Entry No. 26 — the Butte file — filed under: ritual-music

Helsinki Bar (Helsinki Yacht Club)

The last building standing from Butte's vanished Finn Town, this bar started in 1911 as a Finnish bathhouse where miners paid a quarter to sauna and socialize before it became a beer parlor in 1937. Today it's a tiny, squeaky-clean old-school bar packed with Finnish memorabilia, a true community hangout known for live music and dancing crowds. It throws an annual St. Urho's Day celebration, a tongue-in-cheek Finnish answer to St. Patrick's Day.

The move: Catch live music and elbow-to-elbow dancing at the last bar left from Butte's old Finntown.
