Cocktail bar
Bar
Baba au Rum is a renowned cocktail bar located in Athens, known for its inventive and diverse drink selection. The bar offers a wide range of traditional and uniquely crafted cocktails, showcasing their passion for mixology. With accolades such as being named one of the 50 best bars in the world, Baba au Rum boasts a charming atmosphere and also sells its own rum for purchase.
Nice bar! The 50BestBar 2024 list was not wrong. Amazing drinks and atmosphere. Service lacks a bit of attentiveness but is hard to have it all. Its rum’s list is extensively amazing but we were there for the cocktails that do not defraud. No food in the bar but seems to be that they own the property across the street and you may have it… I went for the drinks and got more than enough. Although we spent more than 60€ per person we had several drinks each of us. And the unitary price is fair and you get great quality for your money.

Athens might have a few “top 50” bars but this definitely meets the expectations. Great cocktails met with tasteful music (can’t say for all the other bars). Would recommend Devils Milk, one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Had mixture of 3 cocktails for €30, can’t complain
Charlie T — Google review
Summary: inconsistent quality of cocktails & bad service with attitude. No need to come here for rum cocktails if you’re from the US or Latin America. Edit: read the reply by the owner down below. This shows you what type of business this is and how nonchalant they are - threatening customers for honest reviews. I’m attaching video and photo taken from last night to prove I was there. I have taken proof of the threat and reserve any further rights. Went here because of the Top 50 ranking. The bar is cute and has a throwback vibe with a live DJ. The experience turned south quickly when I got my first highball which was flat, as I observed the bartender use an opened bottle of sparkling water. Who knows how long it’d been sitting there, and for €12 I’d expect a good drink. From there, the waitress in all blue denim outfit took my drink AND my water before I had finished. She was so busy hanging out with her coworkers and drinking behind the bar, I doubt she was fully functional. She was also rude when I told her about my drink, and said she was only responsible for cleaning the table. To get my drink back, I’d need to talk to the server or the bartender. The whole thing took about 20 min to resolve as they kept ignoring me and serving their friends at the bar. I had to flag down a poor server, who finally brought me my drink. The last straw was when they brought me a new highball, this time it was completely flat and so strong with the whiskey that it wasn’t really a cocktail at all.
Skip F — Google review
The cocktails were really good! I had the glass of tears and it was one of the best cocktails I tried in Athens. But sadly, due to being understaffed, the service was horrible. The waitress was kinda rude and you had to beg to order or have the check. I don’t blame her as it was packed on a Friday night and she was the only one taking orders.
Noyan Y — Google review
Unfortunately, I only remembered to take a photo after finishing my drink :) Overall, the cocktails were delicious. I tried the Delicious Sour and the Anti Novel Margarita. The Anti Novel Margarita was about 4.5/5 for me, while the Delicious Sour was a solid 4/5—maybe because I had higher expectations for it. The atmosphere and the street were beautiful, the bar itself looks great, and the DJ performance was really nice. Recommended!
Burak K — Google review
The cocktails here are pretty good. I like 2/3 of the cocktails I got and my boyfriend also liked 2/3 he got. I would stick to the rum base cocktails. Most of their cocktails are rum based anyways. We also got snacks as well, they weren’t rememberable but not awful.
Lauren C — Google review
I think this drink was one of the best cocktails I have ever had! That’s why this place is amongst the best bars in the world! It’s a bit hard to find a nice seat but I guess it worth the wait. Whenever I’m in Athens, I will visit Baba au Rum 🥰
Sahra K — Google review
If you are a pyrate, this is the place for you. Greatest rum selection I've ever seen, pretty much covering all South America and more. Went there for some cocktails for our last night in Athens and what a good place to end up! The gents at the bar are just wizards. No surprise the bar is in top 50 bars since 2019 (at least) permanently.

Nestled in the heart of Athens, The Clumsies is a renowned cocktail bar that has garnered international acclaim for its exceptional spirits and warm ambiance. Housed in a beautifully restored neo-classical building, this multi-room bar offers an all-day dining experience with breakfast, lunch, dinner menus, and an impressive selection of premium cocktails.
One can very quickly see why this location is one of the best bars in the world, hands down. I asked the bar tender to help choose drinks for me based on my preferred flavor profile and boy were each drink amazing. We had only planned on stopping in for a single drink and ended up sampling three. The only reason we left was due to dinner plans on the other side of Plaka. This location truly is unique and special and should not be missed.

AMAZING! Really reaches the expectations, has a great ambiance, the staff is great and mostly the drinks were amazing. We ended up trying 3 and they were all great. We weren’t going to eat, but we ended up trying the corn balls and WOW!!!! So tender and delicious. Highly recommend the bar.

One of the best cocktail bars I’ve ever been to. Nice atmosphere, very kind staff that don’t mind sharing their knowledge and explaining the drinks and most importantly: amazing drinks. They have a great selection of classic cocktails, but also a lot of very weird mixes that somehow work so so well. Will be returning to this one, for sure!

Such a great cocktail bar! The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel truly welcome from the moment you arrive. The cocktails are fantastic creative, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. The Metaxa Angel is absolutely brilliant definitely a must-try if you visit! It's the kind of place that's perfect not only for a casual drink with friends but also if you want to explore and try something a bit more special. Highly recommended! 🍸

It was definitely one of the best bars I have ever been in. Amazing staff that knows their stuff, incredible selection of very tasty cocktails. Loved it, went there 2 times in 3 days. Tried multiple different cocktails, loved hippocampus and the one with bergamot and pine. Also the complimentary nuts were very tasty. They definitely know their stuff.
Noyan Y — Google review
A few days before our trip to Athens I read that The Clumsies was named one of the best cocktail bars in the world. I was very excited to see it was only a few minutes walk from our hotel. The bar is very quaint with fun decor and comfortable seating. We ordered the cocktail flight to share and I got the terra cotta cocktail (sorry, don't recall the actual name) and my wife had the Mediterranean Gimlet which she said was delicious and tastes like a Greek salad. Definitely a must for any travelers that love unique cocktails in a fun setting.
Jay H — Google review
I come to Athens every year and I finally made it to Clumsies. I had the highly awarded Aegean Negroni which was nice. The prices are great considering the award it has achieved as one of the highest rated bars in the world for 2025. For me a place that you come once and then try the many other boutique bars in and around Athens - hundreds of them. Ps not sure why the complimentary peanuts were half full ? Left over from a previous order or they find that’s all you really need? It kinda stood out

Six D.O.G.S is a versatile cultural hub that offers live music, DJ sets, art exhibitions, and club nights alongside a cozy cafe and bar. Since its establishment in 2009, it has garnered a dedicated following. The venue hosts an array of events including Greek rap gigs, techno DJ sets, art openings, and record launches. Its laid-back atmosphere and do-it-yourself aesthetic make it an integral part of Athens' nightlife.
At first glance, the front entrance made us think the bar was closed. We hesitated, but then noticed people heading down into the bar, so we followed—and we’re glad we did! It turned out to be very lively, likely due to the weekend crowd. The entrance gave off a cool speakeasy vibe, which added to the experience. Once inside, we found it quite cozy, making it a perfect spot for a couple of local beers.

Absolutely amazing. I love that it is focused on sustainability, the interior is lovely, the little courtyard adorable. Everything we ate was good, the burger, wrap, smoothie was amazing, coffee surprisingly not so great but maybe that's just me. The staff was nice. Loved the place and coming back for sure.

Not the beeest place to come if you’re a tourist looking for authentic Greek food, but they make killer cocktails, the ambiance is amazing, and the food is great (just not suuuper Greek lol). We had the Dog, the artichoke salad, and a green smoothie and everything was very tasty. The wait staff was also very responsive and friendly.
Ceci J — Google review
Great place to have your coffee or lunch. There is a garden at the back with trees which makes the experience a nice quiet break, given that you are at the busiest part of Athens. This time I had lunch as well; their cuisine has a middle eastern touch so expect a plethora of spices, which might put of someone who just wants to eat chips with mayo ( my friend's teenage kid). I tried the burger and it was super delicious a bit on the spicy side. Service is a bit slow when you sit down and wish to order (no eye contact and depends on the level of professionalism of the waitress). It is also a super trendy night club with loads of live DJ acts but I personally consider it as my favourite coffee break place when downtown.
Eva T — Google review
A small, down-at-heel approach to the bar masks a trendy but relaxing bar with a huge outdoor shady garden perfect for winding away an afternoon or night. Great, chilled beats in the evening with everyone chatting and everyone having a great time and zero judgement or hassles. By the time night comes it turns into a Peter Pan-esque garden, somewhere you’d want to stay all night. Cocktails were cool and not overly expensive and the food surprisingly good.

