    We didn't have food here but we enjoyed our relaxing time on this bar, excellent service of the guy working there in the evening, very friendly and recommended us what to drink. The place is an amazing space well decorated, totally artistic and fabulous to chill out and relax with a beer and friends. As you can see in the video, the entrance looks like a small place but once you are inside, you will find the patio with many tables and the bar, around you can see small art roomms. Definitely a place to visit in Athens.

    We stumbled across The Art Foundation (TAF) in Athens and absolutely loved it. It’s tucked away but opens up into a stunning covered courtyard with loads of character, trees, greenery, and cool architecture all around. The director-style chairs give it a laid-back, artsy vibe, and the atmosphere is just spot on. We had a Beprina Weiss beer, which was great, and the table service came with a smile. The music was really good too, just the right balance of chill and interesting. It’s a perfect place to cool down and relax, even in November (still feels hot to us Brits!). Would definitely recommend popping in for a drink and soaking up the atmosphere.
