Wintergarden Bar
New season unfolds with Wintergarden Signature Cocktails – featuring IBA World Cocktail Championship winner Sparkling Cocktail of the Year.
Wintergarden is the living room of the Hotel St. George, place for the guests and locals to meet. Built in to the courtyard and sheltered by a glass roof, it has drawn inspiration from the classical conservatories of 18th and 20th century nobility, known for their lush greenery and art collections.
Wintergarden Bar is famous for its artful cocktails. Perhaps the most intriguing cocktail is called Learning to fly – served in a bird-shaped glass, inspired by Pekka Jylhä’s eponymous work of art. The Signature Cocktail Menu is re-designed seasonally by Bar Manager Tuomas Hämäläinen, who has been awarded Finland's best cocktail bartender three years in a row.
A selection of wines and relaxed dining options is also available, creating extraordinary taste experiences.
Wintergarden Bar is a pleasant place to relax and unwind with friends. We are open every day of the week, and on Fridays and Saturdays during the Autumn-Winter season our House DJs create a modern jazz and lounge music ambiance from 6.30 pm to 11.30 pm.
You are warmly welcome.
Opening hours:
Sun – Thu | 5 pm – 11:30 pm
Fri – Sat | 2 pm – 11:30 pm
Before the bar opens, Wintergarden is open to our hotel guests as a living room and inspiring working space, as well as for private events.
For table reservations during Garden Bar opening hours, please make reservations through link above or groups larger than 8 persons send email to meetings.stgeorge@stgeorgehelsinki.com. If you have any special requests or would like to make a pre-order for your group of guests, we will be happy to help you with the reservation inquiry. Please note that table reservations can only be taken when there are no private events in the space.
