William K. Kurvi

May 30, 2008
This place was quite much bigger than I expected, and had about as many beers as the William K on Annenkatu has. Friendly staff, who seemed to know the beers they sold. Very close to Kolme Kaisaa too, so worth a visit if you happen to be visiting KK.

Right on top of the sörnäinen metro stop. Spacious, pleasantly lit relaxing ambience. Better selection than the other William Ks that I’ve seen. Very friendly staff - I didn’t actually have a drink here, as they phoned around to find the rare beer that I was after which had already sold out in more central outlets in their chain, and directed me to one of the Pivnicys. Thanks guys! (gals)

The largest of the William K. pubs sits in one of the busiest intersections in the Kallio area. Still it manages to be quite quiet and comfy, with bookshelves, board games and lots of room. The other half of the place is non-smoking, and seems to remain so, at least in the afternoon. They’re trying to keep one Finnish micro on tap at all times, which is nice. Bottle selection is above average, and should suffice for most. Certainly a better effort than the other newcomer in the HOK-Elanto chain, Bierhuis Rotterdam.
