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.

The dj didn't even bother playing my song recommendations, and just shrugged his shoulders just because I'm not finnish?

Had a great night here at the Wednesday evening bingo. The barman was welcoming, and the bingo caller explained everything in both Finnish and English. A fun, relaxed evening.

such a terrible space, the music was not it. yall need to help this poor dj getting new skills. the personnel is not as friendly as the other review says. we have been treated in a very rude way by a male employee, we felt that this place didnt had real queer roots and definitely not sex positive vibes (which is very far from queer culture). well. we wont come back 🤪

Interstellarly rude staff. Was walking in with friends and got stopped by a total prick of a woman who didn't have the most basic courtesy to even say hi, just snapped "jacket and bag stay here". Don't know what I did to deserve that, as I just walked in and had never been there before. Friend was also wearing a jacket, but she let her in without any questions. Female clothes don't exactly have pockets, so how the hell did she expect me to pay for anything without my bag that held my wallet? Also, as a woman, I wear a leather jacket for safety, plus I would have been cold without it. Turned around and left, will never visit again.

The atmosphere was too heterosexual this time. The dance floor was boring and full of some little Christmas carolers who didn't seem to be in the mood at all and during the evening Chappell Roan didn't play once and Charli xcx only played once briefly in the form of a remix. Would a younger queer DJ be in place? The drinks were good though and it's a plus that typical milk drinks are also available in vegan form
