A cosy jazz 'museum' in the posh area of Kolonaki.

Enjoy vintage jazz in an appropriately smoky environment and have a philosophical chat with Costas the legendary owner.

Avoid telling him that you prefer modern jazz (that's anything after bebop!), he may ask you to leave his bar!

One of the friendliest places in Athens and maybe the only venue for great live jazz music in this city by some of the world's most renowned jazz musicians. The place can be packed on Saturday nights and if Milo Z happens to be around with his band it's going to be just another crazy party!
