O Brettos

The walls here are lined with hundreds of bottles of homemade, brilliantly coloured liquors that glow like stained-glass windows. The drinks are good, too.
Oionos

Though this is the youngest, hippest spot on the square, it’s still easy to relax among the ivy-covered outdoor walls.
Parafono

A great little jazz and blues cabaret that for 20 years has attracted some of the best names in the business to its small stage, draped with plush red curtains.
Rembetiki Istoria

The original moulded walls and ceilings of this favourite bar, tucked into an early 20th-century building, are a nice contrast with the earthy music.
Rock ‘n’ Roll

There is nothing rock ‘n’ roll about this Kolonaki classic, just vintage hits, suited businessmen tucking into steak and chips and a Saturday post-shopping crowd.
Rodon-Live Rock

This converted cinema is an institution in Athens’ thriving rock scene. Iggy Pop, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Metallica and many in between have graced the stage.
Sea Satin

Drink and eat the chic Greek way at this atmospheric fish taverna and bar where designer-clad 30-somethings dance on the tables to bouzouki-with-a-beat hits.
Skoufaki

Small, dimly lit, smoky and full of artists and actor types, Skoufaki is Kolonaki’s most famous, longest-established alternative café and bar.
Soul

Stylish but fun and informal. It has a stunning courtyard garden with Chinese lanterns, deep red walls and lush planting.
Spirit Bar

A mixed crowd packs this two-storey club, dominated by a huge gold-beaded chandelier. There’s cosy seating and plenty of room for dancing to funk and trip-hop.
