Brettos

We entered the bar, and sat down. We looked though the menu and waited for one of the bartenders. There were only a few other couples inside. The bar is small but very unique. They have a large selection of drinks and cocktails. We unfortunately we're unable to order as no one attended to us. We left after about 10 mins.

Unique distillery with amazing atmosphere. They offer a large selection of drinks, as well as wine a spirit tastings. Underneath is a small shop that offers natural produce like honey, sweets, olives and wine.

We didn’t get any food her but the bar is fantastic. One of the most unique places I’ve ever been and so many different home made liqueurs to try. If you’re in Athens this place is a MUST visit. I still regret not buying one of the liqueurs to take home- just means we gotta go back!!

I absolutely loved my time at Bretto's Bar! The unique selection of drinks and liqueurs and the cozy atmosphere made it a memorable experience. Definitely a must-visit for anyone in the city!

Visiting Brettos Bar in Athens' charming Plaka neighborhood was a vivid highlight of my trip. You can't miss the stunning backlit wall of hundreds of colorful bottles—it’s truly mesmerizing and perfect for photos . Originally founded in 1909 as Greece's oldest distillery, Brettos still crafts its own ouzo, brandy, tsipouro, and more than 36 flavored liqueurs using centuries‑old Smyrna family recipes . Inside, the atmosphere is warm and nostalgic, thanks to wooden barrels, stone walls, and a friendly, rustic vibe. I popped in mid‑afternoon when it was quieter and loved getting expert recommendations from the bartender—sampling everything from Mastika to quadruple‑distilled ouzo and rakomelo was a delight . The staff were super helpful, passionate, and excellent at guiding me through the vast menu. One reviewer noted, “The staff is super helpful and energetic, always ready to assist you while you enjoy your drinks” . That energy really shines in person. Brettos also offers a fine selection of over 160 Greek wines, plus cocktails and beers. Seating is cozy—inside and out—and perfect either for a leisurely afternoon tasting or an evening drink stop. It’s the kind of place where both locals and travelers mingle, offering an authentic taste of Greek hospitality . Highly recommended for lovers of fine spirits, vibrant décor, and friendly service. Whether you're snapping photos or savoring homemade spirits, Brettos is a must‑visit gem in Athens!

Stumbled on this while walking through Athens. Such an unexpected GEM and happy to find. If you like ouzo, liquors/spirits of just about any flavor, and draft beer this is the place to go. They even have limoncello 😜

Nice to sit outside (with a fan) and sample ouzo. Service was helpful and efficient. We turned up and grabbed a table straight away out front - I am sure that doesn't happen every time!

We popped in for drinks and although it is a small space, found two seats no issue. We tried their middle of the road (based on alcohol content) Ouzo - outstanding!! So tasty we had two.. which made for a good start to the night!
