Klimataria opened as a wine-and-cookhouse in 1927, on a corner of Plateia Theatrou between the Varvakeios market and the old leather workshops of Psyrri. Its own history records that rebetiko was played here in its early decades, and since 1996 it has been run by Pericles, himself a musician, who brought live music back to the room. The kitchen stays traditional: bread baked on site, slow-cooked gastra dishes from pots in the courtyard, and the house wine. Music starts at 21:30 midweek and later at weekends. Our advice: book a table for Friday or Saturday, order the gastra and stay until the band hits its stride.
