Rank 6. Odori
Cocktail Bar
Odori built its reputation around vermouth at a time when Athens wasn't paying much attention to it, and the bar has been pulling that thread ever since. Large French windows open onto terrace tables, while inside golden counters, verdant wallpaper, and ornate birdcages create a room that feels like it belongs on a different continent. The drinks list roams through vermouth varieties and brands, including the bar's own, with an eye toward low-ABV and aperitif drinking.

Rank 7. A for Athens
Cocktail Bar
The rooftop cocktail bar perched above the Monastiraki flea market with the Acropolis filling the horizon is doing a lot of heavy lifting on its own, but the menu still tries to keep up. Drinks are organized around ideas, love and hope and realism, which is either pretentious or charming depending on how many you've had. The spirits range widely, with small Greek breweries and local wines keeping things grounded.

Rank 8. Avra Bar
Cocktail Bar
The marble bar and mirrored walls are doing a lot of work, but it's the sea-facing terrace, where gimlets meet a setting sun over the Aegean, that tends to settle the argument. This cocktail bar sits inside the Four Seasons Astir Palace and takes it seriously, with a forward-looking menu developed by a bartender whose CV runs through some serious London rooms. A Regional Top 10 Honoree at the Spirited Awards for Best International Hotel Bar in Europe.

Rank 11. Purovōku Project
Creative Cocktail Bar
A neon sign reading "Who made the rules?" hangs above the bar at this creative cocktail spot tucked down an alley beside Thessaloniki's Bezesteni Market. The interior is spare, lit by a chaotic tangle of fluorescent tubes, and the whole operation runs on a zero-waste philosophy that shapes the suppliers, the ingredients, and the drinks. It holds a Pinnacle Guide pin and a 50 Discovery nod, which feels about right for a place that's asking pointed questions via signage.
