📖

Full description

The Bar in Front of the Bar lives up to its name as a small street-side cocktail bar just a short walk from Syntagma Square, feeling like a natural extension of the city around it. Recognised among the best bars in the world, it opens at 6 pm, earlier than many of its peers, and is especially pleasant on a hot evening seated at the outdoor counter, where conversation with neighbouring guests comes easily.

Its compact size means space is limited, and the one common complaint is how quickly it fills.

Reviews

The best bar we’ve ever been to! The secret? Go inside! That’s where you’ll find Patos & Timos, the best bartenders in Athens. We had an amazing time chatting, drinking, and enjoying the incredible cocktails from their special menu. Thanks for making our night so memorable! Greetings from Max 🇳🇱 & Rachele 🇮🇹
