Fridays Bar is a nightlife spot in Thessaloniki.
One of the most established LGBTQ-friendly bars in Thessaloniki on Egnatia, running themed nights and a consistent crowd. The cocktail list is above average for the area and the space is welcoming regardless of identity.
Address: Egnatia 101, Thessaloniki 546 34
Sortie transitions from specialty coffee in the morning to natural wine bar in the afternoon with a curated soundtrack that makes it the closest thing Thessaloniki has to a listening bar. The music policy is quieter and more considered than the Ladadika bars; the conversation is the point.
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, the full post-bar population of the city cycling through in 15 minutes each. Since 1977.
Plus Club in Valaoritou is one of Thessaloniki's most established large-format dance venues, running electronic music from resident and touring DJs across a warehouse floor from midnight until dawn on weekends.
Live jazz and blues on Thursdays and Fridays at Casablanca Social Club. The waterfront mansion setting and the cocktail programme make it the most civilised live music venue in the city.
The Ano Poli rooftop terrace with Byzantine wall views. Coffee by day, tsipouro and cold drinks by evening. The most atmospheric outdoor bar position in the Upper Town.
