If you would like a different feel, go to the districts of Plaka and Monastiraki for amazing opportunities to enjoy Greek music and culture. In fact, if live Greek music is what your heart desires then head out to Gazi or the Syggrou Avenue. You can also see a large number of bars at the foothills of Strefi Hill.

Other spirits popular here are the Brandy Brettos and wines. Another bar that enjoys somewhat of a cult status is Briki, a lively place that is well stocked with people at all times of the day. The mood is relaxed and you can sit back and watch people or catch up with friends. If you are in the mood for outstanding music and a chance to meet people, head out to El Rey Alobar in the suburbs.
