Noel Athens

You better watch out!

Andreas from Athens

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 ...
"At "Noel" in Athens it feels like Christmas all year round - this bar is just so very happily and elegantly decorated. Tip: try their exquisite cocktails."

Do you enjoy Christmas and are you definitely among the people that would love Christmas to last all year long? If the answer is yes, you might want to visit Noel (Christmas in french), the city's new hyped spot which resides in one of the many and beautiful stoas of the center of Athens.

At Noel holiday bar, you will not encounter a Christmas tree and Christmas lights, but a festive environment with dominant red and gold decorative choices, as well as jazz, soul, and funk music complementing the atmosphere perfectly. Noel is a particularly cozy and welcoming place, where originality concerns even customer service. The working team constitutes of 15 bartenders who are always willing to, besides make unforgettable cocktails, take over waiting duties, giving you the opportunity to choose whatever fits you best. Moreover, besides the cocktails, you will have the opportunity to taste a wide variety of exquisite Greek and foreign wines, as well as extraordinary Italian recipes, a personal choice by the chef himself.

Despite the recent arrival of Noel in town, I can assure you that it has already won my best impressions, and I am sure this will be the case with whoever visits it.

Tip: Try the "Elizabeta" and "Prozac" cocktail!!!

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?�...
