Brick House

Live Music Bar Live Music $$

Brick House sits at Tositsa 11 in Exarchia, eight minutes from Omonia metro. The bar is a long-running blues and soul room and Athens nightlife coverage has flagged it across two decades for the live programme on Friday and Saturday nights.

This is the room for a drinker who came to Athens for live music, not technique-led cocktails. The drinks are simple, the cover is small, and the room rewards a 9pm arrival on a Friday over a 1am walk-in.

Walk in or contact the bar via official channels. For groups or to confirm hours, check the bar's site or social pages.

The space is a single low-ceilinged room with a brick back wall, a small stage along the side, and counter seating that fills by 10pm. Class Magazine's 2023 Athens live-music feature described the room as the most consistent blues stage in central Athens, which matches the read from Google Maps regulars.

Skip elaborate cocktail orders. This is a beer-and-whisky room, not a technique bar.

The crowd is Athens blues regulars in their 30s and 40s before 11pm, then a younger Exarchia mix after the second set. Regulars on r/Athens consistently flag Brick House as the most-recommended live blues room in the centre.
