Sienna Kang

Beautiful courtyard transformed into bar/cafe and contemporary art space. Entrance is only subtly marked in a dark alley. Get the cocktail "the Hunt"-- mastiha with chili and cucumber

Ania Majłowska

Really nice place in the centre of Athens, close to Monastiraki square! Trees inside of the place and art of local artists present during the evening. Cool place for a coffee and drink!!

Ayla Hussein

Sandy Rose

One of the best places in Athens! Used to be a prison of the old times and now its a great place to get coffee and drinks! Reminds me of old spanish houses with an inner yard

Μαρίνα Θεανώ Κάτσαρη

What a find!A unique hidden gem in the heart of Athens!Great vibe,nice cocktails & coffee .Fair prices & good service .If I lived anywhere around it,I would definitely be a regular.

Arthur Pirogovski

Look for an old door to a house with a small TAF sign near it. It takes a while to see it. Inside is an art gallery with outdoors bar .

Merih Arıkkök

Really cool place, artistic& authentic . Good drinks and warm atmosphere. Top on your list to chat with friends along with a drink or lighting up the fire for the night;)

Fatima Al Hashimi

Hidden gem . Feels like miles away when it's right in the center of the hustle & bustle.

Giwrgos Megremis

Super magnificent, hidden behind a secret old door café-bar. Walk in....and discover a whole different world!! Grand old fashion ambience. You'll never regret coming here.

Irene

It worths a visit definitely! Enjoy your drink, listening to live music and admiring art work pieces.

David Heiser

Very cool coffee shop / bar / art space hidden behind a bunch of tourist nonsense. Definitely worth a visit.

The tunnel .

Very interesting place, sometimes overly crowded but still spacious . Consciously gender neutral bathrooms . But hey, pee in any toilet you want regardless :)

Karine Miron

Great artsy and hip spot away from the touristic crowd. Try the microbrewerie beer . Take a look at the exhibitions in the different rooms.

Achilleas Konstantzos

Excellent cozy place in the heart of Athens! Stop by for a drink and have a look at art gallery and shop.

Hope DiKappa

A must place to be! Great atmosphere, coffee and nice music . Good staff and service.

The Taste Sheriff

Great place to come once and enjoy the unique setting. Just for drinks or coffee . It's usually seriously packed, avoid on weekends.

Edward Mavro

Amazing Cafe/Bar/Art Gallery ! a mix of run-down and minimal deco, with an open air atrium as the main "stage" surrounded by 2 floors of decrepit rooms as galleries . Jazz , Blues and lounge music . Excel

Onur Bal

Coktails are amazing! Music is marvelous. Ambiance is great... this is one of the best bar in Athens

Sidira Kuria

Art cafe/bar in monastiraki. Interesting interior, though extremely hot and wet in summers. Prefer it in winter nights or when the weather is not extremely hot.

Aris Zi

Excellent service great environment... 7/10 cocktails . Great suggestion for people that want to forget they are in a big city

Iraklis Patsialos

It’s a nice hidden spot to enjoy a cup of coffee . Interesting space with the small rooms inside.

Good espresso . Art and relics all around. Not a secret anymore but still with character. Not a winter spot as they have put ugly plastics to cover the yard

This is a great "hidden" place to enjoy coffee after a day in the center
