Austin’s New Restaurant & Bar Openings - Austin - The Infatuation

"The Greek Bar is a new Mediterranean restaurant in South Austin. The menu leans classic Greek—with spanakopita, dolmas, and moussaka—but there are a few dishes with modern twists, including a feta-brined fried chicken platter. There’s also a full menu of Greek wines and Mediterranean-inspired cocktails." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs

Best New Restaurants in Austin, July 2025 | Eater Austin

"Married couple Dimitri Karabinis and Daphne Greer opened a casual yet chic Greek restaurant in South Austin at the end of February that pays homage to their Greek heritage. Chef Brian Breach shapes a Mediterranean-heavy menu filled with spreads, mezze, and traditional entrees like lamb chops and moussaka. Diners can indulge in more modern dishes like its Big Fat Greek Fried Chicken — feta-brined chicken served with briami, lohano salata, and local honey." - Courtney E. Smith

The Best New Restaurants In Austin: The Austin Hit List

"The Greek Bar looks like a taverna that’s been airlifted from somewhere along the Mediterranean Sea. What this spot lacks in waterfront scenery—it’s located on a residential stretch of East Oltorf—it makes up for in delicious ouzo- and Greek yogurt-fueled cocktails and tender lamb chops. We could wax poetic about the friendly service, but we need to talk about that lamb. It’s coated in lemon oregano vinaigrette, and it makes us want to live on a farm in Crete. Sit inside or on the patio, and split a handful of plates, starting with the pikilia, a medley of the usual-suspect spreads like tzatziki, spicy whipped feta, and skordalia served alongside housemade pita and pickled vegetables." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, ni

The Greek Bar - Review - South Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

"The Greek Bar looks like a taverna that’s been airlifted from somewhere along the Mediterranean Sea. What this spot lacks in waterfront scenery—it’s located on a fairly residential stretch of East Oltorf—it makes up for with delicious ouzo- and Greek yogurt-fueled cocktails and tender lamb chops. We could wax poetic about the very friendly service, but we need to talk more about that lamb. It’s coated in lemon oregano vinaigrette, and it makes us want to live on a farm in Crete. Sit inside or on the patio, and split a handful of plates, starting with the pikilia, a medley of the usual-suspect spreads like tzatziki, spicy whipped feta, and skordalia served alongside housemade pita and pickled vegetables." - Matthew Jacobs

Cute little spot! Found this restaurant on Infatuation Austin. They have an amazing happy hour. I’d highly recommend it. The tzatziki is pretty much a dip for every dish, so I wouldn’t recommend getting it for an appetizer. The calamari, grape leaves, and mini gyros were delicious! The chicken skewer was so flavorful and juicy. Service was attentive!

The Good: The no frills, "just good quality fresh food" approach is not common enough these days. It was so refreshing to just enjoy a good meal without going broke. It makes me want to return again and again. The Greek Fried Chicken was to die for!! The Meh: I wish our server was a little more attentive to empty plates, refilling water, etc. But it may have just been a hard day.

The banquette seating was VERY comfortable. I loved the firm foam padding, very comfortable. We sat inside in the evening and I think they should lower the lights to set the mood, it felt very bright inside for dinner. It’d definitely give a sexier mood if they lowered the lights. The food was very delicious! The service was very friendly and efficient! Drinks were great!

Overpriced in my opinion for what you get, but it was good. The doughnuts are a must snag if you do go. Drinks were good, service was good. For a pricing review, the pork skewer plate featured in my photos was $22 and the three dip hummus I think was like $22-$25 (can’t remember exactly). Drinks were what you would expect $14-$16. So mainly my 3 stars is I don’t know if my meal was worth the price. Service is great, though!

Great spot in an easy to get to location. The Big Fat Greek Fried Chicken is perfection with it hitting sweet, salty, crunchy and savory in one dish. The outside seating was perfect for a 6:30pm reservation. Mocktails on the menu was a pleasant surprise and they were very tasty!

This is a very cute little restaurant! Loved the decor, the food was all great, and the staff was quick and attentive. The food came out quickly other than the Greek donuts but they were made fresh so I’d rather wait! My only complaints were pretty minor- we were inside and seated right under the fan which I found pretty cold, and the wooden chairs were pretty uncomfortable. Happily I was distracted by the tasty food! We started with the eggplant dip and grilled octopus- the eggplant was good but by far my favorite was the octopus. It had a sort of chimichurri sauce and was mostly very tender- some of the thinner tentacles were a little chewy but most of it was spot on. For mains we got two of the fried chicken- juicy and the honey was a nice addition; a pork skewer and a chicken skewer- both were tender with some char and nicely seasoned; and a moussaka which while maybe a small looking portion was extremely rich and filling! We also got a side of the lemon potatoes and they were a good portion that we all shared. For dessert we had an order of baclava and an order of the donuts; both were very good but I found the donuts a bit doughy inside. I’ve never had them before so maybe that is how they are, but the flavor was good and they were super fresh so I wasn’t complaining. We had a few cocktails, I enjoyed the Mayan something, it was a lot like a cucumber ranch water with a bit of sweetness. We tried a couple of the ouzo ones but personally I’m just not a huge fan of the flavor. Price- for the 5 of us it was about $350 including a 20% tip, so $70/person isn’t cheap but it’s not crazy for apps, drink, main, and dessert. I’d come back, especially if they do a good happy hour!

Stopped in on a Friday a little bit before 5:00 to check out their happy hour, which is M-F 4-6. We appreciate a happy hour you can ACTUALLY go to after work. All the food we ate was WONDERFUL and authentic and took us back to our summer vacation in Greece. We ordered the happy hour spread and the chicken gyro. All amazing. For an entree, we shared the Moussaka since we were not that hungry. I will say it was a lot smaller than expected for the $22 price. Our waitress, Polina, did advise us on the dishes that were shareable and this was not one of them. She was very sweet, attentive, and helpful! Would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a cute vibe with authentic Greek food!

I am so happy we finally have a little Greek spot like this on our side of town. The food is fresh, delicious and the service is extremely kind and welcoming. You can feel that the entire staff really wants this restaurant to succeed. Things we tried: - whipped feta dip 10/10 Yum - fried zucchini croquettes 10/10 double yum. we wanted more sauce which they kindly brought - grilled octopus 9/10 wish it were a bit more grilled yet loved the flavor, very tender and slightly pricy for the amount of octopus you get - the chicken skewer 8/10 the chicken and vegetables themselves were perfectly seasoned and cooked but the accompanying bulgar salad lacked any sauce (citrus? Salt?) and the portion was too small for an entree size At every turn they were there to accommodate and it felt so relaxed. The indoors is also vibey but the weather was really nice so we sat on the patio and shared a wonderful bottle of Greek white wine. It’s up higher so you feel separated from Oltorf and I’d suggest they put up some potted cypress trees along the inside patio edge that would help with noise and summer shades that will come. We can’t wait to return with friends and make this a regular spot.
