About Barro Negro
A love letter to agave spirits and Mexican drinking culture, with a farmhouse feel. A huge mezcal and tequila list and superb agave cocktails. 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 Barro Negro before you go.
