Batman Athens

Originally Greek

Andreas from Athens

""Batman" (est. 1989) is a legend, a bar of great importance - you never know who you might run into, or how you'll end up! Important: it opens at 22:00..."

This bar is a very exceptional case. First of all you have to wait until 22:00 when it opens and second you never know how your night will end. Batman started to operate in 1989 in Athens and it offers original Greek entertainment. At the bar you will meet the owner who is a barman and DJ and plays Greek music and rembetiko. Some days there are other DJs who also play the same repertoire.

Many customers are musicians, writers and bohemian faces all up for socializing. It is very normal to have a drink next to some famous Greek artist. There is no special drink to order apart from beer, wine and whiskey. But the thing that makes Batman so special is the unexpected things that occur. Over the years there have been historic live performances by great artists here.

Give it a try and visit this bar and maybe you will be lucky and live this experience. If that doesn't happen you can at least enjoy the atmosphere of authentic Greek fun.

Tip: Usually it is overcrowded, so prepare to get close with your company ;)

Athens Spotter Andreas

About me I was born in Koln, grew up in northern Greece, studied in Crete and finally landed in Athens for work reasons in 2006. For up to 6 years now I've worked in the music industry and I have attended over 500 concerts throughout the Attica. My friends consider me as a very sociable person, although I am not sure about it... What I am sure of is that I am a restless spirit that loves to go around a lot and discover new places all the time. I'm curious to explore every door… and most of the time I find something very interesting behind it ;-). Why Athens?�...
