All-day cocktail bar on Karneadou in Kolonaki from the 42 team, with clear ice, proper glassware, classic cocktails and food from breakfast.
42 Bar is on Karneadou in Kolonaki, the upmarket neighbourhood on the slopes of Lycabettus. Athinorama calls 42 the emblematic bartending brand of Athens, included the Kolonaki bar among the new openings of 2025, and describes it as a big-city European bar that put on trainers and came down to the centre.
The approach is the basics done properly: clear ice, the right glassware and the right ingredients. The menu has carefully chosen spirits, classics and signatures with earthy notes and house-made blends, and the kitchen serves food and breakfast. Evangelismos metro (L3) is a short walk. Not for you if you want a late party: it is a bar for a proper drink.
