Get
ready
for
an
ode
to
Athens’
unsung
cocktail
hotspot.
Into
unique
cocktails?
Tired
of
the
hype
of
the
neighboring
“best”
that
serve
overpriced
swill
surrounded
by
tourists?
Then
Stray
In
Athens
is
a
MUST
visit.
Avantgarde
decor
and
unmistakably
trendy,
but
it’s
also
not
trying
TOO
hard,
thanks
to
the
“too
cool
for
school”
staff
and
unique
drink
combos.
The
“Hot
List”
cocktails
are
only
available
October-May
and
damn
are
they
good.
The
“Burn
My
Shadow”
is
particularly
unique—buttery
rum
and
caramel
tea
with
walnut
bitters
that
make
it
feel
like
you’re
eating
the
world’s
best
chocolate
bar,
melted
and
poured
just
for
you
🥃
🎵
The
music
is
loud
but
not
too
loud.
The
bartenders
are
friendly
but
distant.
The
lighting
is
sexy
but
everything
is
still
visible.
The
art
is
street
but
curated.
Everthing
about
this
place
is
everything
Noel
and
the
surrounding
hoity-toity
bars
are
not;
a
fun,
unpretentious
experience
with
actually
delicious
cocktails.
Chase
the
sun
is
officially
my
favorite
cocktail
and
all
of
Athens.
And
while
Les
Djinns
was
not
my
thing,
it
was
entirely
because
of
the
bitters,
and
not
because
there
was
anything
wrong
with
a
drink.
And
my
wife
completely
loved
it.
When
I
heard
that
Chase
the
Sun
wouldn’t
be
on
the
menu
this
summer,
I
ordered
a
second,
without
hesitation.
The
Love
Rehab,
a
winter
menu
best
seller,
is
“wow.”
Truly
unexpected—a
spicy,
complex,
umami
dream
of
strawberry
and
balsamic
with
chili
and
mmmmm.
Bartender
Giorgos
is
honest,
unpolished,
and
damn
good
at
his
job.
He
stands
by
every
drink
on
the
menu
because
each
were
created
with
care.
Come
for
a
drink,
stay
for
the
night.
Trust
me
on
this
one
😏
♿️
Outside
tables
are
high
but
not
too
high.
Bartender
will
come
outside
to
serve
you.
Bathroom
is
downstairs
and
not
well
lit.
Two
steps
to
get
inside.
Lighting
is
dim
overall.
Music
is
medium
volume
outside.
They
DO
offer
virgin
non-alcohol
cocktails
