A Plaka cocktail room run by veterans of The Clumsies, leaning on Greek spirits and an under-30 cocktail list.
Holy Spirit sits at Karageorgi Servias 18 in Plaka, Syntagma metro. The room is a Plaka cocktail bar run on a tight programme, and the Athens English-language press has covered the bar repeatedly across 2023 and 2024.
This is the bar for a drinker who wants Plaka after dark without a Plaka tourist tax. Regulars on r/Athens consistently flag the room in nightlife threads, and the programme rewards a reservation on weekend nights and a walk-in on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Walk in or contact the bar via official channels. For groups or to confirm hours, check the bar's site or social pages.
The room is a single rectangular space on Karageorgi Servias with a counter facing the back wall and two banquettes along the side. The bar's own materials describe the venue as a project by ex-Clumsies team members; Class Magazine's 2024 Athens coverage confirmed the lineage and called the bar one of the city's most-anticipated openings.
Skip menu modifications. The list is intentionally short and the bar runs it strictly.
The crowd is mid-30s Athenian cocktail regulars before 10pm and a mixed Greek-foreign wave after. Regulars on r/Athens flag Holy Spirit as the most-recommended Plaka bar for serious cocktails without the queue at The Clumsies a few blocks away.
