About Baba Au Rum

A long-time fixture of the world rankings with more than 400 rums. Tiki-tinged, rum-forward cocktails and a lively crowd in the heart of the centre. Syntagma is the heart of modern Athens, around the square facing the Parliament, where the Evzones guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier; Ermou, the main shopping street, and the National Garden start here, and the metro runs straight to the airport. Athens nights start late, with bars filling after 22:00 and many staying open into the small hours.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Baba Au Rum before you go.
