Ypsilon Thessaloniki

Nightlife with an artistic twist

Alexandros from Thessaloniki

About me I am an urban planner working for Schediasmos, a consulting engineering firm. I was born and raised in Thessaloniki and back in 2004 I started working as a ski instructor so as you can guess I love the nature and the mountains. Besides skiing, I am really passionate about surfing. Why Thessaloniki? I have lived most of my life in Thessaloniki so I ha...
""Ypsilon"is the hottest new entry in Thessaloniki when it comes to coffee, drinking, dining and nightlife. I really appreciate their artistic perspectives."

Ypsilon, a traditional inn from the 19th century and a characteristic example of neoclassical architecture, has become a hot new entry in Thessaloniki’s nightlife! A team of six young entrepreneurs with a background in theater and arts, took upon themselves to restore and renovate the building, aiming for a different approach to coffee, drinking and dining.

The future holds many surprises for the visitor, such as various performances and gigs, but for now the elegant, industrial and minimalistic environment already provides additional treats, such as an exhibition of decoration pieces you can actually buy! The artistic perspective is reflected in every aspect of the place.

The recreational uses of the ground floor and the working spaces of the first floor promise an interesting blend of people and interactions; the founding six made sure to reflect that on Ypsilon’s banner: a rooster on heels!

Try my favorite cocktail, "Adio Guadeloupe", to skyrocket your self-confidence and feel like kissing the Caribbean sea.

It's not easy to describe the types of people you'll meet there and that's a fascinating thing with hot new entries. Just pop in and see what the fuss is all about!

I was born and raised in Thessaloniki and back in 2004 I started working as a ski instructor so as you can guess I love the nature and the mountains. Besides skiing, I am really passionate about surfing. Why Thessaloniki? I have lived most of my life in Thessaloniki so I have formed a strong bond with the city. It's difficult to imagine myself living elsewhere. I love the sense of freedom that is everywhere, the city's close relationship with the sea, the ...

Castello

An epic caffe!

In front of the promenade of Thessaloniki, there are innumerable cafes. The presumable question that a visitor may have is: “Which one should I choose?”. I have the answer! Of course, “Castello”.
