Wanha Kaleva's Bar, the pub of thousand stories, offers bar and café products and live music whenever possible.
The original Kaleva Guesthouse was opened in Suomussalmi in 1928. That building was burnt down during the Winter War and a new guesthouse was built on the site between 1946 and 1947.
There has been no more accommodation in Kaleva in recent decades, but the restaurant business has continued under the name of Wanha Kaleva Bar.
Kaleva's selection includes speciality coffees with oat milk and a range of speciality beers.
The establishment can seat 68 persons.
