂ€, mutta aina olen tykĂ€nnyt paikan tunnelmasta. Turkuun matkaaville sanoisinkin, ettĂ€ vaikka kuinka haluaa asetella pÀÀnsĂ€ pÀÀlle pyhimyksen sĂ€dekehÀÀ ajatuksella "minĂ€hĂ€n en alkoholia kĂ€ytĂ€", niin Old Bank on Turun Linnan ja monen muun "must-paikan" ohella nĂ€htĂ€vyys sinĂ€nsĂ€. 30.1.2021: Paikan nimi on muuttunut. En pysty suomalaisena tĂ€ysin allekirjoittamaan tĂ€tĂ€ uutta nimeĂ€ - varsinkin kun se joki ei millÀÀn tavalla tĂ€hĂ€n liity. Muuten vanhan kunnon pankin tunnelma oluineen on sama kuin ennenkin.

    (Translated by Google) This is really basic. The staff is just at work, nothing more. (Original) TÀmÀ on tosi perus. Henkilökunta on vaan töissÀ, ei mitÀÀn enempÀÀ.

  • 4/5 Kari S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) No longer compares to the old Old Bank and its atmosphere. There was a grand piano that musicians like me were allowed to play. It was nice to play from Bach to entertainment pianism. Overpriced place. I gave a pity for the fourth star because the interior environment is originally elegant and clean. Otherwise it would have become 3 stars. I won't visit again for a long time. Best of luck. Good luck indeed. (Original) Ei vedÀ enÀÀ vertoja vanhalle Old Bankille ja sen tunnelmalle. SiellÀ oli flyygeli, jota soittotaitoiset, kuten minÀ, saivat soittaa. Oli mukavaa soittaa Bachista viihdepianismiin. Ylihinnoiteltu paikka. NeljÀnnen tÀhden annoin sÀÀlistÀ, koska sisustusmiljöö on alkuperÀisen tyylikÀs ja siisti. Muuten olisi tullut 3 tÀhteÀ. En taas kÀy enÀÀ pitkÀÀn aikaan. Onnea ja menestystÀ. Onnea te todellakin taevitsette.

  • 3/5 jukka E. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice place to take one, but at least I saw on Friday night there was way too much of a crowded house full. (Original) Kiva paikka jossa ottaa yhdet, mutta ainakin nÀin pe iltana oli aivan liian kÀnnistÀ porukkaa talo tÀynnÀ.

    Twice I tried to visit and both I left fast. Before it was nice adult pub with proffesional staff and great unique atmosphere. Nowadays it's all gone! What left is overpriced "cheap" diner style place with horrible music and young bartenders speaking some "teenage" language!

  • 5/5 Vesa W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) You should open an account with this bank and put your money in savings. The banking lady was very friendly and she knew how to count money and beer at the same time. Very nice place. (Original) TÀhÀn pankkiin kannattaa avata tili ja laittaa rahaa sÀÀstöön. Pankkineiti oli oikein ystÀvÀllinen ja hÀn osasi laskea rahaa ja olutta yhtÀ aikaa. Oikein mukava paikka.

  • 3/5 Ralph C. 6 years ago on Google
    Interesting old building, marble columns, old wood, snugs, tables and rooms are eclectically around the bar. In one room and downstairs you can see old vaults, one with a waxwork dummy in it. Lots of beer choice, was busy on a Saturday lunch time, I got well-talked-to by a couple of locals on their way to a hockey match.

  • 4/5 Petri T. 2 years ago on Google
    A bit slow on serving the premium customers, but ok for plebs

  • 4/5 Nana L. 5 years ago on Google
    Great selection of beers, impeccable service by seasoned professionals, interesting milieu (it actually IS an old bank and you will notice if you visit the place). Quiet pub for drinking quality beers and chatting with your friends. Some board games available in the back room, too. A bit expensive though, but so is every quality bar in Turku downtown.

  • 4/5 Simon R. 6 years ago on Google
    Amazing pub with hundreds of beers to choose from. Thereof at least 15 beers from the tap. Good barkeeper who can explain the differences and sugest the right beer for your taste. Cozy sofas and tables. ...but expensive, but might be due to being in Finland though... Try to spot your local beer glas :-)

  • 4/5 Matti S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Rudeboy M. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice selection of beers , friendly stuff , clean , one very big plus NOT VERY YOUNG AUDIENCE , nice small pub menu , the fift star is not given because of the music combination ( could be a bit more English style pub music for example 80s 90s English pop ) about the prices nothing to say because we are in Finland ..
