    Restaurant bar place, pretty ambiance. We had breakfast was good. Although the amount of food not much in comparison to the price. I liked the decor. Was served by Salvador who was excellent. Quick and efficient Although it was Sunday and the place is full. The orange juice was 👌🏼 . Thanks Salvador

    Pros: Right in the city with a view of the Acropolis. Good drinks, ambiance aesthetically pleasing, waitstaff was very welcoming and service was quick. Cons: You were approached several times by roaming hash rebels, Stiazlers and tramps and asked for money. It was very touristy and accordingly expensive.

    What a place to spend time in. We had a few hours in Athens before we took our flight so went to this place and ordered drinks. All the drinks were really good and the vibe of the place was amazing as well. Staff was super friendly and we liked our time there

    Pretty awesome original cocktails. I didn't have the heart to tell them that a twist of lime does not go in a Dirty Martini. However, I still love this place and I'll keep going back.

    A great outdoor patio space with a great vibe. The cocktails are excellent and the food is good too. It is the perfect place to have coffee, drinks or get a casual bite solo or with friends with decent service. Take an indulgence and enjoy a Star Martini! It is the sweet trendy cocktail you need in your life right now.

    Amazing place to stop for a cocktail. Everything was great: the cocktail, the service and the place. I didn't regret at all leaving 10+ Euro for a cocktail there.

    Was a very nice place. Outdoor seating with red bench seats and decor to really feel like in the Mediterranean atmosphere. I had the omelette with Salami, and Gouda cheese, and my wife had the scrambled eggs with sausage, cherry tomatoes and feta cheese. We also had coffee and cherry cheesecake. Everything including the service was incredible. The price was amazing as we spent only about 45 euro on everything.

    Great vibe and shady escape just metres from bustling centre, markets, shopping drag and Monastiraki. Really friendly waiters. Loved the decor. I only had refreshments, but can attest to a perfect frappe!

  • 2/5 M L. 5 months ago on Google • 42 reviews
    Unfortunately, my experience at this bar was by far the worst in Athens. The service was extremely slow and inefficient, making the wait for any order feel endless. Moreover, the drinks that eventually arrived were of poor quality, failing to meet expectations. The lack of attention from the waiter (the waitress was trying) and the unsatisfactory quality of the drinks really diminished the overall experience. And the bloody Mary, oh please, terrible.

    Unique atmosphere combined with a wide variety of cocktails (the Aegean fin n tonic is a delicatessen) and excellent service. You definitely should come here.

  • 5/5 Constantine K. 3 months ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    I went for drinks so I grabbed a seat at the bar inside and I can't say about the food, but the ambience in Barrus is unique. Good drinks, great service, tasteful decoration, cozy atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Xavier D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for drinks and appetizers. People watching was great and they've done great job creating a welcoming, quaint environment. The Staff were kind and welcoming.

  • 4/5 ΦΩΤΕΙΝΗ �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is worth trying its hot or cold white chocolate, the service staff wears its masks except for the young existence that served us. Next time there will be a polite rebuke ... as with the health of others we do not wear the worm mask 💣😷 (Original) Αξίζει να δοκιμάσετε ζέστη ή κρύα τη λευκη σοκολάτα του, το προσωπικό του σέρβις φορά τις μάσκες του πλην της νεαρας υπάρξεως που μας εξυπηρέτησε. Την επόμενη φορά θα υπάρξει ευγενική επίπληξη...καθώς με την υγεία άλλων δεν φοράμε την μάσκα σκουλήκια 💣😷

    Nice (non-standard) cocktails on a cool and spacious terrace in the middle of Athens. Service was somewhat slow (receiving the menu and bill)

  • 5/5 Toya 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing vibe and ambiance. The staff was amazing and friendly. We had a great time every night we went. I would highly recommend on a trip to Greece for a night out.

    Great atmosphere, sit down after sunset, enjoy the music, the view of Akropolis and some cocktails

  • 4/5 Linda Irene S. 2 years ago on Google
    A bit overpriced, and I really don't like it when you can't order all the drinks on the well-used menu. When we add slow service, I can't rate this place any better. But of course, excellent location, and having bar-snack in a sealed cup kicks this place up to 4 stars!

    (Translated by Google) Nice cafe with delicacies on Aiolou Street. The decoration is neat classic style with wood and crystals. Its name is inspired by the elephant in Latin. The coffee is just good. The delicacies made with creative mediocrity. The service suffers in speed and courtesy. Normal prices. Suitable for children because of Peace Square right next door. (Original) Ωραίο καφέ με εδέσματα στην οδό Αιόλου. Η διακόσμηση προσεγμένη κλασικού στυλ με ξύλο και κρύσταλλα. Το όνομα του εμπνευσμένο από τον ελέφαντα στα λατινικά. Ο καφές απλά καλός. Τα εδέσματα εκτελεσμένα με δημιουργική μετριότητα. Η εξυπηρέτηση πάσχει σε ταχύτητα και ευγένεια. Τιμές κανονικές. Κατάλληλο για παιδιά λόγω της πλατείας Ειρήνης ακριβώς δίπλα.

