Where can you find some cheap Athens bars that are not a complete disappointment? Well, that’s a tough question. Your best bet would be to roam around the city, see if you like a bar that comes your way and join in. If you don’t like that method, you could also ask for recommendations to your hotel/hostel receptionist or on famous travel forums such as Lonely Planet’s Thorn Tree. Or you could just follow our advice blindly and check out one of the following bars:

1. Brettos Bar

This is a traditional bar located in Plaka. What sets this bar apart is that you can start talking instantly with anyone that is inside the bar. This makes way to hearing – and sharing – some interesting stories from totally different people. They offer ouzo straight from the barrel, wines poured straight into glasses, different kinds of brandy (3, 5 and 7 years stars) and more. They also have an interesting decor at the bar consisting of lit and colorful bottles.

2. Oinopneymata Bar

This is one of those charming bars located in Psiri, Athens. If you don’t know what I mean by using “charming”, I highly reccomend you visit this bar, or any bar on Miaouli Street, on a late Saturday night and see for yourself. Get some fine wine and a pipe, take a seat outside – if you can find any – and just watch the world go by.

Address: 21 Miaouli, Psiri, Athens

3. Liquid Bar

This is another cheap Athens bar from the Psiri district. It is located close to the Oinopneymata Bar on Miaouli Street. What we said about Oinopneymata can just as well be said here as well. Recommended.

4. Guru Bar

Guru Bar is a jazz bar located in central Athens. If you also want to eat here, be prepared as they only serve spicy but delicious Thai food.

Address: 10 Theatrou Square, Thisson, Athens
Telephone: 210-3246530

5. Mike’s Irish Bar

What’s an Irish Bar doing in here mate? Well, it’s on our list because it’s pretty good. They have live music of various styles every night and it is an excellent bar for the sports fan: it has around 10 TVs and a large screen broadcasting important sporting events from around the world. They also have karaoke nights and happy hours.

Do keep in mind that these bars are not necessarily cheap; just cheaper than plenty of other Athens bars in comparison to their quality.

We’d also recommend that, whichever Athens bars you choose, you try out some of the traditional drinks such as ouzo, Metaxa or Greek wines.