Upupa Epops is a trendy bar and restaurant located in the cosmopolitan Petralona neighborhood of Athens. Housed in a renovated 1930s building, the venue exudes a hip tavern vibe with its vibrant bohemian antiques and furniture. The outdoor courtyard, adorned with black-and-white tiles and pops of color, offers a scenic setting for enjoying signature cocktails and all-day brunch.
Came across this wonderful place when we arrived early for a play. We decided to have a drink and fell instantly in love with the atmosphere and the nice music! After the play we came back for dinner (as did many others) and were seated at a small table inside. Since we were there for food, we requested a larger table so as to have enough room for our plates. We were immediately taken to a larger table which had just become available! The staff was friendly and accommodating, the service was impeccable and the food delicious and logically priced. I highly recommend it!

The Bloody Mary was a big disappointment. It was too salty and the tomato juice was a very basic variety. It was a busy night but more attention from the staff would have been appreciated. At this level a bit more care from the bartender is required.

I must say that i was a bit on a rush to find a place to have a quick lunch before going back to the conference and it turns out that i found this awesome gem. The service was quick and impeccable, allowing me to enjoy the time left into eating peacefully. From sitting to getting food at the table in less than 10 minutes. Also, the location, space and vibe is really jazzy and relaxing making it really enjoyable. If you are in the area don't think twice and eat a truffle burger, delicious 🤤

A unique place in a typical “old Athenian neighbourhood” building, the owners have kept many of its original architectural features and made it even better! The service is great, the quality is even better! If you visit the historical industrial district of Athens or Keramikos’ ancient cemetery, this is a must place for a coffee, brunch or even a drink at night! In a walking distance from Keramikos metro station (blue line) and Petralona electric railway station (green line)!

I was there in September and Epopa had the catering for a convention at a nearby building . Coffee & food was of excellent quality and the staff efficient and friendly. It was served at a picturesque alley that looked like a real old yard.I can not commend on the drinks, since it was a morning function.

After enjoying the ancient monuments in the Acropolis area, we decided to have dinner at City ZEN All Day Bar Restaurant. The reason we chose this place was that an older gentleman at the entrance warmly greeted us earlier in the day, so we went upstairs to make a dinner reservation and requested outdoor seating to enjoy the view of the Acropolis as it lit up from sunset to night. However, we noticed that the staff repeatedly emphasized the 25-euro minimum spend per person when we were ordering. While we didn’t mind, we observed that other tables seemed to only order a beer and leave, which made us wonder if there was some form of differential treatment. Additionally, we asked a female server for forks three times, and although she said she would bring them, they never arrived. Despite these service issues, we were satisfied with the food and ambiance. The price was reasonable, and the sunset and night views were stunning. It made for a very enjoyable evening with family on our first day in Athens.

City Zen is located in the heart of Plaka. As a rooftop spot, it can be a bit tricky to find, but it's absolutely worth the effort. This cozy rooftop offers stunning views of the Acropolis, creating the perfect atmosphere for drinks and unforgettable moments. The DJ adds a lively yet relaxed vibe, enhancing the overall ambiance. The staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring you're well taken care of throughout your visit. Like many restaurants in Athens, don’t expect luxury or extravagance City Zen embraces a more laid-back, authentic charm. And that’s exactly what makes it a must-visit for anyone seeking a genuine Greek experience.

the servers are really nice and very helpful and the place is gorgeous but the food is just really not it. it was just incredibly boring and overpriced. the pasta with chicken tasted like something you would feed a 3 year old with just pure cream and nothing else. and the chicken was so dry and tasteless. most of the other food was very sad as well and the greeksalat had feta with vanilla in it?? weird experience but i’d say if you are just here for drinks it would be really good since the view if just perfect.
Mathilde E — Google review
What a rip-off! We went there for a quick break, but the experience was disappointing from start to finish. First, we chose a rooftop table and politely asked if they could open the umbrella so we wouldn’t sit directly under the sun while enjoying the Acropolis view. The staff flatly refused — with no real explanation, just “we can’t do that.” So we moved downstairs instead, but the service didn’t get any better. The waiter ignored us for about 20 minutes before finally taking our order — and it wasn’t even busy. The table next to us, who arrived later, had already received their food before our order was even taken. To make things worse, it seemed like the waiter was more interested in chatting up that table (which happened to be all girls) than actually serving customers. After repeating our order several times, he still managed to get it wrong. And when the bill came, it was confusing and looked suspiciously off — even after asking twice for clarification, it still didn’t add up. There are plenty of better places nearby with honest pricing and decent service. No wonder this place was almost empty. Definitely not recommended.

We chose this restaurant primarily for its beautiful views. From the reservation stage onward, the staff were courteous and helpful. The waitstaff were exceptionally attentive, anticipating even the subtlest needs, and the service throughout was truly world-class, greatly enhancing our dining experience. We enjoyed it so much that we returned to the same table the following day and were delighted to be served by the same attentive gentleman, whose recommendations - including excellent cocktails - were much appreciated. The food was flavorful and well prepared, with generous portions, particularly the desserts. Spending our final evening in Athens here was a pleasure. Thank you!

Ciel Athens is a chic rooftop venue located near the Metropolitan Cathedral in the heart of Athens. The rooftop offers both indoor and outdoor seating with lush greenery, striking wall art, and panoramic views of iconic landmarks such as the Acropolis, Lycabettus, and the Temple of Hephaestus. Guests can savor a diverse menu featuring all-day brunch, Mediterranean dishes, and signature cocktails while enjoying selected music genres in a vibrant atmosphere.
Nice rooftop bar and restaurant with views of the square and Acropolis. The drinks are very good and reasonably priced for the area. Quick wait time and there is indoor and outdoor seating. Be careful mid day upstairs when it gets hot 🫠 worth checking out if you’re out for drinks in the area

Really great location (central, safe, quiet) and the staff were super friendly. The rooftop bar is immaculate with a great view and amazing food/drinks. The rooms are cleaned daily and are quite nice. The only issue we had which was super manageable was that the drain in the bathroom was emitting a smell. We were able to open the bathroom window and air it out. I definitely recommend this place.

We stayed here for two nights. The staff were very helpful. Check in was super smooth and easy. The room we had was small but quaint. We had enough space for our luggage. Very clean and comfortable. We had the view of the church and it was beautiful to see in the day and night. The rooftop is also a beautiful spot to visit. We would go up during the day and night to enjoy the view. A lot of restaurants nearby. A grocery store just downstairs. Another plus is that if you are a guest at the hotel you can get 10% off on your order from the restaurant downstairs.

I booked a table on the rooftop as had been recommended by friends. Cocktails were fabulous and the perfect sunset view of the Acropolis. Food was good but not exceptional and sadly spoiled for me by the number of smokers around us. I thus would definitely go back for cocktails as there was a great atmosphere and the view was fabulous. I would eat in the downstairs restaurant or elsewhere.

Stayed here one night and it was great. Super comfortable rooms and bed. The roof top bar was great and prices weren’t crazy. Amazing view of the acropolis. Only slight issue is the spiral staircase to the roof, my parents struggled with that. Wish the elevator went all the way to the top. Also the view is a little blocked from the back seats which is a shame.

recently visited Ciel Restaurant in Athens, and unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. I ordered the risotto, and it was honestly one of the worst dishes I’ve ever had. The texture was completely off mushy and raw,The flavor was bland and unbalanced. For a restaurant that presents itself as a high-end dining spot, I expected much better quality and attention to detail. I had been looking forward to a nice meal, but instead, it was a major disappointment. I rarely write negative reviews, but I think it’s important to share honest feedback. I truly hope the restaurant takes this as a chance to improve, especially when it comes to their risotto and overall food quality.

