Mades Warung showroom
A haven is a « natural harbor » where ships seek refuge from natural disasters ”. So the particular high ceiling space , in the Levi arcade ( few steps away from Eleutherias Square ) has become for Nikos Saridis his own harbor since 2008 , not to lie and rest , but to be his own base for new discoveries ! Because , quite simply , from the first moment you realize that the particular coffee shop-cocktail bar stands out for its aesthetics . A hidden arcade , where Nikos found the perfect ground to project his preoccupation with the restoration , the processing and the building of old furniture and objects , in which he seems to have excess talent and endless imagination for ! Respecting the building of 1925 , he filled it up with original items of other decades ( a highlight is the Vespa of 1964 , a special design to support the DJ Booth and the burgundy Ford which operates as a stand ) and exotic furniture , either of his own design or brought back from his trips around the world . The result is an atmospheric space with handmade pieces , colonial style and bold vintage elements and … ethnic aesthetics , which takes you to some Cuban bar of those starring in Hemingway ’ s books . The music has also a personality of its own , moving from cosmopolitan sounds and « world sounds » ( jazz , electro , soul , funk , rock , deep house ) with himself having in-depth knowledge of music and taking in charge of the decks next to famous DJs ’. Therefore , in the mornings you may find a nice harbor to lie for a coffee , a tasty juice or some snack , while , in the evening you will come back for a house cocktail to a groovy bar leading you « blindfold » in the path of enjoyment and entertainment through an ode … to design ! Daily from 09:00- as late as it gets .
