About

Mixei in Tampere is Finland’s oldest and most iconic LGBTQIA+ nightclub, having been a cornerstone of queer nightlife since 1990. This vibrant venue is nestled right in the city center on Itsenäisyydenkatu, making it a central spot for partygoers and those just looking to have a fun night out. Whether you’re there for its legendary Friday and Saturday DJ sets or a more laid-back Wednesday night of bingo and karaoke, Mixei delivers on all fronts.

The atmosphere is inclusive, welcoming everyone under the rainbow (and their allies). The dancefloor pulses with everything from the latest pop hits to nostalgic bangers, expertly curated by their long-time resident DJ, Meke. For a more chill vibe, the Lounge Room offers board games and cozy corners to catch up with friends.

Mixei’s famed ""Gayhours"" make the night even sweeter, offering free entry and drink deals to kickstart your evening. The club also regularly hosts drag shows, themed parties, and popular singles nights, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring Finland’s queer scene.

It’s more than just a nightclub—it’s a safe, fun space with zero tolerance for discrimination, ensuring everyone can let loose and be themselves.

Went to a pride event. Nice drag show, although a little short. Good menu of drinks, and a nice atmosphere. There was also some board games you could play.Unisex bathrooms, urinals and stalls.

Xenophobic and extremely rude staff. They didn’t let us in with our Brazilian documents, because our official government ids allegedly didn’t look authentic and treated us terribly at the entrance. I’ve been to everywhere in Europe and lived in three different countries here and this is the first time that such thing has happened. I’ll be sure to spread the word to all my Finnish friends and the foreigners who live in or wish to visit Tampere about how bad this place treats people.

Of all places I would expect to feel unsafe and unwelcome, Mixei wasn’t one of them. I was visiting friends in Tampere and was excited to visit a LGBTQIA+ night club, it’s always great to see how the community expresses, organizes and creates spaces for itself across the world. But I didn’t manage to see any of that, as our IDs weren’t accepted at the entrance because they looked different. I have a flight to catch tomorrow, so I opted to carry digital versions of my documents. Apparently, this place’s staff is only able to recognize and accept Finnish documents, regardless of other countries existing in the world and other documents being issued by other countries. Official and internationally valid documents.I had never been treated like that in any place I’ve been to, which says a lot considering I’m a lesbian woman, and it’s particularly hurtful exactly because of that. I’m very sorry that Tampere’s community of LGBTQIA+ immigrants and tourists have to contend with such disrespect, discrimination and disregard for very basic international standards.

Nice staff and great selection of products. One of the high points of going to Tampere. Very central and right next to the tram stop.
