Split

Models and scenesters dine on Mediterreanean cuisine and pack the supercool bar after midnight. Face-check at the door can be daunting.
Stathmos

Tacky decor and overpriced drinks, but there’s no denying the enthusiasm of the crowds of Greeks swaying to their favourite songs.
Stoa Athanaton

Athens’ premiere rembetatiko, open day and night. Old-timers with cigars shower musicians with flowers, and, when the mood strikes, dance to gritty songs of heartbreak. Reserve on Friday and Saturday.
Taximi

Most of Greece’s greatest rembetatika musicians have played here, and the atmosphere retains something of a bygone age.
Thirio

In this old house turned bar, small stone rooms seem to follow endlessly from one to another, dimly lit by star-shaped lights and candles. Sink in and enjoy the jazz.
To Tristato

The old-world atmosphere – all potted palms, portraits and pink swags – might almost distract you entirely from the prime reason for coming here: the spectacular pastries and mountain teas.
Up Down

Coffee, cocktails and ice creams in a split-level bar with underwater murals and a glass spiral staircase – plus a splendid roof terrace.
Venue

On three levels, each with different music, this is one of Athens’ most exclusive clubs. Tricky getting in without connections. Moves to the coast in summer.
Vyni

One of Athens’ few full beer gardens offers an international range of brews on tap, plus Hellenized pub grub.
Wild Thing

The first in a row of super-trendy late night café-bars overlooking the Delfinario, Wild Thing pulls in the 30-something crowd.
