15 Best Cocktail Bars in Athens

“Delicious food!!! I look forward to my next meal there.“

“I had a wonderful experience dining at the Expat. We ordered the bread service and charcuterie board which came with an assortment of cheeses and meats. The board was absolutely delicious, and the bread was nice and crispy. We also got different pastas, including the Tagliatelle, Black Ink, and the bacon one. They were all very good👍. Service was good and a decent wait time for the food.“

“The food was outstanding- particularly the appetizer dishes. The environment was delightful. The restaurant was poorly managed, however. The bar was fully occupied by employees of the restaurant in their work clothes. Not great optics for a space with an amazing chef and a lovely environment. That said, I would return for the appetizers.“

“Slater's is an excellent lunch spot for a Friday (one of only two days they serve it). Burgers came out generously sizes and the mountain of french fries and onion rings makes this a fantastic value. Just wish I had the time to wash it down with one of their well above average cocktails. Maybe next time!“

“They actually have multiple mocktail options for those who don’t drink alcohol (such as myself). I really appreciate this, as The Old Pal is a cozy place I like to go to with my friends after rehearsal. Please keep making new mocktails! They are much appreciated.“

“Hasn’t changed in decades and doesn’t need to.“

“Good place to hang out and it's a hit & miss with the bartenders & how the drinks are made. Last time drinks sucked but this time they were great!“

“Great service. Great atmosphere. The food was lacking. Biscuit was overly salty. Sausages were cold in the center. Eggs were not seasoned (which is fine, you’d just have to ask for salt a pepper). The duck taters were good but greasy, but deliciosu. Would come back again, but would order something else.“

“We were blown away by Indigo Road Hospital Group's latest creation Osteria Olio in the Rivet House in Athens Ga. Brenda and I were staying at the Rivet House to attend the Georgia Tennessee game and ended up eating dinner and brunch at Osteria every night and day. Steve Palmer who we met there has hit a home run with Osteria Olio a 5 star gourmet dining experience. AJ is the star host/manager who gave us a great table every time, the food was delicious including bone in New York Strip for me and the Spaghetti Alla Bolognese for Brenda. My steak and eggs at breakfast was the best I ever had in my life. The Martinis were perfectly mixed by bartender Graham. The vibe at dinner was subdued elegance with stunning well dressed customers all feeling blessed to be dining in a such a beautiful built-out space. Thank you Indigo Road Hospitality for giving Athens Osteria Olio which has now joined the A-list of gourmet dining experiences in Athens.“

“We stopped here for lunch and had the most lovely authentic food. It felt like we were in a wine bar in Italy itself and the owner explained lots of the recipes are his great grandmothers. Amazing quality ingredients and we couldn’t get over the olives and tomato bread“
