Athenian night beat 30/3/08
This weekend's bar-crawling report from metropolitan Athens:
Friday the 28th: After an extravagantly hectic working day, I've been invited to devour a few drinks at MG, Mavilis square. Hey, considering my weak mood, it was quite a surprise: wooden surroundings maintaining balance between modern and retro, pretty nice rock-ish soundtrack, some cool obscure greek rock album covers on the wall, and decent cocktails as well! Mojitos were great according to the team; even though I spilled most of it on Maria's shirt -a purely accidental act!- I found real pleasure in the rest of my martini dry coctail...
Saturday, 29th: Found that I could steal an hour for a quick drink at Kafekouti, Exarhia-Solonos. They did a fine job revamping the whole place last year- it is now double the size it was before. Atmosphere: cool, drinks: ok, crowd: fine, music: easily forgetable funk mixes. It's lost a little of it's former coziness though and seems that the owners are focusing on the locals as a primary target group.
Sunday, 30th: It's Sunday and we all need to relax. Let's have another quickie closer to home grounds, at one of the VERY few decent north suburban (or Vou-Pou, if you may) rock bars, Petrogaz @Melissia. Drinks are not that good, we knew that already, so beer is the best option here. Music is great, especially after midnight, and perfectly suits the dark atmosphere. The owner said they will be redecorating for the whole April. I hope they don't change the attitude of this place! we don't have much options up here...
