Περιμέναμε δέκα λεπτά στην εισοδο και εμφανίστηκαν τρία διαφορετικά άτομα που μας έκαναν την ίδια ακριβως ερώτηση..αν έχουμε κράτηση. Γιατί τέτοια ταλαιπωρία άραγε στον κόσμο..
Kolonaki classic, music for all tastes, variety of people in all terms.
Music wise, I would like few more music anthems form past ages, more Rock & Roll, more 90s and 00s House and R&B, more 70s and 80s Disco!
The drinks are expensive, 7 euro for a simple beer is too much... But the overall experience was great!

The absolute best place to go if you like a good drink, a cool atmosphere, and jazz music. Highly recommended!
Popcorn not quite to my taste but music definitely is! Cosy place with good music
Came here twice it was so good! Secluded area, amazing view, variety of drink choices (loved the loose leaf tea), food was amazing especially the fries and pancakes! Good veggie options. Staff is extremely friendly and happy and attentive. After 6pm there is a DJ that plays really good house music, highly recommend for anyone as it is also family/old people friendly!
Cozy beautiful cafe in a quiet pedestrian street in the middle of Athens. Beautiful ambiance,with chill jazz music,. just the perfect place to have a cup of coffee, meet a friend or read a book. Friendly staff
Food was ok but the service not so good. What I found disrespectful was that when I paid the bill for the party of people I invited and the bill was a good amount of money, I left a tip for 5% as I wasn’t that satisfied and the waitress had the audacity to tell me that I had to leave a tip of 10%. This is the first time something like this is happening to me and I have been to so many places all over the world. Also, although we told them that we needed a table for 10 when we called for the reservation, initially they squeezed us in a table for 6. If they want to keep their good reputation they have to be more careful.
The coolest bar I’ve been to in years. The DJ killed, the cocktails killed, this place must be visited.
A very beautiful place. A bit hard to find. There are a lot of tables outside and a few inside. The barista is very kind and helpful. The vibe is perfect and cozy. There is calm music and the place is quiet. The indoor has plants and books in it, which adds to the calm and cozy vibe. Speaking of drinks there are many to choose from. We ordered a Greek coffee and it was very good. When it comes to food there aren't many. We ordered a chocolate muffin and it was delicious.
Although the atmosphere is great and the whiskey collection is vast ,they will quite possibly ask you to leave, not so kindly, after two hours. The way we were treated after 90 minutes of sitting was actually quite frankly rude.
An excellent place to read a book, gather with friends, or just drink a coffee. Excellent ambience, jazz music, and very aesthetic to take pictures to be honest.
The waiters and bartender are incredibly friendly! Always with a smile. If I could take this place home with me I would. ✨

best times ever. greatest music. our home. for ever. ♥️💪🏻
Great music!
Great team running the place!
Tight seating which is a feature here. Pleasant drinks with rare choices (loved the chartreuse). A tad on the expensive side though but remember this is Kolonaki.
Love the no smoking indoors rule.
Absolutely recommended!

Lovely little roof top bar with some surprisingly amazing and unexpected views of the acropolis. The snacks with the cocktails were abundant and the drinks themselves very, very good. Appreciate any place that sits you down with some water immediately (something we took for granted as always being the case in Athens but it wasn't!). I really liked that this place was kind of hidden away, it felt like a special little secret that we got to experience in a short visit to the city. Drinks were perhaps steeper in price than we experienced elsewhere (only slightly) but I think the experience made up for it.
Dharma in Kolonaki is a stylish all-day bar and restaurant, perfect for any occasion. The menu is diverse and delicious, with standout dishes for brunch, lunch, and dinner. The cocktails are creative and well-crafted, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Whether for a casual coffee or evening drinks, Dharma’s inviting atmosphere and great location make it a top spot in Athens.
Cool rooftop cocktail bar with awesome views of the Acropolis. Good music playing and good service. The barmaid definitely knows how to make cocktails. The only downside is that you pay top tourist prices as everywhere else with a view.
Young entrepreneurs, doing great for the love and the vibe! Please make sure to tip 🛜✨
My friend and I stopped for a drink after dinner, thinking it was a live music jazz bar. This is not the case, it is a Jazz themed bar. Very cozy, heavily decorated in theme, and music is not too loud at all. We had a lovely time enjoying our cocktails, they only serve prohibition era drinks which is very interesting. They have an extensive whiskey menu. Please come here for a chill time, the staff are so friendly.
Spent every single night here during our trip to Athens — the ambience is amazing, the staff are so kind and friendly (we even said a sweet goodbye on our last night) Must visit!!!
A fabulous eclectic and cool mix of people just loved it our favourite bar 💕💕👏👏👏
Lovely place and wonderful crew. Best shots in Athens, perfect to chill out with friends…
We had brunch, it was like a 6/10 for the poached eggs with salmon, nothing special in taste.
The staff are super nice and they keep on refilling your water glass.
The place is also in a very strategic location with a good rooftop view of the Acropolis

