GO OUT FOR SOME WINDOW SHOPPING AND FIND THE BOYS YOU LIKED ONLINE - THE GREEK WAY
Once you’re done with Acropolis and all the ancient buff sculptures and night has come - it’s time to have some (drunk) fun!
I knew that everything in south of the Europe is very late - dinner, drinks, dancing. My friends from Germany and Thailand and I went out for dinner around 9pm, which was fine - enough time to have a drink, rest, digest, and shower before the stronger drinks and some dancing.
As this was the first time in Athens for all of us (and nobody wrote a post about this city for this blog yet) I had to figure out our plan the old way - chatting with better looking boys on Grindr and other apps. Greek boys are super friendly (online) - the tip for the first stop was great - COULEUR LOCALE. Even though that’s a straight place - it’s the perfect roof top bar for the first drinks - world class cocktails with a view of Acropolis.
After certain amount of alcohol in our blood we headed towards the Gazi area - that’s where all the night stuff happens (both straight and gay). The first stop - THE APARTMENT CLUB. We came obviously too early as it took a while to see more people coming (it’s so hard when everything happens so late). Let me start with a good side - it’s a modern venue and drinks are strong (pretty expensive though). It’s pretty unique as outside windows opens and you basically sip on your drink or dance outside, which is great in a hot climate. All the other things… Oh well - they should drop the word ‘club’ from the name - it’s definitely more a bar, or at the best case - dancing bar.
We didn’t stay there long as we definitely wanted to check the locals’ favorite club - SODADE 2. I loved it! There are two rooms: pop and electro. It gets super packed in the pop room, so take a break, have a drink in the darker room (not to be mistaken - not a dark room per se).The only problem - people do smoke there. It’s one of the places where the boys will look very shy, but always smile and be super friendly. Hardly anyone will say hi, we ended up doing shots and chatting with the bartender. However when I came home got multiple messages online saying - ‘hey, I saw you SODADE 2'. Right… Sadly we had to leave rather early (on Greek standards) as my Thai friend got hammered. Maybe local boys become more forward at the dawn…
I totally loved the city and SODADE 2, can’t wait to come back! So - the ratings!:
