Nice atmosphere at the heart of athens . Best cocktails with normal prices (10-13€) . 5 mins walk from monastiraki metro station and 4mins from sintagma station . If offers some food options as well .

a cozy and delightful bar in Athens where you can enjoy delicious cocktails amidst beautiful vibes. It's the perfect place to unwind and savor the atmosphere

The place is cozy and nice to have a couple of drinks before starting the night. They have lots of rum based cocktails. We tried De Stijl and Guadeloupe Tiki Punch. De Stijl was full of foam instead of drink :) so I can only recommend Guadeloupe. They must have lacked staff because 2 waiters couldn’t meet all demand and one of the bartenders had to join the waiters. Though, they were really friendly and helpful.

Not a case 25th best bar.👌😍

Love the ambience and staff there are very friendly. They have quite a huge list of cocktail menu as well as able to make some classic cocktail for me when i was there. The cocktail was well balanced and on the dot on the flavour and taste.

Would highly recommend people to visit.

The service was really good, we got personal attention even though we arrived when it was crowded. The waiter/manager who served us explained about some drinks and they were very attentive to details.
The drinks were very interesting, if not the best cocktails I've had. The food was not bad.

It’s a lovely bar in the heart of Athens. The atmosphere is lovely, music is awesome and the cocktails are really really good.
I really didn’t like the baba though, it was like a cake and didn’t have enough rum syrup. I’m used to the Neapolitan style of babas and they are very different.

My favorite bar in Athens! Since this place opened it has changed the cocktail scene in the city! Nice vibrant music and delicious cocktails.

Cool bar in the heart of Athens. Rather dark but stylish interior. More intimate atmosphere overall. Outside seating available (rare for a Top50 bar) and good crowd. Also interesting cocktails!
Had a Negroni and De Stijl

The atmosphere is incredible. Inside is a darker but perfectly lit rum cantina style bar with a huge back bar and selection of spirits. Our cocktails were great. We of course had rum based cocktails and both were delicious. The crowd spilled out into the street and that’s where we sat at a high top. Definitely worth checking out if you have the chance.

Very well executed rum bar. Fun atmosphere and menu. Focus on Tiki related creations. Good rum selection. Good ice game. We put this on our Athens cocktail tour and were glad we did. We'll be back.

Great cocktails, and very friendly servers! I loved their menu. It’s a book that has their cocktails separated by alcohol. There is something for everyone here, their menu is huge. I had the Du Mal. It was delicious! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great drink.

There is a reason this bar is in Top50 bars in the world list… the cocktails are so well prepared and they are delicious! I’ve been there couple of times when I was in Athens and every time the service and the drinks were consistently excellent… also the Atik much fun… it gets crowded especially on the weekends so be prepared but you must try their cocktails when in Athens…

On my last night in Athens, I decided to check this place out as it was highly recommended by a few folks. Phenomenal.

You feel the vibe the moment you walk towards it. The decor is tasteful, with a love for Rum and cocktails all around.

The cocktails themselves are delicious. I sat at the bar, and I saw him make various cocktails - each in its unique style. I highly recommend Pollock's Highball!!

If you're in Athens, this is a must visit - on top of your list!