For a rooftop bar, it did what needed to be done. I ordered the Mastiha cocktail and it wasn’t strong and very sweet. If you love sweet cocktails, it will work for you. Service is decent and I didn’t need a reservation to get in. You will also get really great views of the Acropolis and the sunset unobstructed.

It’s our first day in Athens! If a drink cost $17 Euro Drinks then the service needs to also be up to that level $17. We spend $40 Euro for three drinks. My drink was just juice $8 Euro for a glass full of ice and a little juice Really? I don’t drink alcohol so this was well not what I expected. The waitress was not great, she spend most of her time on her cell phone, never once came to check on us, do you need more drinks, ask us if we needed anything? I had to keep asking her for things, raising my hand asking for things more pop corn, another cherry, a glass of ice for the water. This is a tourist spot not one locals so you are our first impression. The view is spectacular, Go for the view and enjoy it but just ask for a different waitress. The blonde young lady who took my photos was awesome we should have tipped her instead. $40 for drinks! Atleast come ask us if we want another drink, a piece of bread or something. But the View was worth it.

Wonderful view of the city, drinks are good but a little pricey for the area. A Coke is 5.50 and an Arizona iced tea is 7 euros but a beer is 8. Mixed drinks are 14-22. We are a group of 8 with one under 18 and they were quick to tell us everyone in the party needed to order something. A little petty considering our bill would be over 100 euros with the rest of us ordering.

It was nice, with a great view of the acropolis. Reaching the place can be a bit confusing - just go into the building google indicates and then take the elevator to the top floor - after that you still have to climb a set of stairs to reach the rooftop though! The service itself was ok but I thought it could have been better, especially when it started raining and I wasn't sure where to move. Ordered Gemista and some salad, the gemista was a bit cold.

The Juan Rodriguez Bar is a beautifully decorated cocktail bar located in the heart of Athens. The drinks are delicious and the staff attentive. The only downside is that parking can be a challenge, and it can sometimes be difficult to get inside if it's busy.
Passed this place during the day just by chance and was very intrigued from the outside. Very cool looking bar, which is 'black magic' themed. Had a drink at the bar, friendly staff. Was told it's a very popular place at night with a DJ.

Great place with good food, good drinks (very interesting cocktails!) and the best view onto the Akropolis. Especially at night the view is crazy and they even have a DJ playing so the atmosphere is awesome. Giorgos Z was really nice and caring. Sometimes we just had to wait a bit until someone came to order but guess that's because of the many guests.

The cocktails we had here were delicious and the views are spectacular, city and Acropolis and ruins. The food was rather disappointing though. Beef carpaccio wasn't good at all and the bread was nothing noteworthy. They'll charge you extra if you make the mistake of ordering butter 😂 stick with olive oil.

The Urban Attic Rooftop Terrace is an absolute gem! From the moment you step onto the terrace, you’re greeted with a stunning panoramic view of the city — the perfect backdrop for a relaxed evening or a special celebration. The atmosphere is stylish yet laid-back, with cozy seating, soft lighting, and a chic urban vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure your glass is full and your experience is perfect. The cocktails are beautifully crafted — both creative and delicious — and the food menu is just as impressive. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

The restaurant Ermou 18 Beyond the Horizon has a charming rooftop lounge with panoramic city views. It is perfect for taking in the sights of Athens from a new perspective, and the casual atmosphere and good service will make it a popular choice for coffee and dessert. The brownie was good, but the prices are reasonable compared to other rooftops.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 My Favourite Rooftop in Athens! This rooftop bar is, hands down, my favourite in Athens – especially for its breathtaking view of the Acropolis and the sunset. The panorama is simply stunning and makes it a must-visit for anyone in the city. The atmosphere is vibrant and full of life, particularly on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights when it's usually quite busy. The lighting is pleasant, the music lively without being overwhelming, and the crowd tends to be mostly young adults. The seating is very comfortable, which is a big plus when you're staying for drinks and conversation. Cocktails and drinks are excellent – creative, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. While the food menu is fairly basic, this is above all a place for enjoying great drinks with a spectacular view. The service is highly professional and attentive, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended if you're looking for an unforgettable night out in Athens! 🍸🌇

Nisha N — Google review
We visited Ermou 18 on our very first night in Athens, and it truly set the tone for the trip. The view of the Acropolis is absolutely breathtaking—completely unobstructed and one of the best in the city. The rooftop offers a perfect setting for sunset cocktails or mocktails, paired with casual Mediterranean bites like burgers and prawn tempura. In the evenings, the venue transforms into a stylish shisha lounge, making it ideal for both romantic dinners and social meetups with friends. The atmosphere is chic yet relaxed, with minimalist island-inspired décor and great music adding to the experience. Service was friendly and efficient, and while the food leans more toward comfort fare than gourmet dining, it suited the setting perfectly. If you’re after a rooftop bar with incredible views, a laid-back vibe, and attentive service, Ermou 18 is hard to beat. Try to visit at sunset—it’s absolutely magical.

It’s ok at best. The vibe and atmosphere are very nice, minimalistic and chic! The food was nothing I’d ever crave to have again. We had a few different items on the menu (fried feta sticks, beef tacos, paprika chicken strips and pinza with prosciutto) and all lacked flavor. I was expecting more for the price and great reviews. Would recommend going for cocktails after the sun goes down for a nice view of the acropolis! However, expect to spend about €14-16 per drink. Some cocktails are very small. I personally think there’s better late night rooftop options nearby

This rooftop in Athens has a breathtaking view of the Acropolis lit up at night. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed night out. The menu offers a nice selection of small plates and drinks; everything we tried was flavorful and well-prepared, ideal for sharing. Just one drawback , there are fewer vegetarian options compared to meat and seafood plates, so vegetarians might find the choices a bit limited. Overall, though, the setting, ambience, and quality of food and drinks make this rooftop a wonderful experience in Athens—especially if you want to enjoy the Acropolis in all its nighttime glory. 🌙🍷

The bar's 80s kitsch nostalgia vibe features bamboo accents, plants, and leopard-print chairs. It offers a range of carefully crafted cocktails such as the Jamaican Sour with fresh lime and Campari, the American Smash with Tennessee whiskey and tropical options like the Dominican Margarita with rum.

The decor was the best part about Tiki Bar Athens. We each had a cocktail and they were good (I had a Paloma and my husband had a Mai tai) but nothing special. The complimentary popcorn as a bar snack was a nice touch. Service was slow though so I went to order the drinks at the bar myself and even ask for the bill when we were ready because the wait staff was nowhere in sight.

Nice jazz bar in the quiet part of Kolonaki. Mistakenly, I went there expecting to enjoy some live music -- the place is what is says it is, a bar, perfectly styled for the Jazz with some nice music playing and a good selection of well-made cocktails available.

Noel was on our radar as a cocktail bar until we walked by it during the lunch hour and people were inside. We changed our original lunch plans to dine at Noel and didn't regret it. To eat, we ordered pork gyros and the cheese pizza for our eight-year-old daughter. Everything was delicious! The gyros don't come with sauce or tzatziki, but it didn't need it. The meat was perfectly flavored and paired well with the bread and onions. To drink, I ordered one of their more sweet cocktails with a berry garnish. It was refreshing!

Kiki de Grèce is a charming bistro located in the picturesque alley of Hepitou, offering a delightful selection of Greek delicacies and Mediterranean cuisine. The small but stylish establishment boasts an extensive wine list featuring over fifty choices from a home vineyard. Situated in the lively pedestrian street of Ipitoy, this cozy wine bar provides a convivial atmosphere and pays homage to Greek wines, showcasing selections from lesser-known winemakers.
Really enjoyed this stylish wine bar / bistrot right at the centre of Athens, only minutes from central metro stations. I want to mention the wonderful service. When we visited, the waiter not only recommended wine (= we tried the citrus scented, new to me “orange wine”) but also guided us through dishes that would fit well with it. A great place to relax with friends after work, try excellent new tastes in wine, and have good food to accompany it alongside.

Every time we visit this place, we are warmly treated. The waiter is steadily ready to make useful suggestions and always with a smile. We never have time to take photos of the delicious plates. We practice mindfulness while eating and we enjoy every bite. Cheers to Kiki ❤️

We were a company of 9 and we went there to this bistro , because we could combine and food and coffee and beers and wine and dessert.. so we had a dessert which was tasty ... Chicken breast with baby potatoes.. few beers from small breweries and coffee ... Nice interior too... We went early so for all the time we spent there we were the only customers.

