Skate bowl cafe with music selection and DIY culture
"An open-air skate-bowl garden-shed space, Latraac blends a laid-back café vibe with experimental electronic music, DJ sets, occasional gigs, and a plywood skate bowl designed and built by skater-architect Zachos Varfis. You can hang out in the garden with a spiked apricot soda or a Latraac Mule and watch skaters until the ramp closes at 10:30; Latraac operates May to October, and patrons migrate to nearby cultural venues in the off-season." - Rachel Howard, Katie Silcox
"In a derelict empty lot in the trendy-but-scruffy neighborhood of Kerameikos, architect and sometime skateboarder Zarchos Varfis saw potential: In summer 2017 (after some serious crowdfunding, connecting, and fundraising) he opened Latraac, a curvy plywood skate bowl he designed for the lot, and a "skate café" toexist alongside it. The skate bowl is free for the public to use; it also serves as a performance and event space. Latraac has fast become a popular hangout and a symbol of the DIY culture cropping up amidst the city’s ongoing economic crisis."
"Latraac is a hybrid cafe and skate park built by architect Zachos Varfis, transforming into a dance floor as the night progresses."
