The name of Wäinölä comes from the Kalevala, the national epic fo Finland. The log-house of Wäinölä is built from hand-carved logs in the Iron Age style, all the iron parts have been forged by a local blacksmith. 40 diners can sit at four long tables. For a group of maximum 24 people, the tables are combined into a one large party table in the middle of the room.
The lighting in Wäinölä can be adjusted in a variety of ways for different occasions, and the space has a sound amplifier with bluetooth connection. There are good traffic lights outside from the parking lot.