Nice little bar in the city centre of Athens. We drank a homemade lemonade and a bear. We received some snacks and had a nice time. The prices are slightly higher than in comparable bars within the area but it is okey.
Great place to enjoy a perfect cocktail or a good beer. Super sweet friendly service at least some greeek smile 😂 you dont see it often in athens
In jazz in jazz bar in Athens, the music swirls through the smoky air, each note rich with history . The atmosphere is intimate and electric, as the jazz music channels the spirit of jazz—raw, passionate, and endlessly creative. It's a sanctuary where tradition meets innovation, and every night is a conversation between the past and present. This Athens jazz bar is more than a bar—it's a living, breathing celebration of jazz, where the music’s timeless allure takes center stage with the companionship of a great selection of spirits !!
Stop in for some takeaway drinks. And they didn't disappoint. The atmosphere was great, a perfect dive bar with great music. I could have spent hours there. I will be back before I leave
The nightlife in Athens is pretty average, but this place was absolutely fantastic. We had a blast as a group of Dutch tourists. Would recommendo!
WHAT A GEM OF A FIND IN ATHENS! While Athens has many a rooftop bar, Couleur Locale exceeded expectations and was by far the best rooftop patio we visited. Direct views of the Acropolis, the atmosphere could not be more perfect. The music was boppin, the drinks were quick, the staff were friendly and attentive and appreciated our attempts at Greek! To top it all off, the food was absolutely fabulous and we ordered 5 dishes to share bc we couldn’t decide. Best Greek salad I’ve had in Greece.
Couleur Locale is a must-visit rooftop bar in Athens with an amazing view of the Acropolis. We enjoyed drinks at sunset, and the experience was unforgettable. The vibrant atmosphere, combined with the stunning panorama, created a perfect setting for a relaxing evening. Highly recommend Couleur Locale for anyone looking to unwind with spectacular views and great drinks!
Beautiful bar to watch the world go by in. My frozen strawberry daiquiri was lovely. Tasty popcorn to go with your drinks too!
Highly recommend this place.
Highly recommend this place.
This place manifsests why Greece has been struck with an economic crisis in 2008.
Nice if you are greek (and rich?) stay away as tourist (except you want to pay 200 euro for average champagne)

Hardcore venue for hardcore ravers.
Basically Athens’s version of DC10 in Ibiza.
Been 3x early (07:00) Sunday mornings after clubbing - always wicked music, safe crowd, amazing atmos.
Think it shuts when everybody goes home ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Amazing rooftop bar in Athens, we arrived early to watch the sunset over the acropolis. Really cool vibe, laid back & the staff were really friendly. The view is stunning and the food and drink prices were reasonable considering the location & view. The veggie burger perfect with a really large portion of fries (bargin for €13). Gets very busy later on with more of a pre-club vibe. Highly Recommended.
Athens has so much more to offer
Great view, service could be improved with less long waits. Food is very tasty. Offers non alcoholic drinks. Always music on, sometimes you can’t even speak.
Lovely rooftop with great views. I had a nice breakfast and coffee on the rooftop! The breakfast/brunch menu was interesting and reasonably priced. Service was unfortunately pretty unfriendly.
Great place awesome view the best in Athens! I love this roof because you can combine a calm and cool place to work during the morning with the best coffee and brunches and of course the night you can enjoy some beats live from a dj set and remember you can’t miss that one! ✌🏽
Colour Local in Athens offers an enchanting rooftop bar experience with a distinct bohemian atmosphere. The panoramic views of the Acropolis are truly mesmerizing, adding a touch of historic charm to your visit. The bar features modern music that sets a lively yet relaxed ambiance, perfect for unwinding. The food is delightful, with a variety of tasty options to satisfy diverse palates. Overall, it's a must-visit spot in Athens, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable evening out.

