In a place, in the narrow Pallados
street in Psyrri.. . colonial style,
wooden painted walls, retro lamps
were all handmade from scratch
and narrate, created by Alex Pe-
traki and Vivian Dimitrakopoulou
(Belle Amie, Monsieur Cannibale,
Noel, Upupa Epops), Juan Rodri-
guez, was a slave who managed
to shake off his shackles and arrive
in Athens making his dream come
true that is a bar reminding him
of his home country but far away
from it... he tells , in the best way,
his story. Obviously, it’s not a
real person but a figment of the
imagination of Armanlina Anto-
nopoulou and Kostas Lucas who
joined forces and realized their
idea for a new all-day destination.
This all-day place welcomes us
in the morning with authentic
Thracian coffee prepared slowly in
the embers, while we are greatly
impressed by the list of cocktails
(prices from 7 to 9 €!) which is di-
vided into three categories. Spyros
ΠΑΛΛΑ∆ΟΣ 3, ΨΥΡΡΗ, Τ. 210 3224496,
Anagnostou’s card of punches, the
pre - bottled cocktails category
offers pre - bottled cocktails con-
taining two to three spirits and are
aged in oak barrels while most of
the options are in the category of
twisted classics, “experimenting”
with recipes... Great emphasis
has also been given on the dining
which really makes a difference
as it is one of the few, if not the
only, bar that serves food until
02:00! The dishes created by Di-
onysis Papanikolaou are ideal for
serving at the bar! The value for
money menu is based on Medi-
terranean and Greek cuisine with
emphasis on quality ingredients
and the taste. Exquisite are also
the suggestions for breakfast! In
any case, leave some rooms at
the end of your meal to try out
some of the great desserts such as
the… twisted millefeuille and the
homemade ice cream with organic
milk amongst others! Daily from
09:00.
