Bad Tooth Athens

Feelin' lucky, punks?

""Bad Tooth" is punk rock temple in the nightlife heart of Athens. Anyone can have a good time here, whether they're a true punk fan or not!"

I have to be honest with you, guys. I'm not really into punk. Never was and never will be. So, at first, when Bad Tooth came into the scene in the nightlife heart of Athens a couple of years ago, I didn't pay too much attention.

Then I visited it. It felt kind of off -- a brand-new punk bar plastered with strategically placed, cookie-cutter graffiti? The whole tattiness felt pre-designed and staged.

But then, you know what they say: "if you build it, they will come". That's what happened with Bad Tooth. It was built as a "temple" for punk rockers, and now it is a temple for punk rockers -- and not only.

It's actually a favorite of my friends from high school. They like coming here for the draft Grimbergen and the lively vibe. They're no punks by any stretch of the imagination, but this place doesn't care about your punk-o-meter: it's a come-as-your-are place for an ear-splitting night out.

So, after years of begrudgingly following my friends here time after time, I finally have to face the truth: I've started to like this place, its loud music and "don't give a fuck" attitude.

BTW: the music breaks away from the usual Ramones or, I don't know... other old punk bands. So, if your own punk tooth is exceptionally sharp, you won't be disappointed.

Who knows -- maybe you'll like it too. If not, there are tons of other crowded places around Monastiraki & Psyrri to choose from.

Lefteris o Politis

Simply delicious souvlaki

A well-cooked pita, a juicy burger, tomato, and onion are a unique and tasty combination. It is the epitome of delicious simplicity.

Talking Breads

Talking about street food

My favourite burger is the Bacon Mushroom Melt, and my favourite sandwich is the Tika, which is slightly spicy and causes a chain of flavour explosions!

Shedia

Human is the answer

Shedia is heavily focused on sustainability and inclusivity: pets have their own menu, the menu is also offered in Braille, and the oil used is produced by the Niarchos park trees and then recycled.

Teras

A pretty monster

Teras is full of contradictions: it is unconventionally named (teras means 'monster' in greek) in an ugly way but it is one of the most beautiful places to enjoy your drink.

Although Kalos Aeras is located on a busy road, there is no noise penetrating the leafy veranda, and stepping into the house is like time-traveling back to the 60s.
