Overview

Bars & Nightlife The guide was updated: 2025-12-25

Patras reveals a multifaceted nightlife scene that unfolds across distinct districts, each with its own character. The city's historic heart beats along the pedestrian thoroughfare of Riga Fereou, lined with energetic pubs and bars, while the surrounding plazas offer a more relaxed mix of traditional ouzeri and modern cocktail spots. For atmospheric drinks with a view, head to the steep lanes near the Kastro or the trendy Marina. The youthful energy congregates on Trion Navarchon, and for late-night dancing with a seaside backdrop, the outskirts of Rio deliver. From intimate jazz clubs and craft beer haunts to bustling meze tavernas and open-air summer clubs, the city offers a compelling after-dark journey.

The interior provides plenty of room to settle in, and the regular live events, especially on Sundays, draw a lively crowd. It’s a definitive spot in the city centre for a casual, sociable evening.

Notos

Notos

Tucked away a block from King George I Square, Notos is an intimate jazz bar that feels like a stylish, atmospheric time capsule of a 1920s jazz club. Inside, a moody red-lit interior with low lighting sets the stage for savvy music selections. The focus is on expertly crafted, inventive cocktails rather than standard bar fare, served by notably friendly and attentive staff. It's a dedicated spot for those seeking a sophisticated, non-pretentious evening defined by quality drinks and a timeless jazz vibe.

Bodegas

Where Patras's famous central street, Gounari, crosses the pedestrian Riga Fereou, Bodegas established itself as the city's first exclusive restaurant-wine bar. Its distinctive decor, featuring upside-down bicycle wheels and a striking glass construction, sets a unique, modern stage. The open kitchen presents a menu of Greek classics with a contemporary twist, using seasonal European ingredients, with dishes like ribeye and liver earning high praise. Complemented by an extensive 200-label wine list, it offers a polished yet intimate dining experience right in the heart of the city.
