Folks,
I went to Helsinki and Tallin last week.
In Helsinki, been first to Mermaid. It was a Wednesday around 10pm. There were appr. 15 to 20 workers present. Quality ranged from 1 to 5. Finally left to Alcatraz around 1am. Quality in Alcatraz is far better (ranging from 4 to 8) but also quoted prices are higher. Left around 2am with a Russian lady from St. Petersburg and paid €150 for full service till after breakfast. Quality was excellent (as usual with Rusians) and certainly to remember.
Went to Tallin later on to stay with a lady I met some months ago, really to remember...
Rgds,

I went to Helsinki about a month ago. Its is starting to get a bit cold. I spent a bit of time at the bus stop just opposite Mikado around 11 pm to see what was going on. It was a bit slow at first but then girl mostly alone started to arrive around midnight.
I went also for a drink in the Marski bar. It is not a pick-up place but I still noticed stuff ongoing. A business type guy (around 50) chatting with 2 black ladies. Also a quite nice girl sitting alone and I noticed a guy entering the marski and started to chat her up but she send him packing. A couple of minutes later, a couple of guys sitting at the table next to her started chatting and 1 of them joined her ate the table. I left at that point feeling she was on hand.
I went also around the train station and inside the sation just to see but I noticed nothing there.
I went then to a nice place a bar/night club on Mikonkatu, The Barfly. Incrediblethe number of cute girls you can see there, young but this is not a pivk up place.
I continue my tour and went around 1am at Alcatraz. quite expensive place like all Finland, 9 Eur the entrance + 2 Eur for the coat and drink in the region of 7-10 Eur. Strip tease ongoing done by a very nice girl but after the strip, she started to do the round for tips which I did not like too much since we do not have bill of 1 Euro and I did not want to slip a 1 Euro coin in her panty !
As for the pro in there, quite a number of nice girls I think between 5-8 rating. I started chatting with one from Moscow, offered her a drink and we move to a quite table. She spoke perfect english and told me that she travelle quite a bit . She was about 30, 1.70 m dark short hair. After a bit chatting , she offered herself to me for 200 Euros and she said that she usually goes for 300 all night. I told her that I just wanted about 1 hour with her and offered 150 Euro but we had to go to her place. She agreed and we departed. I again had to pay the cloakroom for her (5 Euros) + the taxi for only 300 meters since she live quite close to Alcatraz(9 euros).
I wont go into details but she was not that great, refused me to touch her too much where it matters and I left after about 45 minutes.
In all a quite expensive encounters if you include everything.

One general consideration about Helsinki is that night life is not an all-night game since most places will be closed at 1 - 1.30 am. Forget Spanish movida. I went to Molly Malones at 1 am last week, it was good, band playing, youth drinking beer etc, but at 1.30 everybody were asked to leave. Too early for me, so I went to Mikado, this place was actually full in action, but again, at 3.30 the game was over again already.
This can be however an advantage if you want to find a companion for the rest of the night at an acceptable price. Mikado is a large bar with a small dance floor and a casino, packed with Russian girls and ladies (most are over 30) coming from near Estonia and Sankt Petersburg. They will make eye contact and join you if you reply to it, and after a very basic warm-up conversation will ask you if you want to have sex. Prices will range from 150 to 200 Euro (the stunners). It will not be difficult to have the same for a much better price bearing in mind that:
1. the bar closes pretty early, and many girls will still be unemployed at closing time.
2. the typical male-customer will be a half-drunken finnish man, not just the top of the wish for these ladies. Don´t forget they will not dislike having some fun on that sex they are looking for.
So just wait till closing time, and you will be able to get your bed warmed for some 100-120 Euro. Your negotiating power will be higher if you show leaving alone, some left-alone beauty will ask you if you are really leaving alone, which actually means "is it possible that I am not picking any fucking customer tonight´", it will be very easy for you to make your price "take or leave".

Actually most clubs close at 4am, which means that they start to move you out about 3.30 as they have to be empty by 4.00.
Molly Malones is a bar, they usually close a little earlier than the clubs, IIRC at the weekend at 3.00, during the week at 2.00.
It is not as bad as Magic Touch recalls, although if he were in town on a Sunday or Monday night, he would certainly think it pretty quiet.
I would agree about the girls at the end of the night, although given recent tendencies for the girls to go for a short time, rather than all night, if she is attractive, he is probably going to be on sloppy seconds if he waits untill 4.00

I tend to go to Mikado or to Alcatraz. Mikado is an out of out meat market. You get some very nice looking girls in there, but I have always gone for the all nighters, and these are pricey early on in the evening. Hence, I tend to get there late (gone 1pm) and talk to a few. I would normally expect to pay 200 Euros for a few hrs. In some cases, I've taken the girl to another club for some dancing (there's a dance floor in Mikado, but no strippers, and I've never seen anyone on it). On the odd time I have got a phone number and called her the next day to meet for lunch. Many of the girls seem to want to start a relationship when you are back in town, and quite often leave their numbers.
Alcatraz you have to watch out for the girls who want you to buy them cigarettes and drinks. I've picked up a very nice girl there before. Very few like you to eat them out. Alcatrax has regular strippers, and you can sit and buy them drinks if you want. Some two-girls operate, normally one is nice the other ugly, so I can never see the point.
Just outside the Mikado, near the Marski, some girls hang around, and will offer to accompany you back to the hotel. I've never partaken, but there is one they I've felt quite tempted with, the rest are not my cup of tea.

Just a note on picking up girls from the street in front of Mikado - might not be such a great idea, they've recently installed surveillance cameras to the building so what happens in the front ends up on film.
Smile - you're on candid camera!

