Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Decent spot for a concert and dancing. In the heart of Kamppi area, good selection of beer. Friendly staff.

Nice concert venue situated right in the heart of everything. Usually very functional, even during concerts.

Great venue to see Shinedown in action on tour. Bars surrounding the standing area and good choice of beers. Stay away from the draft stuff though and stick to bottles! Great vibe in the whole place and very friendly! Only snag was retrieving your jacket from the cloakroom after! Stay and have another drink before attempting!

Circus is conveniently located in Kamppi and hosts gigs from heavy metal to jazz to rock. Quite small and intimate, a bar with sofas for before the gig hanging-out time.

A word of warning, it takes FOREVER to queue out the place (the cloak-service is slow, mostly due to the capacity of it, not poor service).

Conveniently located at the very heart of Helsinki (at Narinkkatori). Easy to reach by foot (from Kamppi bus depot or from the train station) or by subway. You can also park your own car to several nearby parking carages (which have quite pricy hourly prices).

The club has room for some 2000 persons and is spacious enough. Gallery and many bar desks. That ends the positive review. Spatial design is not favorable for concerts. Several different open chambers within the premises and huge naked HVAC pipes up at the ceiling cause problems with mixing the sound.

The club has absolutely horrendous acoustics - at least for a rock / metal concert. Too much echoing low frequencies making the overall sound totally muzzy. Difficult to hear mid range tones and also higher (treble) frequencies.

I wouldn't like to waste my money for another concert in this place.
