The Bruuveri is a full service bar and restaurant located in an urban shopping mall in downtown Helsinki.
By their own description, this is a "mellow lounge for lovers of beer and good food in the heart of Helsinki!"
In the back room there is a brewery, or as Bruuveri calls it, the Social Brewing Lab.
Beers brewed in this facility cannot be found anywhere else.
The very large main room
probably seats 100 or so customers, and the brewery room 50 more. In addition, there is plenty of standing-around space.  
The service bar is at least 40 feet long with two identical sets of 15 taps.
Most of these pour guest beers.
There is a jail cell-sized glassed-in room in a corner for smokers.
On a Saturday this Questor was the only customer.
