Athina PanayiotouDecember 2, 2015Great variety of coctails, especially the ones with gin, all amazing & extraordinary, you don't know which one to choose! Well qualified staff, helpful service & nice atmosphere.Would def visit again!
Dafni - Δάφνη 💙November 7, 2016Really great drinks. And nice service. Approx 120 different kinds of gin, and creative drinks with gin in focus. A bit expensive but it is fine
Marina Noelia CabaneSeptember 25, 2018Lovely atmosphere and great service. A great variety of Gins. Order half negroni to end your night, all of them are delicious and made with love.- George ErotidisNovember 9, 2019Hip bar in the center of Athens. Enjoy a refreshing cocktail based on gin (which is the place specialty) and learn about the history of each different flavor by the super helpful bartenders!
MuratApril 16, 2016Great location, very close to other venues and nightlife spots. Small place, and crowded, especially after 11pm. Great drinks and cocktails, friendly staff, affordable prices. Indoor smoking allowed.
Chris ♊ T.July 14, 2015Tried only the classic gin and tonic, which was absolutely great. There was a special offer Bloom Gin and Fever tree Tonic for 5 euros. Very good service and endless options for cocktails,next time!
Katerina KomninouAugust 10, 2015The place to be if you are a Gin lover!!! However, you can also find a variety of cocktails! Extra tip: ask the the barman to create for you a cocktail based on what you like!

G TJuly 16, 2016Classic spot with solid cocktails. Especially on a weekday that is more quiet and you can really enjoy the care of the bartender
Alexandra JordanMarch 16, 2016The menu was amazing, incorporating several high end gins with interesting ingredients. Only improvement would be adding ginger beer to the list of mixers.

George YannarosFebruary 6, 2015Great choice for gin cocktails! It is small though and early arrival is recommended!
Great music and even better cocktails, just don't ask them to make any adaptions to the drinks, apparently each has a strict, specific, unalterable recipe.
