The place is pretentious and the stuff not friendly at all. No effort to fascilitate us and no professionalism.

Amazing spot to have a nice lunch and a glass a fine wine. The food was exceptional. I had the sea bass ceviche which was so delicious and the serving size was generous. It’s a great place to partake in a very expensive wine that...you always wanted to try but couldn’t afford. The thing I liked the best was the service. The manager, Luccia who was very pleasant and friendly although she was extremely busy , waiting on both outside and inside tables. What a gem she is! I hope the owner realizes this. If ever in Athena’s again , I will definitely return.More

9-12€ for a glass of wine (actually not bad), and the waiter bring every single glass served from the bar. Come on! In the worse tavern for a 2€ glass of wine you expect for a table serving. So seedy! So rude! 12€ glass and...you cant see what you are going to pay for. Seriously??? No more ;)More

An impromptu stop on a hot October afternoon for a glass or two of wine. Tried Greek Orange Wine, one unfiltered, natural, and produced in the traditional way. Very pleasant and informed service.

We've eaten here both inside in the arcade area and outside in the square by the old church mainly because we stay at InnAthens which is through the arcade (although I understand that the restaurant is unrelated to the hotel). Food has always been looked...and tasted great, service also good with attention to detail and wines either by the bottle or by the glass have always been good recommendations based on our price point, preferred character of wines etc. I've learnt a lot about Greek wines and been impressed by them - just a shame we can't buy any of our favourite wine list vintages in the UK. Nice locations, inside can be a bit noisy when busy, blankets have been provided outside when cold in the past. Best to reserve on Friday/Saturday/Sunday nights as it's busy.More

After returning from plaka we ended up at this wine bar… We had the chance to try different types of wine and cheese and they were perfect. I think the prices could’ve been better though 😏

By the glass is our most favorite wine venue in all of Athens Greece… The extremely knowledgeable sommelier, epic Mediterranean cuisine along with atmospheric venue makes for a perfect lunch or dinner. We’d suggest ordering the amazing Greek wines and enjoying this lovely venue!

We ate at By the Glass our first night in Athens, somewhat jet lagged but wanting to try Greek wines. The sommelier there was very helpful and educated us on varietals. Even brought the bottles out so we could take pictures of the ones we...liked. Dinner of Greek meatballs with tzatziki was delicious and more than enough to absorb the good wines. Very casual, would recommendMore
