  • 1/5 Magia G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) 2 words I will say only ignorance of danger. Staff who believe that the mask is a simple accessory and can be worn as it suits everyone. Standing customers indoors show off their dancing skills on top of each other as if we do not have Tsiodras informing us every day about the cases. I will not comment on the store's policy of eating well and in general. In general, irresponsibility and unprofessionalism in all its glory. (Original) 2 λέξεις θα πω μονάχα άγνοια κινδύνου. Προσωπικό που πίστευει ότι η μάσκα είναι ένα απλό αξεσουάρ και μπορει να φορεθει όπως βολεύει τον καθένα. Όρθιοι πελάτες σε κλειστό χώρο επιδεικνύουν τις χορευτικές τους ικανότητες ο ένας πάνω στον άλλον λες και δεν έχουμε κάθε μέρα τον Τσιοδρα να μας ενημερώνει για τα κρούσματα.Την πολιτική του μαγαζιού να τρως ντε και καλά δεν θα την σχολιάσω.Σε γενικές γραμμές η ανευθυνότητα και ο αντιεπαγγελματισμος στο μεγαλείο του.

    Unique bar in Athens with kind staff and eclectic vibe. The interior is like an art exhibition and the DJ provides a unique selection of tunes. watch locals play backgammon and chequers – anyone can join. We came back multiple times during our stay and will swing by next time in Athens

  • 3/5 Panagiotis M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very beautiful interior and very simple exterior. It does not resemble a classic and relaxed rakomeladiko due to the loud music. On peak days it would be good to avoid it because it turns into a club. I would characterize his food and wine as mediocre to satisfactory but always in this area the opinions are many and always respected. The service is quite good but you need to pay attention to the safety measures because when it is crowded they are not observed. Affordable prices. Parking in the area is a bit difficult. (Original) Πολύ όμορφος εσωτερικός χώρος και πολύ απλός ο εξωτερικός. Δεν θυμίζει κλασσικό και χαλαρό ρακομελάδικο λόγω της δυνατής μουσικής. Τις μέρες αιχμής καλό θα είναι να το αποφύγετε γιατί μετατρέπεται σε κλάμπ. Το φαγητό και το κρασί του θα το χαρακτήριζα μέτριο προς ικανοποιητικό αλλά πάντα σε αυτό τον τομέα οι γνώμες είναι πολλές και πάντα σεβαστές. Το service αρκετά καλό αλλά χρειάζεται προσοχή στα μέτρα ασφαλείας γιατί όταν έχει πολύ κόσμο δεν τηρούνται. Οι τιμές προσιτές προς τσιμπημένες. Το πάρκινγκ στην περιοχή είναι λίγο δύσκολο.

    This is the first bar in Kolokotroni Street which opened up and set the tone for everything else to bloom. Nikos, the owner, had a vision of the modern day Street long time ago and implemented it. Respect.

    Cool venue, really enjoyed the music. Need to be here at 3am I think too really be vibing it. The Cosmopolitan was ok, it was missing the flamed orange peel to really elevate it but was still a solid effort. Most bars flood it with excess cranberry juice. Did I mention the music? I had a cool video but maps won't let me upload it😮‍💨

    Super cool place !! Amazing atmosphere, lots of locals and the prices are fair for the good cocktails :) the bartenders were extremely nice and kind and open to answer our touristy questions. There are also chess tables and an aerial hoop, some people were using these which was very cool to see. Definitely recommend for a night out !

    A great place, really. Interesting people in a bar that is more an institution. (25 years and counting). Music is doomer, perfect for now. The cathedral ceiling lets you feel free, if only for the duration of your visit 😏🎩✨BBIA- best bar in Athens

    Very interesting Lynchean atmosphere, an arty place. Not much of a beer selection (I was hoping to have some Corfu beers), but it was a nice place to sit.

    Great atmosphere! Fun place for good priced drinks over a game of chess. Also amazing music from a live DJ with great taste.

