    Never faced this. A number of “arrogant bad guys” on the door, very selective door policy completely out of line with human rights. They don’t have any visible rules about this, first ask you to enter (proppers on the street) and than decide to refuse. Was it full? No, directly after this people where allowed to enter. It seems they prefer to welcome local people: young girls and older men. If we would have been rude, noisy, drunk or inappropriately dressed I can understand but this all was not the case. Unacceptable behavior, a shame for Greek hospitality, zero stars!

    Place was empty and they gave me a seat at the end of the street, then waiter came with my water, then waited 15 minutes for a menu and to take my order and no one ended coming so got up and left.....best seats are always as they state reserved but with no signs stating that....l only come to Greece every few years but the staff need to be more attentive on their service, if l wanted water only could go to kiosk.

    I like the place. Very beautiful. Good wine list, good food (and large portions). Hood prices. Friendly service. Just one thing: I expect from a wine restaurant that they know what orange wine is.

    Terrible cooked food. After being asked how i would like my ordered tuna fillet cooked, to which i replied “medium rare”.... the photo resembling more like leather is how it turned up. Certainly not medium/rare tuna... After clearing away the plate, customer service was non existent and never asked if anything else was required, desserts/drinks... chef is unable to cook and customer service is non existent. Please spend your money in an establishment that deserves it.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful environment, generally Agios Minas has a beautiful environment. Very expensive shop though. 7 euros for a glass of wine, 9 euros for a cocktail daisy. We also waited 1 hour for a souffle that they obviously forgot (Original) Ομορφο περιβάλλον, γενικά η Αγίου Μηνά έχει όμορφο περιβάλλον. Πολύ ακριβό μαγαζι όμως. 7 ευρώ ένα ποτήρι κρασί, 9 ευρώ η μαργαρίτα κοκτέιλ. Επίσης περιμέναμε 1 ώρα για ένα σουφλέ που προφανώς το ξέχασαν

    If you want a drink in a quiet but lively street away from the hustle and bustle, this place is a great choice! We drank freddo and sometimes cocktails at the place we went to a few times. All were very tasty.

    Amazing club.. Whoever visits Thessaloniki should go.. Manthos at the front door has an amazing vibe as a host and the personnel is always kind and helpful. The drinks are perfect and the music tempts you to dance and party all night long

    Very beautiful restaurant with tables on the side of a nice street, calm enough to enjoy your meal and conversation. As we were about to leave, the waitress offered us Wine on the house!

    Visiting Thessaloniki should also have a glass of wine in Chilai as long as you like neat, stylish and good atmosphere.

    One of the Best Club experience in Thessaloniki... And there is a lot of nice club's in Thessaloniki! Recommend

  • 5/5 Michaela K. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely a perfect place to be, a visit is a must when visiting Thessaloniki downtown! You can enjoy your drink together with shrimps or a tagliata ( highly recommend )! For a light menu a choice of cheeses is just great. The environment is perfect, the music amazing. Well done and keep up the great job!🧿

  • 5/5 Eunice 10 months ago on Google
    The food is mainly Italian. Is one of the best Italian restaurants I been. The cocktails are really good too. Service wise is 5*. I totally recommend it. Kudos

  • 1/5 Em M. 4 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately, after several nice times in this bar, yesterday was a real disappointment. The girl in front offered us a table inside, and then the rude young man at the door refused us without even looking at us. I was with my daughters and we wanted to have a drink for an hour and move on, but obviously that rude young man at the door didn't like us. You definitely rank first for rudeness & congratulations on the selection of workers..it says a lot about the business...

    The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was lovely with nice music playing in the background. Service wasn't excellent but also wasn't bad.

  • 5/5 Elida G. K. 3 months ago on Google New
    I loved this place! The atmosphere is amazing, good music, polite staff, service is top-notch. We went in for drinks and also to grab a bite. They have a very nice selection of drinks, and the food was fresh and very tasty too. I totally recommend and will be visiting again!

  • 5/5 Βαλάντης �. 4 months ago on Google
    Chilai is our usual place to go. The mix between Greek and international music is great and people are in a good mood there.