Nice venue and drinks. The barman is cool and down to earth. Did not pay hence I may not comment on this aspect. High end location. Being in my 60s and an old rocker not the right person to comment on musical choices of DJ. In any case, a bit of Led Zeppelin, Purple or Black Sabbath, even Naxatras or Black Country Communion, would have been appreciated, but I reiterate I am a coffin-dodger, living in the past . You simply cannot win them all!
Lovely cafe , well decorated , interesting furnishing and the decor is eye catching.
Staff very friendly and took the initiative in terms of service & providing recommendations. Also checked in on me asking if everything was ok.
Coffee was tasty and not too sweet.
10/10 would recommend

The rooftop bar is very pretty and has a nice view on central Athens. Unfortunately, when we had breakfast there in the morning, the service was not very friendly and quite slow. The food was tasty but not a lot and rather expensive. I recommend to go there for a drink and enjoy the great view and good atmosphere.
Couldn’t get in as their non existent web site didn’t alert us to needing a reservation, it was super packed anyway and not in a good way. I didn’t mind though as we found many other awesome spots. Just more of a heads up to you to get a reservation if you’re going.
We were a group of 10 friends and the owner's mother made sure we had the best time ever!
The food is ok, too expensive for athens and the variety is mostly vegetarian. The hoghlight of the bar is the rooftop, where you can see the acropolis at night, please go!
From the service to the food to the crowd … overrated snd disappointing
The most disappointing part is the good quality steak with cumin sauce??? That was our surprise!? U do not put cumin on any kind of steak 😱 the guy serving us was on another planet. Made many mistakes in our order .. and made us at the end pay for his mistake. Drinks were overpriced too. We ordered margaritas at the end, waiter got us a pizza margarita 🤦🏻♀️

Its rainy day, we are onlyones in , asked that we come to drink 1 drink . 10€ entry with 1 free drink is normal. They directed us to wet corner table with no chairs. Water was dripping throught the roof on top of us. Asked if we could sit for just one drink as the bar is empty but they didnt let us. Dont come if not staying untill 5 and reserving a table.
Packed place. Overcrowded. Smoking inside makes it uncomfortable. Still a good dark after hours place to burn the residue from partying.
I go there just for the sweets, especially the lemon cake. But, the coffee is good and there is a number of great choises for drinks and cocktails. It is likely to prefer the tables on the street but the interior is just amazing especially if you a lover of music like jazz. That's my feeling. All the shop in the area have a distinctive aura that reflects to the atmosphere and this includes Verve. The service is fast and polite but it can improve. I prefer it everytime I am in the area.
The bar is a hidden gem; all you can need after sightseeing in Athens!
My companie was inside of the club and they didn’t allow us to go inside
Nice place, courteous service, good vibes!!
Amazing place for people like us living in Athens. If you're in search of a spirited escape to the vibrant heart of Greece right in the heart of the city, look no further than Rook Club. This charming club encapsulates the essence of Greek music, creating an unforgettable experience that's as lively as a Greek festival.
No food. But many cocktail’s to choose from… Just chill for an hour or two! Soft music in the background. People walking up and down the road getting on with life but I’m just watching life go by with a Long Island in my hand eating popcorn. Totally relaxed here.
I haven’t tried the milkshakes or hot chocolate - but it’s tempting.

Was dancing all night!
The N1 place for many activities
Staff is the best one.
Drinks and service is great.
On the expensive side of Athens bars but I liked it much more than other places
Don’t expect for good food though. Portions are so so. Still this place matches the expectations.

The hot spot of Athens for listening rock music. On Saturdays 17:00-21:00 fits best for ages around 38 and above. After 23:00, it is best for ages like 16-33! Old time classic place!! The photo is during Xmas ( the decoration is not like depicted before & after Xmas)
What can I say😮 the place was beautiful, the food amazing and the vibes one of a kind. No words can describe the feelings you receive from this place.Top😍🙌🏽
We stumbled upon this pub looking for takeaway cocktails and ended up staying for 3 rounds. The atmosphere was so attractive with great music and the bartender treated us like stars. The cocktails were made with lots of love and flair. The cocktail menu was impressive and unique and prices were reasonable. We really wanted to come back but we didn't have another night to spare. This pub made me wish I was a local. 100% recommend and can't wait for another night our next visit to Athens. Much love to the bass-playing, cocktail slinging bartender!
REAL fun is here.
Excellent club‼️the atmosphere of the place exudes summer, fast service perfect staff cheerful,
Very polite, loud music 🎵Very beautiful club, lively!! The decoration makes you feel like you are on an island🏝
Every summer it becomes my hangout and I miss it in winter 👏👏

Its a public rooftop bar with a stunning view over Athen. The cocktails were not my favorites but the view compansates that 100%
Stopped for a drink in the gorgeous shaded street. Lovely waitress and top notch drinks! Definitely coming back.
They would not let us in because we were wearing shorts despite 3 gentleman getting let in right before us wearing the exact same type of clothing. I kindly pointed out that the bouncer let in other men wearing shorts to which he responded “these are not shorts to me”. ::rolls eyes::
Frozen beer excellent service and prices 😁
Dark techno club
Best place for an after party in Athens
Paid entrance but worthy
I recommend for the music ambiance etc … it’s in a quiet area in Athens and in a semi basement

The cafe was not very crowded. Three companies including us. Order was placed at 10:45. Coffees, cheesecake and eggs Benedict. Coffees came at 11:00. At 11:35 we had to remind the waiter about the cheesecake and the eggs, which were apparently forgotten. Finally the eggs Benedict arrived at 11:50, only to realize they were just boild eggs cut in half. Total disappointment...
This is a super cute coffee bar. I ordered a double espresso and it was a good midday pick me up.
My favorite part was the classical music they had playing throughout. This gives it the warm and cozy feeling of home.

