Where can I get a cheap drink in Athens?

Drupes & Spritzeria on Zitrou serves spritz cocktails for €6, including a spicy Aperol Spritz, which the creator calls excellent value for the city center. It is walk-in only, with outdoor seating and cheese and salumi platters. In the morning it works as a coffee stop.

Do I need a reservation at The Clumsies?

The record recommends reservations at The Clumsies, an all-day cocktail bar on Praxitelous that is consistently ranked on the World's 50 Best Bars list. It is the most expensive bar in this set and has a private upstairs room with a fireplace and billiards.

Bars in Greece From TikTok: Athens Cocktails, Wine and Spritz

Four of these six are in Athens, and they cover the main ways to drink there: a world-ranked cocktail bar in a neoclassical townhouse, a Greek wine tasting bar in Psirri, a cheap spritz deli and a jazz wine bar in Kolonaki. Two come from the same 'Athens niche guide', which pairs Cinque Wine & Deli with The Clumsies.

Outside the capital, the list gets looser. Mizithres Summer Vibes is a cliffside bar in Keri on Zakynthos, there for the sea stack views. Biolea, near Chania on Crete, is filed as a tasting room, but it is an organic olive oil estate where the creator raves about the food. Prices are moderate except The Clumsies.

Where creators go

The ClumsiesCocktail Bar · Athens
An all-day cocktail bar in a neoclassical townhouse on Praxitelous, consistently ranked on the World's 50 Best Bars list. The menu is creative, and upstairs, The Room has a fireplace and a billiards table for private groups. Expensive, and reservations are recommended.
Cinque Wine & DeliWine Bar · Athens
A Greek wine bar and deli on Agatharchou in Psirri, running guided tastings of indigenous grapes with local cheeses and charcuterie. There is a Founders' Edition wine selection, and the hosting feels personal. A good first stop to learn Greek wine before ordering elsewhere.
Drupes & SpritzeriaCocktail Bar · Athens
A small café-deli on Zitrou in central Athens with specialty coffee by day and spritz by evening, plus cheese and salumi boards. The creator's point is price: spritzes for €6, including a spicy Aperol version. Walk-ins only, with outdoor seats.
Una MásWine Bar · Athens
A wine and jazz bar on Charitos in Kolonaki, playing jazz, blues and funk, with wine, spritzes, a dry Martini and tapas to share. The creator's tip is to take a seat on the street or the front stoop and drink like a local. Moderate prices.
Mizithres Summer VibesBar · Zakynthos
A cliffside venue in Keri village on Zakynthos with food, drinks and outdoor seating facing the Mizithres sea stacks. The record lists it as a popular photography spot. There are no creator notes, so treat it as a place for the view rather than a cocktail destination.
BioleaWine Tasting Room · Mourniés
A fifth-generation family estate in Astrikas, near Chania, pressing organic Koroneiki olive oil in traditional stone mills. It is listed as a tasting room rather than a bar. The creator says the food was some of the most delicious they had eaten in years, and the oil is pressed on site.

An Athens evening, cheap to splurge

Start with €6 spritzes at Drupes & Spritzeria, then move to Cinque for a Greek wine tasting in Psirri. For the final round, The Clumsies is the expensive, reservation-recommended choice, or head to Una Más in Kolonaki for a Martini on the stoop with jazz playing inside.

Good to know

The Clumsies for world-ranked cocktails, Cinque Wine & Deli for Greek wine tastings in Psirri, Drupes & Spritzeria for €6 spritzes, and Una Más in Kolonaki for wine and jazz. Each has one post in this set, two of them in the same Athens niche guide.
