“ This is a cool place to chill not my grove but if you like rock this is the place ”
“ WOW!!! This place is absolutely amazing! We walked past during the day and returned in the evening for something to eat and to soak in the cool vibe. So much rock memorabilia to check out. Super friendly service, nice food. Coolest toilet ever! Highly recommend if you are in or going to Rovaniemi ”
“ On holiday in Rovaniemi, I find this pub and with other friends we decide to try it. Excellent beers, friendly and hospitable staff. Nice rock/metal music playing in the background. You can also use the pinball machine for a few games if you are lucky enough to find it free. ”
“ Frequently we party here during my stay in lapland.. don't miss there free popcorn ! ”
“ Very friendly and knowledgable bar person. As a Scot with a passion for malt Whisky I tried the Finnish Rye Whisky. Very expensive but interesting. May take a bottle home Plus you get free popcorn ”
“ Interior design of a real rock house. Very friendly barman, and the Karhu Beer was excellent. A must visit bar of the town of you like Rock. Fantastic collection of guitars and memorabilia ”
“ My grade : 93/100 Excellent restaurant, perhaps. Excellent bar, definitely! Early 2023, a few close friends and I landed at Rock-the-night looking to quench our thirst and hopefully to meet some locals from rovaniemi as well. The exuberant looks from outside of the bar reelt us in. The inner decoration was matching the tone : guitars, records and rock band posters everywhere. However, the ambience wasn't loud and there is plenty of space for a good 20 persons to enjoy a drink while respecting each other's privacy. Eventually, we did break that very privacy as we decided to talk to a couple at the bar (we've been told the bar is one of the few opportunities you get at befriending Finnish people). We were very well welcomed! If you look for a bar to have a "few quiet ones" and you have a group with manners (=not your usual loud and dumb tourists group), I strongly suggest you pay Rock the Night a visit! My recommendation: ask for the whisky + ginger beer cocktail to create the surprise, it's one of their specialties and it's a banger. John ”
