Am confused by the pics on the Brettos website. Looks like they have a restaurant side and a bar side maybe. I only saw/went to the bar side. The one with the huge wall of colorful bottles. Night I went it felt a little Spring Break-y. Lots of UK youths Skyping on iPads at the bar. Smokey and loud. This... More

It is VRETTOS actually. It is one of the oldest ouzeries in the Plaka region of Athens. The 1922 catastrophy of Izmir had a great impact on Greece's daily and cultural life. One of it is the Vrettos distillery of Plaka. They even create a myth that the ouzo of the number three barrel was better than the other barrels,... More

It's basically a wine bar with a huge list of Greek wines. When I enquired about particular grapes and wines, the owner and woman who attended me were... More

This is a well know bar, with home brewed ouzo...which was outstanding. In fact I drank too much and paid dearly for it the next day. The crowd buzzed with interesting people and varied conversations. The type of small European bar where you can go alone or in a crowd and feel quite at ease. I definitely recommend a stop... More
