"Much like the city itself, the best bars in Athens can't be defined. This is a place where you'll find café-bars, dive bars, and after-hours bars wedged side-by-side with wine bars, jazz bars, whisky bars, spritz bars, beer bars, and cutting-edge cocktail bars. There are bars on every street corner, and splayed out across every square in Athens-and more beyond. High up on rooftops, tucked away in secret courtyards, hiding in former warehouses, and discovered on the most nondescript of small streets-there are also plenty of bars that you won't find at all, unless you know where you're going."
"Some are old-school, serving the classics that we've known and loved for centuries; some take well-known favorites and turn them on their head; and others still showcase the city's creativity with imaginative flair in home-grown creations that you won't find anywhere else in the world."
Athens hosts an expansive and varied bar landscape featuring café-bars, dive bars, after-hours venues, wine and jazz bars, whisky and spritz bars, beer bars, and inventive cocktail bars. Bars appear on every corner, in squares, on rooftops, in secret courtyards, old warehouses, and tucked-away streets. Offerings range from old-school classics to reimagined favorites and unique home-grown creations. The cocktail scene is flourishing, boosted by international recognition and bartenders championing Greek spirits and mixers such as Otto's Vermouth, Puro tsipouro, Kernel's Mahlepi, and Three Cents tonics. Nightlife peaks late, often starting after midnight, with many top venues listed among the best in the world.
