    Very nice place! It's the most suitable for a beer after work! The decoration is lovely and reminds a real pub. But what makes it unique is the dog who sits on the stairs and it is getting upset whet it tries to sleep but music is too lood! I loved that place!!

    Best absinthe bar in the city of Thessaloniki. Great variety of absinthe based cocktails. Awesome jazz and swing music. Lovely regulars. Serves free shots once you be there for a while.

    Wonderful environment and amazing music!!!

  • 4/5 Andrea D. 3 months ago on Google New
    Music selection is great, environment is cozy but too small, noisy and crowded (on Sat).

  • 5/5 Gabriella D. 8 months ago on Google
    AMAZING! Went three nights in a row, €3 a shot with large range of flavours. After staying there so long we also got a round of free shots when one was ‘poisoned’ with absinthe.

    Very cool chilled bar. Great staff and massive knowledge of cocktails. You ask you shall receive. Chat to Petros. Super chilled. Think Nora Jones\Stevie wonder jazz vibe.

    One of friends had suggested that I go to this bar to try absinthe. So I decided to take my friends there for my birthday. And I've got to say that this is a freaking gold mine of a bar! The decor is gorgeous and the menu was spectacular! But the music was the best thing about it by far! It's mainly jazz, but I honestly never expected I would hear my favourite jazz musician. I'm speechless, this is a bar everybody should visit!

  • 5/5 Victoria K. 8 months ago on Google
    Wonderful jazzy atmosphere, came here three nights in a row because it has a great selection of absinthe shots. Not that crowded which leaves a better experience. Great service and staff. Got free shots each time we came. Shots are 3€.

  • 5/5 Shivam P. 1 year ago on Google
    Chill place with honest pricing.

  • 5/5 YAFEA A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great late night bar with very chilled music. It's in the party area of Thessaloniki. Very central. Prices are great. The staff were friendly. They play mainly music from the 1940s and jazz. If you are a fan of this type of music then it's the place to go for you. I highly recommend it if you're in Thessaloniki.

    A good place. Excellent quality (drinks) Shots on the house

  • 5/5 George C. 4 years ago on Google
    If you're into absinthe drinks and cocktails, that's the best place you can visit. The decor is dim, and that creates an amazing atmosphere. After a while, free shots are served to the customers. The music blends in with the decor ; at about midnight they crank it up. The service is fast and the people who run the place are serious professionals. Give this place a try, it will amaze you.

    Makes Thessaloniki home.

    Lovely and cozy place on jazz tunes

  • 5/5 Christos C. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice bar. Friendly cool atmosphere. Jazz music. I always hear something new and exciting each time I go. Plays CD s of great quality sound. After 11 music plays loud. During summer time can sit outside.

  • 4/5 Anastasia C. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the oldest bars in the city, try the cocktails and shots with absinthe. Beautiful bar, great choice of music. The only minus is the bar that is too high!

  • 5/5 Tatyana D. 6 years ago on Google
    We discovered this bar when we were on a vacation with friends. It was great! The atmosphere, the service, the music, everything. I will definitely visit it again when I am in Thessaloniki and I recommend it for people who love jazz and electro swing music.

😐 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...