Best restaurant of Athens! A true hidden gem, right in the very center of the city - but just off the beaten track without the noise. The food is amazing and so are the people running Kiki de Grece 🥰✨ Thanks to the host for the great talk! And the great advice for escaping Athens at the Temple of Poseidon. At this very moment, we are there, enjoying the romantic sunset at this ancient wonder ❤️🌞

A celebration of life’s simple pleasures, where bohemian charm meets refined taste. A lovely quiet spot in the middle of the city. This wine bistro offers creative interpretations of finest greek cuisine, with a good glass of exclusive greek wine. All executed with attention to detail, quality, and presentation. We loved it. Thank you for your hospitality. The dishes are light, pure, and seasonal, crafted with fresh ingredients and a beautifully refined balance of taste. And the wines are exquisit.

We had brunch at Kuko’s today and really enjoyed it. The food was delicious and well presented, and the service was good and friendly. We had a wonderful time and would definitely go back. Highly recommended.

Stopped because the place looked promising. We had one quick drink and stayed for about 20 minutes. The waiter visibly cracked it when we politely declined to leave a tip. I’ve travelled extensively across Greece, speak the language, and have visited everything from high end venues to humble family run tavernas. Never have I encountered such rude, entitled behaviour. This wasn’t just awkward, it was absolutely disgusting. Hospitality is supposed to be a cornerstone of Greek culture, and Kukos completely missed the mark. There are far better spots in Athens that don’t treat you like a walking wallet.

Cool place for breakfast, the service was good and the food was fresh and in general the atmosphere is super easy and calm. I must say we had a bit of a problem with one of the dishes we ordered- the “classic omelette” by mistake we had some cloth thread inside the omelette, but the staff was really friendly and they’d cleaned it from the bill immediately. Anyway I’m recommending it if you’re in the area!

Great food, amazing view at night of acropolis. Servers were also great. Restaurant also gave us some free drink at the end. Bit of a more expensive night out but you’re paying for the atmosphere, and the view as well. I ordered the sea bream, which was delicious and crunchy. Also salad. Would recommend if you’re up for a more upscale evening. Would also say.1. Worth to book a reso as it seemed like hell for the people in line waiting in the hot staircase to get a table. 2. A bit annoying people keep coming near your table to take a picture by the railing for the view (I get it why). we were sat right near the railing, which was great but had a lot of foot traffic.

Wonderful service and atmosphere. Unfortunately their foods doesn’t deliver the same. I know I’m from the United States, but these things had the consistency of mashed potatoes. Manager said thats the way they were supposed to be. 😂 . Catch of the day was sea bass. Zero flavor. However they do have a good pastry chef. 300 Euro dinner and left hungry. Best thing going for this place is the location and the view.

Great view of the acropolis on the right side of the seating area. Food and service were good and the music was nice. A bit more upscale than other rooftops and comes with a premium as well that is well worth it with the unobstructed view. There is a line as you enter so maybe it’s best to book in advance.

Booked in advance, €50 deposit required that will be deducted from the final bill. The food and service were excellent. I appreciated the cocktails were insured by graffiti and they were delicious. The bathroom situation is very small, but I guess that is almost universal in Athens. Amazing value for money and breathtaking view! 🤩

Great music, vibe and drinks, plus an amazing view of the Acropolis! Tourist reviewing! 📍The Venue: It’s a pretty big space with an industrial feel and a rooftop garden. The view of the Acropolis is amazing, so try to reserve a table with this view. The Drinks: We ordered one drink from their signature cocktail menu (which by the way, is a really original and visual book that describes every drink) and one from the classic drinks. - Eternal Luv: A very nice drink! It had a unique flavor combination I've never tried before. Not bitter and very refreshing, just how I like it. - Vermouth: Really good and refreshing! 💁🏻‍♀️The Service: The staff were nice and our drinks came out quickly. 🅿️ Parking: They don't have a dedicated parking lot. 💭Final Thoughts: It’s on the expensive side, but it’s a great place to enjoy some cool drinks at night.

We were initially drawn to the bar for its supposedly amazing views of the Acropolis, however we struggled to make reservations as our calls were not taken, we decided to show up without and did have to wait around in the very tightly made spiral staircase. Only to be seated directly to a speaker playing some of the most intense house music at an alarmingly loud volume. The views were nice only if you were sat on the edge of the bar’s terrace (assuming you dont mind everyone at the bar approaching you all night to take photos from that side). Drinks were overpriced and not to my liking personally, i stuck to the wine list — but the atmosphere i imagine could be tolerable and even enjoyable in the summer (especially if you are tipsy)

Nice rooftop restaurant with new Greek food. The restaurant has tried to create new Greek cuisine based on the old traditions. Some of it works well and some things needs a little more work. The direction with decoration, food, music and atmosphere is in general good, but drags you in many different directions. Services was excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The view is not directly at Acropolis but the other direction. But the view is still great

We had a light dinner here on the top floor of the hotel. The food felt overpriced. The menu doesn’t offer many options, which was a bit disappointing. We ordered sea bass carpaccio, grilled shrimp, and octopus stew. The dishes were just okay overall, lacking depth of flavor. As a fine dining spot, it focuses on presentation—large plates, small portions, and well-decorated food. Of the three dishes, the octopus stew was my favorite. The grilled shrimp had a pleasant hint of charcoal, but the carpaccio was forgettable.

Pre booked this rooftop restaurant, hoping to have a night view of acropolis. But somehow, it's a bit disappointing cos you can only see part of it. But the full view of lycabettus hill is amazing. Service is great and food are average with the price tag.

We went up to the rooftop bar right before sunset for a round of drinks and a few appetizers. The drinks were very pretty, and I enjoyed my €13 Ame Se gin cocktail. A friend got a Greek salad and she didn’t see to care for it. Another person in our group got the quinoa dish and enjoyed it. Staff was very helpful in taking pics of our group. The view and photo ops are what really sells the place. We arrived close to 90 minutes before sunset and had the perfect table. When we left 30 minutes prior to sunset, there was a long que of people in line to get a table.

The views here are amazing - you can't see the Acropolis clearly from the rooftop but you get a great view of the other two hills in Athens. It's a very chill and relaxing vibe and we loved it as our first stop in Athens. Unfortunately, the food was very average and not the most delicious. We also found a rock in our food and were super glad we caught it before we cracked a tooth. Overall, chill vibes, not great dining experience.

This allows guests to enjoy pricey or vintage wines without having to purchase a full bottle. The elegant setting makes it perfect for business meetings or upscale gatherings.
Dinner at Bistro by the Glass in Athens was absolutely delightful! The staff were welcoming, kind, and very helpful in guiding us to choose the perfect wine—Plano Malagousia, which paired wonderfully with the meal. The chicken was cooked to perfection, and the cheese and charcuterie board was exceptional. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The restaurant is well dedigned in an elegant way and is hidden from the overall "beauty" of the surroundings. I went there for a business dinner but I dont think there would be much difference if it was privately. Went there @18.30 and left @22.30 having just finished the dessert. There were long waiting times even for a beer (not all of the to be fair) - we had the food around 21.00 although we didnt delay the order. The steak (veal) was well cooked but nothing special in terms of taste. Salad was better. Pinsa good but rather small. Dessert was interesting but only the pastry, sorbet chocolate so and so. Overall I dont believe it was worth the price the company paid and I would most probably wouldn't choose it myself again. Variety of beers was reduced as opposed to wines, but since we didnt opt for wine I cannot say anything.

Made a booking for 4 inside without issues. Arrived and got sat outside in the hallway - slightly annoying but at least the staff apologised for the change of plans. Ordered from a comprehensive wine list and everyone was satisfied. Got a really nice beef tartare, the chicken was alright and the dishes generally satisfactory with the exception of the aubergine that was a let down, the various purees really didn't mix well. Service was great, the staff attentive, quick and polite. Fairly expensive, justified mostly by the service and the location. Decent option but there's a lot of good alternatives in the city centre to better cater to someone's tastes.

Wow, amazing place we found, full of locals. We are told to get there early., At 7pm there was already a wait list and it kept getting bigger thru the evening, like 10+ on the wait list. Food was amazing and wine selection also. Visit early.