    Very nice place with an amazing terrace! But TERRIBLE service. We got our first drink very fast but after it was impossible to get another We asked 4 times for a menu to a different waitresses and it never came !

  • 4/5 Patricia T. 2 years ago on Google
    What a fantastic place to pause for a caffè, refreshment or cocktail after a day of discovering ancient Athens. A perfect spot for people watching and a great cocktail list. The background music was also very good! I had the most delicious mastica based sour cocktail. Sadly I forgot to fotografo the drinks menu so cannot make it at home😩

  • 5/5 Maribel C. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm Guatemalan and like all Guatemalans that do know about good and tasty coffee this was my to-go place for coffee every morning, great and friendly staff (tasty breakfast as well) 10/10.

    Great Bar to sit and enjoy the best gins all over the world. Wonderful gin-selection!!! Also friendly and attentive team!!! You should go there…

  • 3/5 Michael L. 1 year ago on Google
    It's fine, you get comfortable chairs, nice cocktail and free snacks. On the other hand you also have mostly tourist around you, pay a very high price and are actively asked for tip (only time in Athens). I would not go again.

    We LOVED this place! Beautiful (savoury!) cocktails, excellent service, gorgeous interior. Please visit and have a cocktail!

    Sat outside. Not super pricey. Great place to people watch. Staff was very nice. Did not eat, but the food looked great

  • 3/5 Felix G. 1 year ago on Google
    The presentation is outstanding. I am not a fan of the burger, and it’s probably other peoples cup of tea. The burger tastes like raw meat. Under seasoned- probably because I am American, and don’t know much. The Moscow mule has a bit too much ginger.

  • 5/5 Jess B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great experience at Barrus bar. We were served and seated quickly by a friendly member of staff. Gave a good recommendation for wine and drinks were served quickly. Busy location with lots of hustle and bustle but nice to sit outside and take in the views.

    (Translated by Google) Service on the verge of non-existence by the waitresses. For a mask, no reason. No one wears it from the staff (Original) Εξυπηρέτηση στα όρια της ανυπαρξίας απο τις σερβιτόρες. Για μάσκα, ούτε λόγος. Δεν φοράει κανείς απο το προσωπικό

  • 2/5 Eva K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We visited it Sunday afternoon to evening, with a group of 4 people. Unfortunately, the service is non-existent, the staff forgot three times that we had asked for a list and a glass that we asked to change because something had fallen in never came as well as the water jug. Moderate coffee, cocktails satisfactorily without anything terrible. Inside is a beautiful space, outside also mediocre with tables and chairs that do not seem to notice. It is understandable that when a store is full there are delays but in that store we found that the issue was available for service not the impossibility! (Original) Το επισκεφθήκαμε Κυριακή απόγευμα προς βραδακι, παρέα 4 ατόμων. Δυστυχώς, το σέρβις είναι ανυπαρκτο, το προσωπικό ξέχασε τρεις φορές ότι είχαμε ζητήσει κατάλογο ενώ ένα ποτηρι που ζητήσαμε να αλλάξει επειδή είχε πεσει κάτι μέσα δεν ήρθε ποτε όπως επίσης και η κανάτα νερού. Καφές μέτριος, κοκτέιλ ικανοποιητικά χωρίς κάτι τρομερό. Μέσα είναι όμορφος χώρος, έξω επίσης μέτριος με τραπέζια και καρέκλες που φαίνεται ότι δεν τα προσέχουν. Κατανοητό ότι όταν ένα μαγαζί είναι γεμάτο υπάρχουν καθυστερήσεις αλλά στο συγκεκριμένο μαγαζί εντοπίσαμε ότι το θέμα ήταν στη διάθεσή εξυπηρέτησης όχι στη μη δυνατότητα!

  • 4/5 Reviewer 5 years ago on Google
    Fabulous coffee, fabulous wine, meat and cheese platter needs more variety and filling out for the price you pay but ok.. Upstairs is a hidden little gem, and if you happen to be up there when nobody is smoking it is wonderful! The music is great and not too intrusive to the ears too, so you can have a nice easy conversation without being ‘ aurally abused’. Really lovely. Staff are great too :)

  • 4/5 Allan Christopher Pin D. 3 years ago on Google
    CONCLUSION: swank drinking spot. LOCATION: on a pedestrianised street, so options to sit outside on stools or tables. AMBIANCE: it’s a gorgeous setup inside, and lovely to have the outside seating. Some excellent tunes being pump out. PRODUCT: drinks were very exotic and well presented.... PRICE:...they just weren’t cheap. SERVICE: efficient and friendly. A selection of nuts and bottle of tap water served with the drinks.
