Athens Sports Bar

It's the only Australian-run bar in Athens and it caters to ex-pats, tourists and all sports fans who love watching a game of their favourite sport the right way: with lots of beer and a fun atmosphere. Read_on (No Comments)

Bartesera

This bar is divided into 3 parts. A sitting room for quiet conversations, a bustling section and, in the middle, a space for those who like a bit of both. Read_on (No Comments)

Belafonte

What could easily be described as Nixon’s little brother, Belafonte is flying the flag for the Nixon-style Doxiadis-executed design identity. Read_on (No Comments)

Big Apple

This bar restaurant obviously reminds one of New York. If you decide to dine here, be warned: You may have someone’s backside ending up in your plate. Read_on (No Comments)

Bios

A point of reference for the alternative-progressive Athenian youth. A minimal bar, a stage for live performances, a basement Read_on (No Comments)

Blues

A bit of Memphis and Tennessee in Athens, this bar draws the laid back type of characters who don’t care much about keeping up appearances. Read_on (No Comments)

Brettos

A unique store and one of the oldest Athenian family distilleries, selling its own brand of traditional sweet liquors during the day and a bar serving these same spirits in the evening. Read_on (No Comments)

Circus

Different styles of people mingle in a cozy bar that fills up every single night.  Try their cocktails and hold your ground. Read_on (No Comments)

Duende

A small, civilised and old fashioned brasserie, where the music (Dean Martin et al) actually allows for proper conversation. You will not meet the trend-setting crowds of Athens here, but you can perfectly well enjoy an intimate and quiet evening. Read_on (No Comments)

En Delphis

In the summer or when weather permits, large crowds occupy the lovely pedestrianised street with the neoclassical buildings, situated in this quintessential meeting point of the Athenian bar scene. Read_on (No Comments)

Galaxy Bar

Vintage at its best, a small bar that has existed in Athens for ever, as reflected in its smoke stained walls and furniture. Original Read_on (No Comments)

Galaxy Bar (Hilton hotel)

Stay away if you’re on a budget holiday, but do come along to the roof bar of the Athens Hilton if you’re the type who only feels at home when mingling with important (looking) people, even if this comes at a price of €15 per drink. Read_on (1 Comment)

Gazaki

Those in favour of an evening of drinking and hooking up with complete strangers should head for Gazaki. In a neighbourhood crammed Read_on (No Comments)

Hoxton

Hoxton
In Hoxton’s industrial environment, you get the distinctive impression that seamstresses are constantly working behind the Chesterfield couches  to shorten those baggy pants of yours. Read_on (2 Comments)

Intrepid Fox

With its name borrowed from the legendary London club, this new Gazi entry is of course a pure rock-metal house. There are Read_on (8 Comments)

Ippopotamos

Laid-back students and late workers mainly occupy this progressive rock bar. You might even get that “I’m in a New York pub” feeling. Read_on (2 Comments)

Jazz in Jazz

Even without its founder, Costas Spanos, the legendary figure known the world over, who unfortunately is not with us any longer, this little ‘museum’ is the best and most original jazz bar in the city. Read_on (1 Comment)

Mai Tai

This is a good choice for Kolonaki beginners in the sense that it doesn’t feel as exclusive as other establishments in the area, (without of course being completely laid back). Read_on (No Comments)

Micraasia

A old neoclassical house, just off the main bar square of Gazi, belonging to the owner's family since they moved to Athens from Asia minor in 1926, is now converted into a 3 level atmospheric nightspot. Read_on (No Comments)

Molly Malone's

Molly Malone's
Come the spring, the Athenians just love to spend their evenings down the coast, in and around the southern seaside suburb of Glyfada. Read_on (No Comments)

Nipiagogeio

This old and stylish Athenian house used to be a kindergarten and that’s what its name means. It looks quiet from the outside but that’s only because this is a residential area and many locals have complained about the noise in the past. Read_on (No Comments)

Nixon

It feels good to be able to take part in a conversation without having to scream one’s lungs out in order to be heard. DJs wouldn’t exactly fit in the same room together but this is why this “film noir” bar attracts all sorts of types. Read_on (No Comments)