  • 4/5 AndGeo 2 months ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    A place for beer, chess and music. I cannot recommend the cocktails here, thats why it gets 4 stars from me. But I love it, one of my favourite bars for sure. Feels holistic, fun and alternative. Hell yeah

  • 4/5 Rossana D. 6 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    I recently had the pleasure of visiting this unique bar that offers a blend of art exhibitions, chess, and fantastic live DJ music. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind experience in your city, this is the place to be! The art exhibitions on display were both intriguing and thought-provoking, showcasing the talent of local artists. It's not every day that you can enjoy a glass of your favourite drink while appreciating beautiful artwork. What truly sets this bar apart, however, is the availability of chess tables. Whether you're a seasoned chess player or a novice looking to learn, you'll find this place perfect for a challenging game with live DJ music in the background. Who would dare! It's a hidden gem that deserves more recognition. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Kiúri N. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm drawn to it's ambience. The music is great most times, and it's one of my favorite places to go for a coffee/beer and play a game of chess.

  • 5/5 Éva B. 1 year ago on Google
    Good cocktails, high quality et low prices!

  • 4/5 Ron L. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Emil Giannisis V. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Michael B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to sit and work at. Great service and drinks and the thing is this Cooperative is easy accessible and really calm at times as well as busy for a drink in nights. Love it and will always come back ;)

  • 5/5 Blend 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice place to make a stop while exploring plaka and it's neighbors. Though they had only one sort of Beer which was a pity

  • 5/5 Peter E. 1 year ago on Google
    The place to be for smokers and the cool crowd in Athens. Don't be scared of the tall ghostly figure hanging around the bar, juggling his smokes and drinks. It's the owner.

  • 5/5 Livet M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place, roomy, good coffee, pleasant staff, I liked the choice of music as well. If you like chess they also have big boards there where you can play.

  • 5/5 Fran S. 1 year ago on Google
    Brilliant ambiance created by the interesting art and great alternative music. large tables with chess boards and nice people.

  • 5/5 katerina g. 1 year ago on Google
    The best Psy-ambient music you can find in Athens and very kind stuff...

  • 5/5 chris f. 1 year ago on Google
    Good electronic music (whenever I went this was playing), friendly people, good drinks. Love the industrial mixed with art nouvau aesthetic of the interior. They smoke inside, if you can't handle it think before you go. Also no smoker, it is ok for me, as a person who hates cigarettes smell, didn't notice it.

  • 4/5 Maria S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar! However, the drinks aren’t always “clean”. That’s why I put 4 stars instead of 5. However, the music is great and it gathers nice people.

  • 2/5 Vangelis K. 1 year ago on Google
    The music was not so good (sleepy). The service was very bad. Too much smoke even if it was half empty. Definitely not the place it used to be. Not recommended.

  • 4/5 Bobo b. 9 months ago on Google
    The kind of underground boozer you will appreciate at the end of the evening, good chicken artistic vibe more of the same friendly faces, interesting sound track, and you can find your first date nich inside or play checkmate with local enthusias or seat in the breeze outside

  • 5/5 ThienAn L. 9 months ago on Google
    mystic & fabulous architecture with chess, drinks and some players:)

  • 4/5 kidmess j. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the most atmospheric bars in Athens. I’ve been coming for decades. I have to write a review in case the owner sees it. Everything is good but the music is TOO LOUD. It’s bad for the place and the atmosphere. But yes, still a good bar

  • 5/5 C Z. 9 months ago on Google
    Whenever I am in Athens I take a capuchino fredo in this bar in the morning. The atmosphere is so relaxed.

