Probably not a place for somebody on a tight budget, since the drinks are pricy (most of the cocktails cost about €7-10), but at the same time so tasty that you won't be able to stop ordering more. And that can easily take you overbudget in a place like this. The music is interesting and the crowd is very good-looking and quite fancy. Read more ›

The building, where this cafe-bar is located, is actually a movie theatre, which also hosts the famous film and documentary festivals of Thessaloniki.
