World-class cocktails with creative flair in a quirky setting

"Spread across three stories of a 1919 townhouse, this intimate, elegant bar feels like an upscale house party where you can choose a snug corner sofa in a private atrium or sit at the bar to watch the mixology show; after 11 years it remains beloved for its craft cocktails, many of which change annually. In 2025 the menu centers on a “Species Unlimited” theme that pairs unexpected ingredients—one example being the Café Flamma, made with Greek Metaxa, burnt tomatoes, cold brew, and cardamom—showcasing creativity and inclusivity." - Rachel Howard, Katie Silcox

"A short stroll from Baba au Rum, this globally lauded bar is where Athens’s cocktail renaissance hit critical mass—destination drinking without the attitude." - Rachel Howard

"The Remy Martin Legend of the List Award went to The Clumsies in Athens."

"A rooftop cocktail party featuring flights from an acclaimed Athens cocktail bar, showcasing Mediterranean-inspired drinks (Aegean Negroni, Mediterranean Gimlet, and other creative cocktails) and a DJ in a lakeside urban rooftop setting." - Naomi Waxman

"The Clumsies is a popular downtown cocktail spot known for its vibrant atmosphere."
