7 late-night dives worth the night across Greece, editor-ranked. All Greece guides.

Brettos ★ 4.6

€PlakaAthens

Brettos on Kydathineon in Plaka has run since 1909 as Athens' oldest distillery and one of Europe's oldest bars, with a backlit wall of multi-hued bottles.

TipThe back-bar wall of glowing bottles is the photo seat; order the house ouzo or the cherry liqueur on ice. Open daily 10:00-02:00; walk in.

Au Revoir ★ 4.4

€ExarchiaAthens

Au Revoir on Patision Avenue in Kypseli has run since 1958 as the city's oldest cocktail bar, an Aristomenis Provelegios interior unchanged.

TipCash-only bar; the green-leather banquettes and the original 1950s decor are intact. Victoria Metro L1 is the closest stop; the room is small, arrive early.

Diagonios 1977 ★ 4.3

Thessaloniki

At 2am on a Friday, Diagonios is the most authentic late-night experience available in Thessaloniki: pork skewers under strip lighting, cold beer, no seats.

Cantina Social ★ 4.2

€PsyrriAthens

Cantina Social on Leokoriou in Psyrri is the hidden after-hours bar reached through a covered passage off the street, with cheap drinks, old industrial.

TipHard to find; take the unmarked passage from Leokoriou into the courtyard. Cash bar is fastest; Monastiraki Metro is the closest stop.

Off the Chain ★ 4.1

€ExarchiaAthens

Off the Chain on Zoodochou Pigis in Exarchia is the indie after-hours bar that opens after the rest of the neighbourhood closes, with heavy rock.

TipDoors after the other Exarchia bars close; the rock-and-metal programme runs to dawn. Cash bar is faster; Omonia Metro is the closest stop.

Krasas ★ 4.0

€GreekOld TownHeraklion

Krasas is the Ikarou grill house that doubles as a late-night stop in Heraklion, serving gyros and cold beer until three o'clock in the morning.

Mavrokostas ★ 3.9
