A for Athens

A for Athens is a celebrated rooftop cocktail bar and restaurant perched above the A for Athens boutique hotel in Monastiraki, in the historic heart of Athens. Reached directly from the Monastiraki metro station, the sleekly renovated terrace places guests virtually face to face with the Acropolis, with views sweeping out across the Plaka rooftops and the broader Athenian skyline. Open all day from breakfast through to the early morning hours, the menu highlights the best of Greek gastronomy — creative dishes prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients — accompanied by a well-curated wine selection and an Odyssey-themed cocktail menu that pays homage to Greek culture and flavour. Whether arriving for a leisurely brunch, a sunset aperitivo, or a late-night cocktail beneath the ancient citadel, A for Athens offers an inviting and authentically Athenian rooftop experience.