I’d say it is the only place you need to know in Athens if you like really good simple food and natural wines. Setting is beautiful with very relaxed service.

Such a disappointment. I’ve been looking forward to trying this place out and it was such a waste. The tartare was uneatable with huge chunks of meat and no flavor. The steak is said to be “pan fried” but it seemed boiled and tasted fishy. Not sure how you can mess up a steak so badly, but they did. The salad was bland and underwhelming to put it nicely. Only go if you want wine or bread, but there’s a church up the street for that.

price is not small maybe, but portions are huge, a plate for two plus fries would be fine for three (we took some food with us), rest of the dishes were also tasty Greet view on Acropolis and the city

Good place located on the main pedestrian street a few minutes from Acropolis. Went there for a quick bite and coffee. My smoothie was a bit too sweet and definitely not worth 7euro however service and coffee were nice.

The view is fantastic, it has three floors, the top one is like a closed roof garden. Evening and night time is ace. There is a balcony on the first floor and a large window on the second. Although people smoke on the top floor the atmosphere is not that stuffy. I think they do not smoke on the other floors. Nice coffee and friendly staff.

Great view from the roof garden all over the ancient city center (Akropolis until Temple of Theseus) and excellent kitchen. A reservation for a table in the upper floor and the roof garden is recommended in the evening. Or you are early enough (about 18:30h the latest) in order to finish your supper before guests with reservation arrive.

Stopped there for a piece of cake and a cup of tea/coffee. On the negative side (and the reason for the low rating): they brought us the Brunch menu when ordering (where the prices were lower) and charged us by the Normal menu (the difference was of only 2 euros, but still). In the end we paid the price from the Brunch menu, but only because we noted that the check was incorrect and asked them about it (although, at first, the waiter tried to argue that the check was correct and showed us the Normal menu to support his argument). On the plus side: the chesecake was very good.

We visited Chocolat Royal after seeing some positive reviews but were disappointed with their menu amongst other aspects of the restaurant. Staff were pleasant and helpful however they were not able to hide how lost and unprepared they were. There are different menus depending on the floor you choose to eat. Top floor has incredible uninterrupted views of Acropolis hence they don't try very hard and the food available is mediocre. The below level is beautifully appointed and so is the bar on the ground floor however the food although slightly better is nothing to rave about. Overall a good place for a drink or two...but I would eat elsewhere....not to mention that it is terribly overpriced.

Great place to eat, you can eat up stairs at no extra cost, food is great, when it's busy expect to wait a while between meals, I wanted a dessert but In my opinion i waited too long in between my Starter and Main course so I didn't bother ordering the dessert I wanted.

MS Roof Garden is a vibrant eatery located above the Museum of Islamic Art in the Keramikos district, offering unobstructed views of the Acropolis. The rooftop terrace features colorful murals and provides a quieter setting away from the crowds. It's known for its unique combination of art, culture, and coffee. The bright and floral decoration stands out among other rooftops near Monastiraki Square.
The perfect welcome to Greece! Our first dinner in Athens was at MS Roof Garden, and it couldn’t have been a better introduction. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. Our server, Georgia, was so kind and attentive, and the manager, Maria, truly made the night unforgettable. She was incredibly friendly and gave us amazing recommendations—both for the menu and places to visit during our trip. Her warmth and hospitality took our experience to the next level. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The pita, tzatziki, and stuffed grape leaves were especially delicious. The ambiance was just as memorable: a stunning view of the Acropolis, romantic twinkling lights, lush plants and flowers, and great music. The whole place had a cozy, welcoming vibe while still feeling vibrant and popular. We’ll definitely be recommending this spot to others and hope to return on our next visit to Athens!

Visiting Greece for the first time, I wanted my introduction to Greek cuisine to be unforgettable—and MS Garden delivered beyond expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly and seated at a table with a breathtaking view of the illuminated Acropolis, a sight that made the evening feel truly magical. As this was my first time trying authentic Greek food, every dish was a delightful discovery. The Chicken Souvlaki was incredibly tender and bursting with flavor, the moussaka was rich and comforting, and the Greek salad tasted fresher than I could have imagined. Each bite showcased the essence of traditional Greek cooking, prepared with care and the freshest ingredients. The atmosphere was both relaxed and elegant, with attentive staff who were happy to guide us through the menu and recommend perfect wine pairings. Their passion for hospitality made us feel right at home. For anyone visiting Athens—especially first-time travelers—MS Garden is more than just a place to eat. It’s where you can savor authentic Greek flavors while enjoying one of the most iconic views in the world. An absolute must-visit.

This rooftop is amazing! It’s best to make a reservation in advance to avoid waiting in line. Prices are fairly reasonable. The place is very crowded and full of teenagers. Compared to similar places in the area that require a minimum charge, this one doesn’t — that’s why I chose it, and maybe that’s also why it’s popular among teenagers. The shisha is expensive though — €40.

Last Tuesday evening Gino was our waiter and he was taking care of us professionally. Food is excellent and the view is unbeatable as you can see the busy Monastiraki square and the Acropolis as well. Very pleased we chose this place. I’m in the hospitality/tourism business as well, so I’ve seen many places internationally. Thank you!

Great cocktail and food place located on the rooftop with great views of the Acropolis. Ok so first things first, with a place like this I don't expect amazing food, so when I got staff in the restaurant downstairs to double check that they had gluten free bread and food, they went away, came back assuring us they did. No surprise to find that after we'd seated, I went to order and there was no gf specific food. All in all I'd still recommend the place. It's well designed and they have some higher tables further back, so you can still enjoy the view. The cigarette smoke got a little overwhelming, more as a heads up to those also not as familiar with the constant clouds of smoke. STAFF: Overall very accommodating, friendly and efficient. FOOD: An array of typical tourist affair: burgers, seafood, grilled meats, salads etc. Vegetarian options are available. Reasonably priced (drinks are not surprisingly the most expensive), considering the touristic area it sits in. Lemonade is about €5-10 and water for the table is €1 min. Meals are between €12-25 on average. ACCESSIBILITY: They have lift access, though it may be tight for a wheelchair to move around during peak times (sunset/holidays). OVERALL: Would definitely recommend.

Ate here our first night in Athens. The service and the view are amazing. The food is average, it ended up being our worst meal in athens, but as one of our taxi drivers told us there are to bad meals in athens. We can agree with this. The views and drinks are the highlights here

We had a bench seat looking right over the city and towards the Parthenon - such an incredible view. It’s a bit packed in, but that actually added to the charm, as we ended up chatting with everyone around us. The atmosphere was really friendly and relaxed. We only had drinks, but service was quick and the staff were great. Would definitely recommend!

Bolivar Beach Bar is a vibrant beachfront destination featuring snacks, cocktails, and local wine. It also offers parties and concerts. The service is great and the location next to the beach makes it a perfect spot for a summer day.
Bolivar brings together beach, food, music, and a lively club scene, all in one place. The energy shifts throughout the day, but the vibe stays solid. The menu has something for everyone, prices are fair, and the service is consistently good. If you’re in Athens, it’s worth the stop. Spend the day, stick around for the evening, catch a pristine sunset with a cocktail in hand, or stay for the night. Different DJs and music keep things fresh.

Nice escape when you need to relax a bit from the city of Athens, only 15 minute drive by car/taxi. Great vibes, good music, good food & drinks.

Coming from NYC, I was shocked by how amazing the food was here + the atmosphere! Came around 5pm for dinner and found out lounge chairs were free after 6pm. Got to take a swim and tan just in time for sunset at 8pm. Stayed till about 2am for their party which had a great DJ. Food was reasonably priced for a club restaurant + shots were cheap compared to NYC prices. Overall a definite plus to a trip in Athens if you want some beach and club time!

Beautiful beach with great vibes! The entrance fee is €8 on weekdays and €10 on weekends. You can rent a sunbed on the beach the cheapest option is two sunbeds with an umbrella for €10, and a better option is €25. They also have private cabanas if you want more privacy. The beach is very clean, and the atmosphere is great relaxing music, nice people, and clear blue water . The food is average, nothing special but the prices are reasonable. However, the bathrooms and changing rooms aren’t clean, and there are no closed showers, only open ones outside. So keep that in mind if you plan to shower after swimming. Overall, it’s a beautiful and enjoyable beach, definitely worth visiting There’s also a My Market supermarket just 5 minutes’ walk away you can grab snacks, chips, and drinks from there. We arrived by bus, and the stop was just a 2-minute walk from the beach super convenient!

