BarroNegro Athens

We went to a few bars in Athens and this was our favourite - the cocktails were so good, we stayed for two! Service was warm and friendly, the bar is cosy intimate and there is some seating outside - just to note, all seating is high tables/chairs. Highly recommend the Verano Azul!

Without doubt the bar I enjoyed the most in Athens. The bartenders were super kind and gave amazing recommendations. The place is a bit smaller than other bars around and it feels like more locals go to it. The mezcal tonic is a must!

Exquisitely crafted, nuanced cocktails with an impressive back bar in tequila and mezcal. Excellent and unobtrusive hospitality.

Out of all the cocktail bars we visited while spending a month in Athens, BarroNegro was the best. From the moment you step inside the open air bar, staff are friendly and guide you through the menu. The cocktails are inspired by Mexico and include tequila or mezcal. My mother-in-law got their popular CDMX Espresso Martini and enjoyed it. For a unique sweet and sour drink, get the Verano Azul. It comes with tequila, melon sorbet, sparking wine, and orange liqueur. It was delicious and unique! To eat, you’re given a small bowl of snacks- peanuts, banana chips, etc.

We arrived late evening on a Monday and were served by Ioanna. She was charming and friendly, keen to make sure we had a good time. It seemed to get off to a rough start after I asked her to mix me up a Mezcal cocktail - she seemed a bit flustered by my loose request - but she pulled through (and then some) with several excellent drinks including one with a head of stout foam. She even kindly replaced one pre-mix drink my wife did not like, and was keen to ensure her tidy-up activities were not disturbing us. The whole time we were there it was quiet, just another couple at a different table. Amazing to have the whole place practically to ourselves given its high rating. Pleased to recommend and thank you, Ioanna, for the great service.

Absolutely great cocktails and fun to discover. Lovely staff and big tequila/mezcal section. For us the atmosphere of the space wasn‘t too crazy, the decoration is more minimal but could need some extra details. We bounced the whole time with our heads to the music, we loved it!

Another amazing cocktail bar in Athens, focused on Mexico. Interesting drinks expertly made with a lot of skill and attention to detail. The signature margarita is excellent but the Lokalism was my favourite. Genius.

The staff were very friendly and cool. The drinks were well-made, and it was interesting to see that they create all of them with tequila or mezcal as the base.