O'Connell's

O'Connell's
A new entry at the port of Piraeus, this brand new Irish pub became an instant hit with the shipping community of the biggest harbour in east Mediterranean. Read_on (No Comments)

Paradise in Persian.  Situated on Karitsi Square, the owners of this bar seem to have a distinct preference for black music. Read_on (No Comments)

Pop

Imagine fitting a bar in your corridor.  That’s how narrow Pop is, situated in the city centre opposite a shoe shop that in the evening suffers tens of young people sprawled on its doorstep. Read_on (No Comments)

Potopolion

Potopolio was the pioneer in an attempt to kick off a new nightlife district: Panormou Street. A wild-west touch, with wood used as the key decorating element. Read_on (1 Comment)

Priza Bar

A bar decorated with hundreds of… sockets, promising to electrify your evenings in Athens. It is fast acquiring its own Read_on (1 Comment)

Psira

“Pseira”, nits in English, is among the smallest premises in Athens. So what?  “Lets turn it into a cozy bar” the owner thought and there you have it. Read_on (No Comments)

Rosebud

This is a gorgeous artistic café-restaurant with Belgian comic-book character Tin-Tin as its wall-tapestries’ motif. Read_on (No Comments)

Seven Jokers

A real fun bar for those who want to get sloshed. The owner/bartender puts on an amazing show, with dancing and singing on his everyday menu. Read_on (2 Comments)

Six D.O.G.S.

A completely new concept has taken over Avramiotou Street, a tiny, little road hidden just off Athinas Street. Once the haunt of skaters and general night-time shenanigans with four different bars offering up four very different identities, 6 D. Read_on (No Comments)

Tango Bar

Not exactly a bar, not exactly a dance school, this is a well hidden meeting-spot for people who love to tango. Every Friday after 18:30pm, there are free lessons for beginners. Read_on (No Comments)

Tapas Bar

The Iberian peninsula in the heart of Athens.  Start off with interesting Spanish nibbles in the small dining area and end up knocking back the greatest mai tais you’ve tasted since your last trip to Madrid. Read_on (No Comments)

The Art Foundation (TAF)

Established in 2008, TAF is a relatively new kid on the Monastiraki block, a refreshing and creative endeavour that puts all other art-cum-bar establishments to shame. Read_on (No Comments)

The James Joyce

The James Joyce
This is precisely what was missing from the Athenian scene: A typical Irish pub. All major sports events are covered and every weekend and some week nights artists from around Europe perform live. Read_on (3 Comments)

Toy Bar

This is a small bar that pioneered the nightlife scene around Karitsi Square. A classic already, it encompasses three distinctive Read_on (No Comments)

Tria Gourounakia

Private parties are staged in the basement, so don’t be surprised if you’re refused entrance.  However, the ground floor is for everyone and if you were local you’d recognize a few familiar faces from TV. Read_on (No Comments)

Tribeca

Young flirty professionals gather here for after-work drinks to see and be seen by their peers. Music is mainstream, drinks Read_on (No Comments)

Trova

A lovely narrow art nouveau building hidden just off Athinas St has been transformed into an authentic Cuban corner complete with a small live stage where jazz and funk bands often perform. Read_on (No Comments)

Alley Cat

If cold beer and rock is what you need after a good dinner in Gazi, then you’ll find it in this old converted house. A welcome change from the almost identical music played in every bar around the area. Read_on (No Comments)

Ambariza

It opens early in the morning serving coffees and snacks etc but this place is basically a watering hole for selective drinkers. Read_on (No Comments)

Baba Au Rum

Forget everything you knew about cocktails! This new arrival is virtually a cocktail lab! The guys import directly most of the rare spirits, bitters and syrups they use to produce their out-of-this-world cocktails. Read_on (1 Comment)

Capu

One of the two bars that have transformed this small arcade on Lekka street into a buzzing nightspot. The decoration is retro-pop and the music is mainly black beat and soul. Read_on (No Comments)
