From what I could tell during my recent visit to the Greek capital, Athenians are as friendly as anyone and love a sociable drink as much as they love showing visitors how awesome their city is. When you go, consider bending an elbow at one of these fine watering holes.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nDrunk Sinatra<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>16 Thiseos, 10562<\/em><br \/>\nHands down Drunk Sinatra is one of the greatest names for a bar EVER! This cavernous drinking establishment with a retro feel and a good amount of outdoor space seemed to be the place to be the night I visited. Go for the drinks plus the smiling faces, dancing in the corridors and a very chilled out attitude. They do burgers too. The bar has its own website at <a href=\"http:\/\/drunksinatra.gr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">drunksinatra.gr<\/a>, but non Greek speakers might find its Facebook page a little easier to navigate: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/drunk.sinatra.bistro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">facebook.com\/drunk.sinatra.bistro<br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>The Dude Bar<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>14 Kalamiotou, 10560 Athens, Greece<\/em><br \/>\nLooking for a laid back joint where you can enjoy a White Russian? Dude, this is the place. I loved this bar. An excellent DJ was there on my visit sharing an enviable collection of vinyl featuring everything from mid 80s Cure to early 60s soul\u2026and a whole lot of punk rock in between. Find the Dude on Facebook at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theDUDEbar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">facebook.com\/theDUDEbar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Explorers Lounge<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Mezzanine floor of the NJV Athens Plaza Hotel<br \/>\n2 Leoforos Vasileos Georgiou at Syntagma (Constitution Square), 10564<\/em><br \/>\nLocated inside the amazingly placed NJV Athens Plaza hotel near Constitution Square and with views of the Agora, this bar&#8217;s a little more \u201cgrown up\u201d and \u201cold school\u201d than the three others listed. Looking for a plush green leather Chesterfield to sink into when enjoying your tipple? Then here is where you want to drink.

If it&#8217;s any indication of what Six Dogs is like, indie rock band Of Montreal was slated to play there soon after I&#8217;d paid my visit. Oh well.
