We recently visited Club Helsinki in Hudson, NY for the first time and they definitely have a lot going on and it's a "happening" scene musically. We were there to see Simone Dinnerstein and Tift Merritt, and the venue was close and intimate, like the jazz clubs of old. We were warned ahead of time to get there early, make... More

We wandered in here on a Sunday night after hearing the Flatlanders were appearing. Lucky for us, they had a few standing room spots still available at $38. Walked in to find an absolutely beautiful, tired, wide club with cool vintage lighting (all different types of fixtures and chandeliers - really nice) and a full house. The crowd was great,... More

Helsinki is a restored industrial building with meticulously crafted wood and fittings. Look around the room and you will see the expense and skill that has gone into the restoration. We were not there for a performance but they have a lively schedule of music. The food is based on smoking - not just meat - and is different (at... More

Beautiful space. We ate dinner and watched a show, but next time I think I will eat dinner in their beautiful restaurant space then go see the show. Great listening room. Not a bad seat in the house.

Helsinki is a breath of fresh air. What an attractive music venue this is. Best of all for Broadway enthusiasts, it is a terrific place to see name acts in an intimate setting. We saw John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molasky and thoroughly enjoyed the show, the setting and the very good food. This is a terrific club.

Superior food and friendly service. Relaxed and elegant atmosphere. Not inexpensive, but good value for the money.

One of the most spectacular warehouse conversions offers a consistently good bar and atmosphere - and some of the best professional entertainment in the north of NYC. Interesting southern-NoLa style cuisine reasonably priced and excellent service. Helsinki offers a beautiful reception area for parties and you can dine in the dining room or the caberet during scheduled shows. Good for... More

It was certainly worthwhile to drive 32 miles of country roads to discover Club Helsinki in Hudson NY! indeed a spendid music hall / pub / venue where top acts end up... such as Melissa auf der Maur, Melora Creager Meshell Ndgeocello .... You can eat there but it is as bad as pub food expectations go. No doubt I... More

Two friends were visiting from Ohio, and since I had never been to Club Helsinki, I thought it might be a good time to check out the place in their company. We were warmly greeted and escorted into the very interesting and attractive main dining space. We started off by splitting an order of the fried okra with a remoulade... More
