Jackson Hall

This all-American diner serves beer and burgers with fries among film-star memorabilia. But, this being Kolonaki, Fashion TV plays on large screens and the waitresses are skimpy model-types.
Kavouras

A dark and smoky rembetika den upstairs: allnight souvlaki joint under the same name can be found on the ground floor.
Klepsydra

This tiny, quiet bar-café behind the Tower of the Winds is surrounded by flower pots and pastel-hued buildings. Locals love it as it’s nicely tucked away.
Kydatheneon

Intellectuals and locals chew the fat in a garden overlooking the square in summer, or in the stone dining room in winter, at this beautiful vestige of the early 20th century.
Lamda

Two floors of silver-and-holograph walls, up-to-the-minute Eurotechno music, and model-perfect boy clientele make this one of Athens’ hottest gay bars.
Love Café

Much hyped bar-restaurant with loud music, young clientele, and 1970s’ interior of white plastic furniture with splashes of vibrant red.
Melina

This pink-and-gilt shrine to late Greek actress and national heroine Melina Mercouri was once her favourite café.
Mikra Asia

The name means Asia Minor, and this Turkish-and-Arab themed lounge sports aptly low couches, cushions, red lighting, coloured tiles and a huge picture of the city Greeks still call Constantinople.
Mommy

This small, diverse bar and restaurant takes over the neighbouring pavements at weekends as patrons spill out, drinks in hand.
Neon

Open-top jeeps and motor-bikes pull up outside this vast bar-nightclub, with white leather armchairs on three levels and industrial air conditioning to keep the atmosphere just right.
