Baba au rum captures the spirit of Athens’ Nightlife

There is no better way to relax after a long day at work than with a luscious cocktail. Since its opening in 2009, Baba au rum has become one of the ultimate destinations for the Rum lovers.

This true gem is situated in a pedestrian street in the heart of the historical center of Athens. Its door leads you to a dimly lit space populated with an eclectic mix of vintage elements. With its retro design and the funky ambiance, it helps you travel somewhere in New Orleans.

The bar is bold and captivating, while Jazz and Soul tunes elevate your mood. The cocktails are delicate in both flavor and presentation, an epitome of sophistication. The spirits menu is influenced by futurism and modernism, along with the homemade syrups and bitters.

With other words, at Baba au rum you can trust you’re in good hands. Not surprisingly, it has earned the best cocktails bar in Athens prize. It is also included in the world’s 50 best bars. This is, without a doubt, the place that you can taste the classic Caribbean rum and other handpicked spirits from all over the world.

Ask the bartenders for recommendations based on the tastes you like. They will mix the organic local herbs, together with exotic spices and they will create the most imaginative drinks possible.

My favorite cocktail is the Spicy Baba No. 7. Not being too spicy or sweet, along with the flavors of the berries and the sour lime makes it irresistible.
