Okeanos
A unique café where you can have your fortune read in your coffee dregs, in a suitably laid-back and vaguely mystical atmosphere. The place oddly morphs into a karaoke bar after 10.30pm.

Address: 117 Egnatia | Telephone: 2310 247 924 |

Namaste
Very laid-back café cum ouzeri, with touches of the orient in its colourful décor as the name suggests. Popular with students for its coffee, spirits and mezedakia, including relatively inexpensive seafood. 

Address: 68 Olymbou | Telephone: 2310 272 234 |

Kitchen Bar
Even more cutting-edge than the Contemporary Art Museum next door, this converted warehouse is a prime spot for clubbers. If it's mild, cool off and enjoy fine city views from the terrace.

Address: 2nd Port Warehouse, Ladadika | Telephone: 2310 502 241 |

Don Kihotis
Named after Don Quixote, this classic bar has been attracting crowds for 30 years by virtue of its ecelectic mix of mostly rock music and nice touches like light fittings made from old vinyl records.

Address: 4 Proxenou Koromela | Telephone: 2310 273 900 |
