The Clumsies anchors the scene near Plaka and the historic centre, so it is the nearest world-ranked room if you are walking the old town or coming off Ermou.

Dude Cocktail Bar pours in Psyrri, the nearest serious list when you are out among the district's late tavernas and music bars north of Monastiraki.
Dimitriou works the Kolonaki end of the centre, the closest option if you are up by the boutiques, the museums, or the foot of Lycabettus.
Galaxy Bar Old Athens keeps a narrow room near Syntagma Square, the nearest stop if you are by Parliament, the hotels, or the main metro interchange.
The Mansion sits up in leafy Kifisia to the north, the closest serious cocktail room if you are staying in the northern suburbs rather than downtown.
Athens keeps its best cocktail rooms close together in the historic core, so the nearest one usually depends on which district you are in tonight. In Plaka and Monastiraki you have The Clumsies and Tailor Made within a short walk of each other. Psyrri routes to Dude Cocktail Bar, Kolonaki to Dimitriou, Sintagma to Galaxy Bar Old Athens, and Kifisia to The Mansion for the northern suburbs.
