This club has been open for decades and is as popular now as it was
the day it opened, jam packed with customers every night. This Athenian
Studio 54, like the famous NYC 80's ciub, is a modern Greek myth, as
giants from the city's social scene come here to dance, drink and flirt.
What sets this bar apart is its chameleon-like character, with every room
changing as the night progresses. Each evening there is a new DJ or
musician on the club's eclectic programme, each with their own unique
performing style. Extravagant themes and music styles for the Sunday
night programmes are truly remarkable. A 22 club favourite is the theme
Revenge of the 80s. Stimulating local young talent and continual
evolution and renewal are key factors in the concept of this popular
Greek bar.

Walking into this classic pub is like travelling back in time to a New York
'speak-easy' during the Prohibition era or a Berlin cabaret from the 1930s.
The large room with high-ceilings, the mirrors along the dark walls and the
overwhelming use of red velvet transport you to the mysterious past. Rock
'n Roll has for many years been one of the best pub outlets in Athens.
Jorgos Pitsilis, the bar's owner, explains his entrance policy is very strict in
order to preserve the character of his patronage—contemporary rebels
without a cause, modern-day James Deans who don't want to look like their
rich fathers, and will discover the world in their own way. Typically
Heineken!