    (Translated by Google) Nice place, very noisy due to people, but the quality of food and wine needs an upgrade, and of course more reasonable prices ... the times we are going through not only want to make a profit but also to keep the customer happy with the quality and the the prices (Original) Ωραίος χώρος, πολύ βαβούρα λόγω κόσμου, αλλα χρειάζεται μια αναβάθμιση ποιότητας το φαγητό και το κρασί, και φυσικά λογικοτερες τιμες...η εποχή που διανύουμε δεν θέλει μόνο επίτευξη κέρδους αλλά και να μένει και ο πελάτης ευχαριστημένος και από την ποιότητα αλλά και από τις τιμές

  • 4/5 George K. 5 years ago on Google
    Food looks to be delicious, better to reserve if you plan to visit night time. One of the nicest bars to be checked.

  • 4/5 Leonidas K. 4 years ago on Google
    I found it a bit expensive for what it had to offer. Liked the rakomelo. Food was OK. Half - sweet wine (or imigliko) was nothing special, tasted like sour cherry juice (LOL).

  • 5/5 Marie S. 6 years ago on Google
    What can I say about Meli, it's just awesome! They have great food but not only that on the same time you can have great time there with very good live music and perfect mood! I love that place!

  • 5/5 Edward K. 6 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mobius S. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place to dance till late at night (around 4:00), excellent prices and mostly full of young people(age: 18-28). Sometimes you may find it difficult to find a table inside cause it's usually crowded.

  • 5/5 Gabor B. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Rania C. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good place nice Greek mix music, good DJ. Cocktails were excellent if you are fan of sweet side tast, must try the red wine cocktail with bubblegum. IT WAS A DREAM!

  • 5/5 Helena Katarina - H. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the coolest bars in Athens. Relaxed atmosphere, great music (there was a DJ every night we went), and very good cocktails and local wine as well. Watch out though, the portion sizes aren't exactly small. :)

  • 4/5 Naya P. 5 years ago on Google
    The absolute place to visit down town Athens! Coffee, drinks, music excibitions, performances.. name it it's there... One true artistic hub.

  • 4/5 Nathalia L. 4 years ago on Google
    This is the coolest, quirkiest bar I visited in Athens (from a tourist perspective at least!). The band playing was very entertaining, the staff was extremely friendly, the drinks were not overpriced and the crowd hanging there was very chilled. The one thing that was bothersome was the amount of smoking going on - for a non smoker obviously, but if that’s your thing you’re in the right place!

  • 5/5 Ingmar S. 2 years ago on Google
    I cannot be objective since this is my favorite place over the last decades.

  • 2/5 Stelios P. 1 year ago on Google
    Booze is not what it once was. While it once hosted interesting characters and conversation, all accompanied by tasteful, unintrusive music, it has regressed to a mindless haven of the drunk and the washed up. A young guy was convulsing from the bad drungs he had taken, while everyone was too apathetic to notice or care. The music was deafeningly loud and aggresive, and the drinks mediocre. The staff were nice though.

  • 5/5 Evelyn P. 2 years ago on Google
    Music People Space A haven!

  • 5/5 Ellen J. 4 years ago on Google
    Cool place, good cocktails, great DJ, inexplicable chickens.

  • 5/5 Jack C. 5 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed having a drink at this bar. I found the staff to be really friendly, helpful and professional. I think I might move to Athens so I can make it my local. It offers a really good mix of alternative music. I discovered mastika and for a good sized glass goblet with ice, mint and a twist of lemon it was 5 euro. It allows smoking as it is the headquarters of the smokers party but as a non-smoker it did not bother me. Sitting on the footpath with the cool evening breeze and good music playing was a genuine pleasure. I also saw chess players at the long table and locals coming and going. Wish I could visit again soon.

  • 4/5 Georgios M. 2 years ago on Google
    Always friendly, the spot in central Athens to enjoy a drink interval during downtown shopping or sightseeing.

    (Translated by Google) Nice shop with good music. Medium food with slightly stingy prices. Difficult place to park. (Original) Μαγαζί ωραίο με καλή μουσική. Φαγητό μέτριο με τσιμπημένες λίγο τις τιμές. Δύσκολο σημείο για να παρκάρεις.