Recently went to Helsinki and had my greatest experience ever.
First went to Alcatraz (some time between 1 and 2 am, after some sleep): girls are often a little cheaper (but 4-7 only), problem is to find one that you like and is not drunk. [Last time, had Elena, a tall and busty Russian who presented herself as lawyer. She had her car (no taxi!). 150 EUR. Good but not great. Still have her phone number.]
When I do not find there, I move to Mikado (beware, as closing time is 4 am, they will not let you in after about 3). This time, I was lucky. Marina was perhaps only an 8, but she had a cute smile, B cups, did not smoke, and we immediately "clicked". She invited me at her place, within walking distance. After a joint shower, she lit many candles and a full hour of caresses started, ending with a covered BJ. All that for 170 EUR, without any request for more. Gave me her phone number.
When I left, walked past older women 1-4 with strange looks around Kinopalatsi. Did not check whether they were looking for work.
Another note on picking up girls from the street in front of Mikado: don't count on that, score before the place closes, it's easier.

MONGERS FINED IN HELSINKI FOR THE FIRST TIME! BE WARNED!
According to today's papers, in the past few days 5 "johns" in Helsinki have been questioned by the police and fined for the first time for buying sex in a public place. In the same police operation, 9 prostitutes were fined as well for trading in a public place, ie. on the street.
(For the time being, buying and selling sex in all non-public places, such as private apartments, remains legal.)
It is very interesting that the new law that illegalizes buying and selling sex in public places explicitly mentions that a "restaurant" - which includes nightclubs etc. - IS a public place, just like street. However at least so far the police has not done anything about Mikado, Alcatraz etc., but watch this space for possible future developments on that aspect.
My advice to punters stays the same: forget about street action in Helsinki, and Finland in general. Not only is it cold and uncomfortable, from now on it can get your face and name in police books as well.

19 October 2003 – Helsinki
K and I first went to a chic bar near the Swedish theatre. Since it was early (10pm), it wasn’t too crowded yet. I did not find too many opportunities for conversation, or women that I wanted to try with. I guess I don’t know how to pick up a woman in a bar like this, particularly when they mainly come with one or more friends.
K wanted to see what Mikado was like. We paid the E9 admission and E2 coat fee, followed by about E5 for beers, then hung around and chatted. There were a few young-looking ladies that might be interesting to either of us, but they were asking E200. I understand that through negotiating the price can be brought down, perhaps to E150, but I still had hopes of perhaps meeting an amateur at a regular bar. That didn’t happen, and I was too tired to spend E150 for action that night.

I am a bit new to Helsinki and I have a question/comment slightly different than the usual threads here. Most of the discussions have been where to find ladies in nightclubs in Helsinki. I was wondering about the adult theatre scene in Helsinki. I visited Keltainen Ruusu a few weeks ago and it was rather interesting. It is not the best looking place but a great deal of action going on. Very dark and both sexes mixing in small rooms. I was rather surprised by the number of girls there.
My question is: What is the adult scene like in Helsinki and how do the authorities react to such places. The owners didn't seem concerned in the least.
It was obvious that there was some sex going on and a few of the rooms had gloryholes. It makes an interesting change from the normal meat markets at clubs and much cheaper too. Most of the girls I saw looked about 19-20 and ranged from 7-9 .
Any reactions and advice would be welcome.

Bifinn,
the adult theatre scene in Helsinki, or Finland in general, is pretty non-existent. Certainly there are a few places where you can go to a cubicle to watch videos and wank but that's it.
Keltainen Ruusu is purely a gay place as far as I know - has someone besides Bifinn ever seen females there?? Until receiving confirmation from a senior member I dare to doubt the credibility of this report - however I cannot immediately discredit it as I do not personally know.
As this is not prostitution I do not think the authorities care one way or the other.
-
Just read the last post by Bifinn.
I woud not be as affirmative as Elton, but would simply ask whether the girls were real ones or TV's, and additionally query the days and times when they were present.
Thanks to Bifinn (or for that matter to anyone who would report).

They raided Mikado during the weekend!
According to today's paper's, Mikado was subject to a police inspection this weekend, both Friday and Saturday nights. Several fines were given - some to girls, some to customers - for trading sex in a public place. Also, several women - all Russians -were found to be in the country illegally and were arrested to be deported.
This was the first time that the police inspections against public prostitution were taking place within a club, previously this has only been done on the streets.
(As previously stated, a club qualifies as a public place according to the new legislation.)

It seems most are missing on the fine art of mongering.
I have found wonderful service on and around Industrial Blvd.
You just have to be careful and not drunk. Many of the women I have found there are so happy to have a clean well mannored forigner, they are happy to go the extra mile. Again be careful some TV's out there also. I found the best method is to park, and leave the window down a bit. They will come to you and you can observe better. Not much English spoken, but not really necessary either.
5/14/04 I met Mila, a crack head. 26 years old, short red hair, 5'4", and 110 LBS., Finnish, good English.
Took her to my place (staying in a rented flat near Mannerhimente(?). Cost 120 Euro. Spent 2 hours. Did not hesitate at ANYTHING asked, and seemed to genuinely like it. Took lots of pics. GS, Fist, Back door, BBBJCIM. Can't get that from the club seen.
I had been doing the standard Makido and Alcatraz and use to do Kings. Found that the girls rotate from spot to spot. Found some very good service, but it was as normal, quite hit and miss, especially with the Russians.
I have done almost as well at some of the regular dance clubs with non pro's. It is definatly hit or miss, but a lot cheaper, and can always fall back to the strip clubs.
Just wanted to let you know not to ignore the street sceen, but be careful out there.
Best wishes,
L

Hey Licked it,
What´s this "Industrial Blvd?" I visit Helsinki often, but that doesn´t sound a bell. Does it have a finnish name too?
