Casablanca Social Club ★ 4.4
Casablanca Social Club on the Vasilissis Olgas waterfront stays open until 3am with live music on Thursdays and Fridays. The neoclassical Villa Michailidis setting, jazz-and-blues programming, and the calm elegance of the bar make it the most civilised late option on the waterfront boulevard.
Bougatsa Bantis Dawn ★ 4.6
Bantis opens at 05:30 in Dikastirion to catch the dawn crowd: bakers, market workers, and the people just leaving the bars. The cream bougatsa from the marble counter at 06:00 is one of the city's best post-night-out foods. Phyllo is hand-stretched and folded fresh by Filippos Bantis using his grandfather's 1969 recipe.
Bougatsa Giannis ★ 4.6
Bougatsa Giannis opens at 8pm and closes at 3pm the next afternoon. The late-night cream and cheese bougatsa institution on Mitropoleos: fresh phyllo, cold pastry cream, and cinnamon at any hour of the night. Essential after the bars close.
Diagonios 1977 ★ 4.3
Diagonios keeps the Egnatia corner open until 3am on Friday and Saturday with the same pork souvlaki it has served since 1977. The city's most reliable late-night grill: no seats, no complications, just skewers and pita.
Purovoku Project ★ 4.8
The 50 Best Discovery bar in Ladadika keeps its doors open until 4am on weekends. The Greek-spirit cocktail programme and the tsipouro-based drinks do not flag after midnight. The queue on Friday forms from 10pm; by 1am the room is at full energy.