Overall, a nice day at the beach and escape from the city! X

A decent beach near 20min from central Athens. You’ll have to pay 8 euros for the entry and 5 euros for the cheapest sun-bed on a week day. During weekends it is 10 and 7 euros (you have a lot of other options) The sea is very clean and beautiful. The sand had some garbage in it, but overall was pretty clean too. The beach has nice outdoor showers, toilets and changing rooms. You can also order the variety of food and beverages, but we didn’t try any of it

Super wide area with their own beach. To enter you must pay the entry fee. It depends on which date, events, day time or night time. You would have very nice and comfy seats by the beach or inside. Service is quick and professional. The vibe at night (before 11pm) is quite slow and under expectation (maybe too early) or maybe they are too wide.

Co-owned by Aris Sklavenitis, a renowned sommelier, Oinoscent has quickly grown from a small wine bar to a spacious restaurant that attracts wine enthusiasts. The establishment offers Mediterranean-inspired dishes with hints of Asian influence, creating perfect pairings with their diverse wine collection.
Everything about this place was excellent. From the first interaction at the front of house, to every dish and wine pairing. This place knows complex flavors and are very creative with ingredients and textures. To the staff, I apologize, I should've tipped more, but its my first time in Greece and first night in Athens.

Many many wines available by the glass, and so much more available by the bottle if you seek them out. Lamprini is an absolute gem, and was a joy to see both of our visits. More than accommodating, she made a lasting impression on us. The wine selection is well curated from choice selections across the world. Served in proper stemware and with care. If you are into wine and are tired of things being served in ISO/Port glasses you will have a great time here. Many thanks Lamprini!

Very disappointing experience. We ordered two wines from the “Fine Wine” selection, and both were poured from the end of the bottle. One of them was completely full of cork residue. The bartender didn’t ask if it was acceptable, as is usually done, and didn’t even apologize when I showed him the glass full of cork pieces. For a place that presents itself as a professional wine bar, this level of service and attention to detail is unacceptable. I would avoid.

The worst service ever ruined a very good salad and pizza. A server took our order and then stood by smoking a cigarette and ignoring people for 30 minutes after we were done. Then when I walked into the bar to pay, the person that took my money, a waitress, was nothing but attitude and practically threw my change at me. I'm not sure if it is because we are American, but you have to realize 48% of us hate Donald Trump's guts too and are against what Netanyahu is doing.

I come to Athens few times a year and every time I’m in town I have to go there for breakfast, brunch or lunch as I love their food. I have to say the menu has changed and I don’t like it or more I miss items used to be on the menu like the fried eggs with spicy sausage and sourdough bread (it’s not there anymore and I hope they will bring it back to the menu). I was disappointed when I didn’t have it today and I got to change for something I’d say I really didn’t enjoy much! I think I was the beast today!

Absolutely sensational! The creativity in the design, to include every little detail, and the artistic nature of the cafe and surrounding buildings set the stage for a great experience. And then the food surpassed it. The Waffles with Poached Eggs was probably one of the most delicious dishes I have ever eaten. I don’t know how they made those waffles, but damn. I was a little worried about ordering something sweet but they had perfect flavor and a bit of a crunch that harmonized with the mashed avocado and precisely poached eggs. The Pink Lemonade drink was cool, crisp and perfectly balanced for a summer day. I just landed in Athens and my trip is off to a flawless start. I don’t know how any other restaurants can top this brunch!

Been going here for 3+ years. Honestly my favorite hookah place in the whole of Athens, and it still remains the cheapest as well from what I know. LOVE the vibes here and the staff is always cool. Incredibly nice roof garden, with a nice view and decoration. The inside is also very nice especially during the winter. Genuinely love this place. They offer good cocktails, decent finger food and are always open till 3am. Definitely recommend for hookah lovers

This hookah lounge impresses with its stylish, relaxed interior and chill background music. The selection of flavors is amazing: from classic options to exotic blends. The hookahs are well-prepared, and deliver thick, flavorful smoke. The guys knows what they are doing. Also, staff are very kind and speaks well english.

My boyfriend and I were staying in Athens for the night and love hookah so we decided to check this place out. It did not disappoint. The BEST service we have ever had. The place is beautiful and has a lovely rooftop to smoke and drink. The entire staff made us feel so welcomed and refilled coals, drinks, etc often. Prices are perfect. We would definitely come back here next time we are in Athens! Thank you!

I visited this shisha bar yesterday 16.7.2025. I was pleasantly surprised by the location and the price for the services. We were very satisfied with the active service, which created a pleasant experience, complementing the beautiful view of Athens from the roof of the house.

It is a literally a hookah world:) I never saw so many hookahs at once! And it is so affordable that each person can take their own, so not to wait your turn. Even if the place will be fully occupied, still each person will have one, as I assume. Amazing experience. The puff is not huge, but lasts for a long time. Generally recommend!

I wanted to smoke Shisha while i was i Athens, where i did find this place after some research online. It is near Kerameikos St. Nice place with a rooftop (unfortunetly the rooptop does not give a view of Acropolis). The service was fast and good, but not many customers that night. The price is really good, i think it is one of my cheapest Shisha i did buy. The taste of my apple Shisha was not bad neither really good, i have smoked better. If the shisha was little better i would have given one more star.

This new bar serves up homemade cocktails every day, with a focus on unique and interesting flavours. The atmosphere is chill and friendly, making it the perfect place to grab a drink while exploring Athens.
The only bar in Athens we went to twice. The staff was very friendly and capable. The drinks were delicious. My particular favourite was the Truffle Old Fashioned. I also had a Tangerine Martini which was very good (though less remarkable). My wife had a virgin mojito (they called it something else, but this was essentially what it was) and loved it. Happy to recommend. Sitting outside was a delight, and it was only after we were leaving (for the second time) that I discovered that "the bar in front of the bar" had a bar behind it 🤦 not sure we were the only ones, since it was busy outside and dead inside!

Athens has a lot of good bars and this is definitely one of it! We came to this place twice, one in the afternoon and the other in the evening, the service was amazing! We tried some sprit, the cream, margarita and one more drink as well as the sando chicken sandwich. We loved everything! Definitely recommend

While looking at the map of the area, I found this place that showed up as top 100 bars in the world so we decided to visit. We only had drinks outside since the weather was really nice. Both of us ordered from the special suggestions menu and both of us were thoroughly impressed by our drinks. While they were more expensive than other places you can probably find nearby, they also were special enough to warrant the price and they did not break the bank either. Cool place with great service and the inside looks really nice with an out of this world decor. Definitely worth a visit!!

Came here and sat outside with family. Good service, great cocktails. The banana horchata cocktail was surprisingly good. They whipped up a passion fruit mocktail that wasn’t on the menu but was great. There’s an indoor and outdoor area. Clean bathroom upstairs. €10-15 for a cocktail.

ATH newspaper is a trendy, industrial-style hangout in Athens Airport that offers sandwiches, snacks, breakfast, cocktails, and coffee. There are two Goldair Lounges at the airport located in Hall A and Hall B. The lounge in Hall B is situated in the Schengen zone opposite gate B13 and provides ample seating.
FROM NYC. This was the best chicken sandwich (Crispy Devil) I've ever had. Bold, I know. The batter for the fried chicken is different, but so much easier on the palate. I'll be in Athens for the next four days and this is probably the only review I'll write. It's quite popular but the seating inside and out are super chill.