    (Translated by Google) Very beautiful and stylish place (Original) Πολύ όμορφος και στυλάτος χώρος

  • 4/5 Greg C. 4 years ago on Google
    Great crowd, and decent music. Very crowded, but you get that with any popular bar. Very good measures with the cocktails, so overall a great place.

  • 4/5 Just P. 4 years ago on Google
    Went there for a birthday party. I was impressed by the design of the inside, really fascinating for a night out, perfect atmosphere also for formal date, perfect to enjoy with friends! Stunning quality of alcohol and cocktails, very well done Negroni 😉 Worth definetly a visit when you are in Thessaloniki !

  • 5/5 Tatu C. 5 years ago on Google
    Very nice place, great staff and lovely aymosphere.

  • 4/5 Vladimir Z. 6 years ago on Google
    Prices were a bit higher than what I expected (especially for cocktails and considering the size of the pizza) but the placed looked fantastic, it had a great atmosphere and the music was perfect (foreign pop and rnb). Cheese platter was really good as well as their bruschette.

  • 5/5 Devant P. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Bar S. 1 year ago on Google
    I know that this place is mostly known for it's alcohol and nightlife, but they have amazing brunch you can't miss out on! My friend and I visited two months ago, we randomly chose this place out of other restaurants I passed by and thought were cool. It was our last morning in Thessaloniki and their breakfast made it amazing! We took the eggs Benedict and the pancakes. The staff were nice and the place is fancy and beautiful. Check it out, even in the morning!

  • 5/5 stylianos d. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A unique place even for early in the morning with an amazing brunch ... Perfect flavors impeccable service at very reasonable prices for the quality it offers. At a very short distance there are many organized parking points (Original) Ενας μοναδικος χωρος ακομα κ για νωρις το πρωι με ενα καταπληκτικό brunch... Τελειες γευσεις άψογο σερβις σε πολυ λογικές τιμές για την ποιότητα που προσφέρει. Σε πολυ μικρη αποσταση υπαρχουν πληθος οργανωμένων σημείων σταθμευσης

  • 5/5 Ioannis Z. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Quite a large wine list with affordable prices (Original) Αρκετά μεγάλη wine list με προσιτές τιμές

  • 5/5 Χριστίνα �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A very beautiful and neat shop with excellent decoration in the city center. There is a great variety in the wine cellar they have as well as an extremely unique menu. As for the behavior of the staff it is fast impeccable and very professional. (Original) Ένα πολύ όμορφο και προσεγμένο μαγαζί με εξαιρετική διακόσμηση στο κέντρο της πόλης. Υπάρχει μεγάλη ποικιλία στη καβα που διαθέτουν καθώς και ένα εξαιρετικά μοναδικό μενού. Όσο για την συμπεριφορά του προσωπικού είναι γρήγορη άψογη και πολύ επαγγελματική.

    Cozy place with great food! We went for diner and a cocktail! Starters and mains very delicious with sense of details! Outstanding taste! Friendly and attentively staff.

  • 4/5 Yaniv B. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool place with nice atmosphere... drinks are good but I assume that all the bars in the area serve more or less the same :) Enjoyed it!

  • 3/5 Betty L. 2 years ago on Google
    We visited the place after the persistence of friends as the most elegant and unique place to be, in the centre of the city. Indeed the location is great. Outdoor sitting was available so we chosen to sat out. Staff was friendly. Everything looked nice, cosy and clean, until the moment I visited the ladies room. Black is very demanding colour when it comes to decoration. Everything in toilets was covered with dust. Bins was wide open, so wasn't the best site. On the way to ,on the second floor the laminate was broken in many places, kind of sleep hazard. The decoration is nice but with so many objects taking place its hard to keeped clean and dust free. In a place such this, menu and services aren't enough. Cleanliness is priority specially during these tough times with covid 19. Overall I gave 3 stars for the attentive staff and the location. Hopefully the owners will take action toward to cleanliness aswell. PR is important but heath comes first.
