This trendy bar, which moved here from the neighborhood of Kerameikos, is just as successful at it’s new corner location in Kolonaki. Open every day from 10.00 in the morning, and serving brunch on the weekends, it’s still perhaps at its best in the evening.

Skoufaki has the look of a traditional Athenian bar: the bar itself is large, so there is room to sit and watch the bartender in action, but the rest of the space offers limited seating. It fills up daily with people looking for excellent drinks and good music (it’s one of the few places that has a DJ every day of the week).

This historic bar between Kolonaki and Exarhia, with its film noir-inspired interior, has been serving quality drinks ever since it opened in 1978.