My wife and I stopped here for a quick drink on passing. It is in a great location on the corner offering plenty of seating, which is needed as it is a very popular place. My wife ordered a coffee and I ordered a beer. The coffee was served with a biscuit and my beer was served with a small bowl of fries and mini meatballs in red sauce. This was the 1st time I've had that with a beer. It's usually just crisps if anything. Nice touch. The music was funky chillout at a good volume. Not too loud and you could still have a conversation unlike some other places. As it's near the university it has a student vibe and is shabby chic. The staff were accommodating and polite and I will definitely be returning in the future

Perched opposite the Ancient Agora of Athens and the Acropolis Hill, Thissio View is a remarkable rooftop restaurant offering an impeccable view of the Parthenon. The menu may be limited, but each dish is carefully selected to showcase traditional Greek cuisine. With its stunning views and fine dining, it's a top choice for a special meal. Guests praise the attentive staff and recommend trying the new menu items.
We really enjoyed the food at Thissio View, and the view was incredible. I would recommend booking the rooftop garden in advance to make sure you get the best spot. Other than the incredible food the highlight of the restaurant was Stan who greeted us outside, had a great chat with us and recommended some great places for us to visit during our trip. He checked up on as we left us left too. I did have a query about the bill a couple of days after eating here, and mentioned it in my original review. Stan saw the review and reached out to offer to investigate it for us and resolved the issue. My partner and myself really appreciate both how kind and proactive Stan was in this.

The view is nice but that’s about it. If they don’t have free tables with a good view, do not stay. Not worth it. Overpriced, subpar food which does not match neither its price tag nor the expectations for a seemingly “fancy” restaurant. Pro tip: do not get the fries there under any circumstances for they are saltier than the Mediterranean Sea.

Stunning view on the Akropolis! I had the lemon tart with ice cream which was rather disappointing. The tart itself was supermarket quality. It was filled with custard cream without a taste of lemon. The ice cream was mediocre. Forest fruit from the freezer. Pricey (14€) for what it is.
Veerle G — Google review
Only thing that’s worth it about this place is the view. We had read reviews online about how the food wasn’t the best, but decided to still take a chance because apparently the restaurant offers a very good view of the acropolis. It does, but I don’t know if that view makes up for the food. I had a mojito, which tasted like sugar and rhum, while my boyfriend had a pink spritz; in my opinion was disgusting and way too sugary, but he liked it. We decided to split a few entrees; the Greek salad was the least offensive thing we ordered, but not great by any standards. Tzatziki was okay, hummus was terrible and we also had an eggplant spread which was meh. The parmesan fries were ridiculous; normal fries with an absurd amount of sliced Parmesan on top. The cheese balls with mango mayo were absolutely terrible. The service was lacking, and our server was unpleasant. It took over one hour for us to get our food, the restaurant was somewhat busy but still no excuse for having to wait such a long time for a few entrees. We also got our food immediately after letting the waiter know we had been waiting for such a long time, which lets us think the food had been ready for a while and he just forgot to bring it to us. The prices were also quite high for the type of food you get; expected since it’s a tourist spot, but still insulting to pay so much for such bad food (total was 71 € for everything). The server also asked us if it was possible to pay in cash, which my boyfriend and I both found kind of strange. Overall, the only selling point of this restaurant is the view. I do not reccomend.

Love the design of this bar and its large rooftop. Don’t expect sweeping views though — you’ll just see the street. Still, it’s a nice place to sit and relax. We booked for 7pm, but the kitchen had a hiccup so we couldn’t eat. They messaged ahead on WhatsApp though, which I really appreciated. The staff were super friendly. The cocktail I had was solid but small & pricey (~€15). They also have plenty of non-alcoholic options, which is great. Overall giving 5 (more like 4.5) stars because of the good vibes.

We had such a fantastic time at Boo! Athens. The food was absolutely exceptional, and the cocktails were some of the best we’ve had anywhere in the city.

On top of that, the interior and design are simply stunning. Boo! has such a cool, stylish vibe that instantly transported us – it felt like a little slice of Mykonos in the heart of Athens.

Ola kala as Greek say - the music, the interior, the guys behind the bar, the choice of drinks. But... Here is my humble "but" - no enthusiasm... the barman was soooo bored he didnt even 'rinse' my drink so there were ice and sth else + the drink took the smell of a metal shaker for some reason, so I couldnt finish it.

I visited the Bank Job, after a late dinner. I was there around 12:30am and the place had very few people. After a while the place was packed, so it is an after bar. They have a good variety of drinks and at the time of my visit the music was 80's and 90's disco style, so many people felt like dancing, which I liked. The atmosphere is not something special, but the music brings this place to life.

Nestled atop the elegant Hilton Athens, Galaxy Restaurant & Bar is a must-visit for anyone seeking an exquisite dining and drinking experience. This rooftop gem offers a stunning panorama of Athens, from the iconic Acropolis to the serene Saronic Gulf. The menu features dishes crafted with fresh local ingredients that highlight vibrant flavors, making it perfect for both romantic dinners and lively gatherings with friends.
It is a hotel bar restaurant which has a spectacular and panoramic view of Athens, including the Parthenon and mount Lycabettus (and the what I like to call them favelas of Pangrati and Vyronas). The prices are not following the greek standards but I merely accept this due to the stature of this hotel. It is absolutely reasonable to presume that they want to keep a certain level of guests visiting the bar which finds me absolutely fine with it. I highly suggest it for business meetings and quiet moments overlooking the Athenian horizon. Needless to say that the service was outstanding.

Breathtaking view and nice environment. Coffee and cocktails very nice. Prices as expected for a Hilton bar but the service could be seriously improved for a bar like this.... a bit slow and a coaster was on the floor for hours and the staff just walked by it.

It is located on the top floor of the Hilton hotel. The 13th floor! The bar is circled through the windows and the tables are behind of it! Of course the view is great and panoramic but you have to stand up to view the city! If you sit in the outer area the view is magnificent in the first row of tables. You need to arrive early to find a table in the first row, before 21:00pm, or book in advance. The tables for dinner are separated and is advised to book in advance to avoid a table in the inner area. The prices are ridiculous high and I really can not see the reason why! There are so many nicer places in the city with similar view and much more reasonable prices. For example a simple coffee costs there 7.5E, the most expensive in the whole country if not the whole world! A drink can be as little as 14E and you can even order a bottle of champagne for 2000E! The waiters are very polite. perhaps a little more than they should! The music is really nice and relaxing but the dj's spot reminds one of a cheap night club! I can't find a reason to visit again!

Matthew H — Google review
In a shopping arcade in the center of Athens, this bar with retro style is famous as a post office meeting point. An endless list of alcohol grades, a series of alchemy are there, for all tastes and idiosyncrasies. 'Say one word', they have understood a lot and in a few minutes you are in front of a magic mix that will relieve you after a difficult day or will develop an already good on a wonderful night.

Great atmosphere and even greater cocktails! They do the classics in the barrels, they prepare everthying, all the syrups and if you ask, they can even create nice cocktails for you if you trust their creativity. Thank you, Tomas & Angelo!

Amazing bar in Athens. Located in the Gazi area. It's a huge bar with several floors. The best one is the floor at the rooftop. It has an amazing view over the city. The cocktails are amazing. The prices were good. And the music was great to dance to.

Lovely service, the people running the place spoke English well enough. The bathrooms were a bit more dirty that they should have been, but overall the aesthetic and environment in the restaurant was very pleasant. The food was good as well.

Very disappointed. The only place that wasn't "privatized" was the second floor, and there was literally no one there. On the other two floors, we were told we couldn't stay because private parties were coming up. I wouldn't recommend the place - what's the point of opening the doors if you can only go to one floor that's not frequented?

Loved it. The roof bar rocks! Fun tunes that span four decades, amazing views, nice vibes all around, right in the heart of the square. Glass of wine was €5 . Staff really polite.

Cocktail bar
Eprepe Bar is a charming and trendy establishment located in the emerging district of Kypseli. The bar features an inviting space with a mosaic floor, industrial concrete walls, and sidewalk tables that create a laid-back neighborhood atmosphere. It serves as a Greek gastro-kafeneio and natural wine bar, offering an array of classic cocktails, exclusively natural wines, and lesser-known spirits. The menu boasts bistronomic bar snacks and modern dishes to complement the drinks.
I only tried one dish: roasted pumpkin with goat cheese, arugula and an orange gel. It was a very well balanced dish which I thoroughly enjoyed. The music in the bar was very good, the staff was pleasant and I spent a very nice couple of hours without feeling rushed at all. I will be back to try some more dishes from the well-thought out menu.

Great little bar. Excellent cocktails and wine list, with natural wines that are kinda rare to find in Greece. The menu is ever changing and is always creative and extremely tasty. I think it is a must visit for the area ;)
Vagos30f — Google review
Really cool place for drinks and bites. Unfortunately there were only a couple of waiters which made the service look poor and super unorganized, resulting to delays on drink orders, wrong drinks and the like. On that note, would still go back in the hope that they’ll notice that more waiters are required.

