    The staff would not let me or my friends come in because we are American. Upon more questioning, they told me that I was not dressed nice enough and other girls walking in wearing basically the same thing I was told they were “perfect” so they were let in. These guys have poor respect for women, and it shows

    Unfortunately I have to give this place 1 star in lieu of a 0-star option. Long story short, if you want to spend some money on drinks, my advice would be to do that somewhere where you’re respected upfront and not after footwear and clothing inspection. Details follow: I was part of a big group reservation and a couple of friends were not allowed in because they were not wearing nice enough shoes (!) If you indeed want to maintain a certain threshold of dressing in your business that should be clearly advertised in your website and/or social media pages. When I checked these online locations, all I got was a poorly maintained online space hosting shots of cocktails with photo-filters straight from 2010.

    Literally everywhere on the internet, even on their own webpage, it is writen that the bar opens at 8pm. When I took place in this nice location shortly after 8pm a waitress came to me but was very bad at english so she could not understand me. Soon the owner/boss arrived and explained to me they are not opened yet. After asking when they open, the girl says 8:30 but the owner says 10 or 11 but that there is no entry without reservation. Also an information writen nowhere. I don't know if it was about me but all this was strange. I left. That is such a shame. This place was highly recommended by a good friend, who is greek and a fantastic bartender, so I was really looking forward to have a good drink here.

    Nice bar but as in most other places if they think you are American they ask that the bill is paid in cash. Reason is they don't want to have to report the sales to the government. Most of Greece operates like this, we were asked at hotels also, where the bill can get to several hundred dollars.

    After paying 150€ bottle entry fee, we got kicked out for being "too loud". Not friendly towards African-American people. Would not recommend going here as a tourist.

    I wish there was an option to respond to Pat McCabe's review but since there's not, I'm writing my own. As Pat mentions the place is really nice looking but it should be the last on anyone's list to visit in Thessaloniki. Worst staff I've had the misfortune to meet in a bar anywhere in the world so far! And regarding the fact that they ask you to pay in cash, you need to know that it is illegal for any bar to not have the option for customers to pay with a card, therefore you are not even required to pay for any of your drinks if they don't accept your card. Whatever they say, you can call the police and they will be in a world of trouble for it! Same goes for any hotels or any kind of transactions you make while in Greece! So don't be afraid to demand to pay with a credit card! Just terrible! You should be ashamed!

    Generic bar/club which is rarely overcrowded. Perfect for an opening for the late night. Good drinks and side dishes (if selected). Prices are standard too. The music is generally generic as well, constantly playing mainstream and club music. I didn't experience greek music but I did not stay too late to say for sure. The place also provides hookah and unique tastes and mixes too. Nothing too special about it, but can't go wrong with it either.

    Total waste of time. If you are a foreigner stay away. Rude and unwelcoming.

    Just for a quick drink,after dinner, the place is well known and popular in the city of thessaloniki, you have the sky above, enjoying your drink, cocktail or just a beer in a nice cosy place, near Nikis avenue, and then you can take a stroll by the sea. The music was fantastic, with fine electro beats in the little time i spent in it.

    Service was a little slow and the music was kind of elevator music!

  • 4/5 George S. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a nice Terrasse in the center of Thessaloniki. It has a nice view and very nice cocktails to enjoy. The staff could be a bit more polite when treating customers. Especially in the entrance.

    location- great reception staff- awful. we went wednesday and they placed us at a table were just one of us was able to stay on back and also very small and unconfortable. the drinks were great. next day we went again and we were the only clients so i asked the recetion girl if we can stay at other table because she placed us in the same spot as the day before. she told me the other tables are reservation. for real? we were leaving after one or two hours and the other tables were still empty. the girl with brown long hair was not nice at all.

    Only 3 working hours. No food, no snacks, no dancing. Only drinks and music. After 2 o'clock, the club is not working. Everybody gone. I was there first and last time

😐 Popular Thessaloniki restaurant. Beautiful place, unique view over Thessaloniki bay. Service and food unfortunately doesn't match the first impression. The food was lovely presented, but the taste was rather average. Service personnel not very attentive or not well trained. Who knows. Still, I keep...

🫤 This visit was in middle of August, but still: no soap in bathrooms, I almost slip due to the (very) wet floor of the bar, the beer was poorly drawn (6€ is a fair price for a craft beer, but come on), the CO2 machine needs to be checked once in a while. The place is beautiful tough and the service...
