Liberty or Death

Hidden in Helsinki’s vibrant Design District on Erottajankatu, Liberty or Death has been setting the standard for inventive cocktails since its opening in March 2012. Created by the Son of a Punch team, it channels modern Brooklyn charm—think plush details, moody interiors, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Each time you visit, the cocktail menu changes monthly, offering both reimagined classics and fresh, creative creations using seasonal ingredients and in-house-made components, part of the bar’s commitment to craft and reducing waste. Patrons often praise the creative, surprising cocktails and friendly service. Many highlight a vibrant but relaxing vibe, paired with hip-hop or mellow music that enhances the mood. Situated right in the heart of Helsinki, Liberty or Death is accessible yet feels like a special escape from the city streets.
