"We were looking forward to visiting this dive bar (only partially, I promise, due to the meaning of its name in Finnish, so we were informed🤪!) but we must have been too early: it was completely empty. So empty, in fact, that even the bartender didn't tend bar, but was on a "smokey breaky", according to the sign on the till, though we saw nobody outside either, so perhaps they'd gone for a drink elsewhere, which we also ended up doing after waiting a while, and getting thirsty. Shame."