Visit Volume 2. Went as I had a pleasant feeling from the previous time.we had almost everything from the menu. The beetroot salad 🥗 was super fresh, fish burger was very tasty. Beautiful design and great atmosphere. Located in an old Athenian district that is becoming again more and more popular and is revitalized ( Kipseli )

Nice to see the whole area vibing like this. Cute but small bar with polite service. My americano cocktail was not the best one I’ve had (it was more on the negroni side), but if ever around the area again wouldn’t mind visiting back.

There is media hype about this place but it doesn't represent reality. Sold as a tapas bar except there are no tapas in sight (they said it was early still). The menu is very limited and the wine list even more so. The service is slow and uninterested. Unlikely to return.

Athens. Super nice establishment. They are open until 4:am. Don't come early. We are here at 9:00 pm on a Saturday night. Psyri is buzzing with people everywhere, but only 6 people here, including us. I bet it is the happing place later. I wish I was younger. As in all of Psyri , there are lots of locals. "The place where the creatures meet." 10:15 pm 25 people.

The BackDoor is a lavish establishment that offer a welcome to all; no matter colour, creed, Identity. I was slightly disappointed that they had ran out of the ingredients to make my favourite, a white russian, but the staff quickly made up for it with what is the best black russian I have ever had. There was live music, one of the only places on a Sunday... And delivered in drag. What more can you want? What a beautiful place to be untill 3(am), good tasting drinks, good music, and a beautiful interior.

I have had the pleasure of visiting this wonderful gay friendly bar last Saturday night and was blown away by the welcoming atmosphere and vibrant energy. From the moment I stepped inside, I felt at ease and among friends. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure that everyone had a great time. The bartenders were knowledgeable and skilled, whipping up delicious drinks with ease. And the decor was stunning, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that made me want to stay for hours. But what really made this bar stand out was its inclusivity and support of the LGBTQ+ community. I felt so grateful to be in a space that celebrated and welcomed everyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. It was truly refreshing to be in a place where people could just be themselves and enjoy a good time. Overall, I highly recommend this bar to anyone looking for a fantastic night out. Whether you're looking for great drinks, amazing atmosphere, or just a friendly crowd, this gay friendly bar has it all. I can't wait to come back and experience it all over again!

Sodade2 is a popular gay bar located in Gazi, known for being the first of its kind in the area. Despite its small size, it has become an institution and tends to get extremely crowded on weekends. The club features two stages with different music genres, offering mainstream pop in the front and trance music at the back. Another notable spot is BEqueer, a newer addition to Gazi's scene that provides a more inclusive and alternative clubbing experience along with radical drag shows.

OMG.Ignore the bad reviews — they don’t reflect the truth. It’s obvious this club is too good, and some competitors can’t stand it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hi Guys I am From Belgium Visiting Athens My Partner And I Had An Amazing experience at Sodade2!Last Night From the security at the door to the toilet attendant, the staff was outstanding. The music was incredible on both dance floors, the bar was fast, and the crowd was full of energy. Even though the club was packed, it stayed fresh and fun all night. One of the best nightlife spots in Athens! We Live The Club 3:30 Am The Club Was Full And look At The Line Up On The Pic To Enter The Club.Congrats To All The Stuff 👏👏👏

This is such a nice,safe and welcoming place unlike the other queer bars in athens.everyone is so nice and respectful towards each other. The bartenders are also very kind, especially nelly. The drinks are amazing and most of all you are free to be yourself, without anyone judging you. I recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Athens!!! Also big props to the guy at the entrance who is super nice and welcoming. Other queer bars should take an example of this bar. The best place in athens to be!!!

incredibly rude bouncer, charged 10€ cover got inside and was the only person in the club. so i turned around and went back to ask for my money back and to return by drink ticket the bouncer gave me a hard time and said “you didn’t ask if it was crowded” sorry do i also have to ask if you’re serving alcohol or if the electricity is on. sleazy move charging ten euro cover for an empty club.

Weird thing: this place has an amazing back room where a woman dj plays some of the best music I've heard in my life, the crowd is nice and everybody is dancing. But apparently they consider as the 'main stage' the front room that plays outdated and boring pop music, full of posers and nobody is dancing. It is even weirder when you see that all the gay clubs in Athens play the same tacky pop music, so what really makes this place special is the back room. The place needs to be updated and realise that gay clubbing is not that anymore. You have a mediocre bar at the front and the real club is at the back, underrated and hidden.
Josh H — Google review
There are some very weird reviews about this place, and frankly I have no idea why. I went last night around 12:15, and had an absolutely amazing time! The staff were all very friendly and super attentive - I didn't wait more than 2 or 3 minutes to be served by the bartender. The DJ was PHENOMENAL, and knew exactly what songs to play and when. The manager was also very friendly, and made sure we felt safe. The clientele was super varied, with people from all over the world coming to join. Cover is €20, and was very easy to get in. This was on a Thursday night, so I can't imagine how great it must be on the weekend proper. Sodade2 is absolutely the place to be for a great drink, good atmosphere, and an solid dance. Thank you to everyone who helped me make my night amazing. Can't wait to come back!

Visiting here from US. Was pretty pumped up to come here first before visiting all the other bars because this one had the best rating. But to be honest, I don't know what other people are giving 5 stars because this was a joke of an establishment. The bouncer tonight was rude & looked miserable as I opened the door. When walking in, a big question mark. The "club" is literally the size of my kitchen. It's I wanna say 800sq feet at most. I don't know how they operate on a Saturday or Friday given a Sunday was somewhat filled. I was very disappointed. Second, the law here from what I read is no cigarettes or smoking in any bar. It was like hot boxing cigarettes in here. My clothes reaked by the end of the night. Huge turnoff. People doing coke right out on the pathetic dance floor , no big deal. The bartender was nice, however what's with using a measurer? It's a club. Measuring your shot in a drink is comical. We're not at a 5 star restaurant. We're in a sleezy club. No need to measure every drop that goes into your drink. Especially being a gay bar, fill that cup up. The dj tonight had the WORST transition in songs. Like 10 seconds it could be Britney, then you go to disco music right after. Re-evaluation of a nightly DJ is needed. Overall, I would not recommend.

Every second person smokes inside, that's absolutely horrible. The club does nothing with that (that's funny to read old responses of the club here that comments on smoking "taken very seriously"). Bouncer at the door and lady at a cocktail bar are absolutely unfriendly and somewhat rude. First hour dj was randomly changing music every 20 seconds, that was akward.

K8 Point Restaurant Cocktail Bar, perched atop the Herodion Hotel, offers an unforgettable experience with stunning views of the Acropolis. This vibrant venue features a bar nestled between a cozy lounge and dining area, providing guests with breathtaking sights of the Parthenon while enjoying expertly crafted cocktails. A unique highlight is their delightful pairing of complimentary tapas with each drink; for instance, you can savor handmade loukoumades alongside a mastic-flavored Greek cocktail.
Had been here because of a exclusive event. Amazing ambience setup with live music. Happened to also meet ibmring338 performer and their chair person Dimios (AKA Benjammin) who was fabulous in this magic tricks. Loved the entire time spent there. This place also had a DJ which accepted music requests.

I was there for the anniversary of a company where I was invited and it was amazing! The staff were very professional, but also friendly, and that gave the place a really pleasant vibe! The finger food was excellent, I can't even begin to describe it, but the mini pies and the shrimps were amazing, although I didn't taste a single thing I didn't like. The drinks were great, not too watered down, just like they should be. It's location is very convenient, you can reach it easily using the subway and walking a very short distance. The only downside was that the music was too loud, because the way the structure is made it reverberates a lot and the speakers were set in a very high volume. Because of that, it was unpleasant to stay inside for too long. It wasn't even that crowded, but for some reason we had to yell to communicate and even there we weren't sure what one said to another. If the music volume had been more appropriate I'd give 5 stars without a second thought!

It's a nice place but just an appetizer took so long to receive then I didnt receive my full order. Received my meatballs with no bread as I requested. While I waited for my bread and some parmesan cheese, meatballs got cold. Then they allowed other guest kids to run all over the restaurant. I definitely would not recommend or come back.