Good place underground, available when needed. The music is great for people who likes late time clubbing
Nice, clean drinks!!! Great music!!!
Beautiful place but for tourists and Greek people for big packets
Amazing place !! Very good staff and excellent cocktails, if I come back to Greece, I will come again for sure. Highly recommended.
I used to really enjoy this place but on my recent visit I found the place ridiculously overcrowded .... the music lacking the rock and roll vibe that I use to love & made me want to stay until the wee morning hours ... and the food disappointing! 🤔🙃🤔
The prices are on the high side but the bar service quite nice and professional.

The service is great! The atmosphere is cozy and friendly. You have many options in the menu. Cocktails are amazing there and beers too. Definitely worth a visit 👍🏼
Delicious, generous, and original cocktails in a cool and cozy atmosphere, not too expensive!
The barmaid and owner were very nice and friendly :)
We found this bar by chance on our last evening in Athens, it was the perfect experience to end our holidays!! ❤️

Nice coffee, friendly staff, 4 euro if you want water (Aqua di panna) in addition to your coffee. They always offer thst in order that you spent it. Not nice guys. Ceasar salad was great though!
Nice staff here. But as for the Skullbar terminal or "Thanasis Place" terminal. I don't know. Lost my phone here from Skullbar weird people. Tried return back couple of hours later to still not find my phone and including my keys. Not advisable to visit at all.
Great rooftop with an amazing 360° view and the acropolis right in front of you! The cocktails are lovely and the staff is friendly!
Wonderfull place, great drinks, lovely people. Keep it up!!!
Cool little jazz bar with great music! We sat at the bar to chat up the bartender who has worked there forever and knew every single person on the walls. Love the atmosphere. Would definitely come back.
A very interesting underground bar that mainly plays trance, electronic, house music. I went there at around 5 am and stayed till 10 but thet usually stay open till 15'00. There is a 10€ entrance fee that comes with a drink of your own choice if you want to hang your clothes that's plus 3€ which tbh who charges for a closet?! You can buy beers which I go at a price of 5€ for a can. Best advice I can give is to go there already drunk and you can save some money.
Best bar in a downtown) Phillippe is a friend of mine and he does all for his customers! Really suggest the place
Potentiality of the place. Needs professional service, better exploitation of the facilities.
Quite and cost local place, tasty drinks in good prices. Recommend to hang out for one or two!
If you want to see how the beautiful and important Greeks spend their weekend mornings should come and find out. It is also a nice party place by night. Very crowded.
A very nice place to sit and enjoy downtown vibes. The crew is fast, happy and pleasant, the products are of good quality and the street never ends presenting all kinds of interesting people. Pet friendly 100%, the water for Be arrived before my water!!!
Little bit of Berlin in Athens. Small and friendly club with techno and tech house. Reminded me of Golden Gate, but less hardcore. Only open Sat & Sun mornings till the early afternoon.
Very rude behavior from the staff even before really experiencing the club itself lately. To be updated if something changes. The only "after" club of Athens. Nothing more. Just abusing the fact of being the only one (after). Better to be avoided.
Had a fantastic simple pesto last night for dinner. The hostess' were both super friendly also. The gin was a little pricey. Overall not a bad place to relax
A very cozy coffee bar, which can boast a fantastic ambience warmly decorated. Extremely polite and smiling staff, willing to service. Great cocktails, tasteful plates and chilling music selections. WiFi. Cards accepted. A must-visit venue.
Little gem. Visited a few times while staying in Monastiraki. The menu on view is basic but you can order whatever variations you fancy and they'll rustle it up. Food is freshly cooked and tastes divine. I ordered greek yoghurt and nuts for breakfast they had no nuts and offered fruit instead... it was awesome!! Definitely the nicest yoghurt I've ever tasted, smothered in local honey. The staff are so friendly, really chill laid back ambience while attentive. One place you'll go back to again and again. Loved the canine company of one of the staff members too!!
Whether you visit Rock&Roll Athens for dancing, drinking or eating , it is a great place to have a great time! Skoulas as chef is making art, not food!
Great bar/club in the heart of Athens. Definitely skews to the local crowd and mixes foreign and Greek music. Great prices on bottles of alcohol and a guarantee of a really fun night.
