The rooftop is very nice, an ideal setting for a late summer night's drink with friends or your love. The cocktails are well made, both the classic cocktails and their own signature cocktails. Taste wise their signature cocktails lean towards the bitter side with a few exceptions. We tried the San Tropicano and the Black Forest. The Tropicano tasted sweet and was very good, reminded me of Skyfall Bar's Mastic and Strawberry cocktail with the difference being in the liquor used and the orange juice instead of Strawberry. The Black Forest was good but not great. I expected a little more chocolaty taste. The service was very quick and the personnel was very kind and acted promptly on our requests. All in all a very nice cocktail bar for those summer nights in the center of Athens! They should put a sign on Ermou street to help people locate the entrance with less hassle and searching. Forgot to mention that their prices are very reasonable for the area and the drinks quality. The cocktails ranged from 8 euro to 13 Euro with the average cost being 9-9.5 euro per cocktail. The Black Forest was one of the exceptions with it costing 13 Euro due to the expensive liquor it had. Highly recommended!!!

We visited Couleur Locale cafe in Athens some days ago and it was a fantastic experience. The cafe is situated on a beautiful terrace with a breathtaking view of the Acropolis. The ambiance was lovely and serene, and it made for the perfect place to relax and unwind. We ordered a juice, coffee, and milkshake, and all of them were delicious. The juice was freshly squeezed and packed with flavor, the coffee was rich and aromatic, and the milkshake was creamy and indulgent. The menu had a great variety of options, and all of the ingredients were of high quality. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was excellent. They were knowledgeable about the menu and were able to recommend great options. Overall, I highly recommend Couleur Locale cafe to anyone visiting Athens. The terrace with a view of the Acropolis is a real highlight, and the drinks and food are top-notch. It's a great spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful views of Athens

Eclectic bar scene with a view. On a recent trip to Athens, I had Googled «best bars with a view» and found this. Firstly, it’s a little challenging to find at first! When you walk down the alley/street, keep an eye to look into the buildings on your left to find their illuminated sign. Then, take the elevator or climb the stairs to the rooftop. Once there, try to get someone’s attention if it’s busy; so they know to help you find a table as there isn’t a host/main person. We had a few cocktails and out of them LOVED the ELYSIAN - delicious. We also had their fries which were pretty tasty, but main highlight was the drinks. The bar overall had a great vibe with people of all ages and backgrounds, the perfect spot for anyone. As the sun started to set and the music got louder, it was a great pre-dinner drink and place to unwind after a day of tours. A must-do on your next trip to Athens !

One of the most unique places in Athens. View of Acropolis. Great coffee and amazing pancakes. Well every place has its cons and at Couleur Locale is the Service. The problem is that there is too little staff to handle too many customers. The last 2 time I went I ordered an Americano Coffee and specifically asked the waitress to fill it with water up to the top and both times I had just a double espresso as an result (No added Water). Also the food takes a little more time that I would like to get ready, But all of that can be fixed with a greater organisation and some staff hiring. In the end of the day if the weather is good is one of the most unique places in Athens for Coffee

Nightly from the rooftop bar, the relentless onslaught of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) became a never-ending source of irritation with its relentless barrage of pulsating beats. They managed to transform the setting into a cacophonous nightmare of repetitive, monotonous music. . The pulsating music, audible from our hotel three minutes away until the early morning, served as a jarring reminder of the intrusion of man-made noise into what could have been a sanctuary of peace and tranquility. . For those seeking a respite from the day's sightseeing, this sonic assault was an unwelcome, dissonant experience that marred the otherwise serene beauty of the the view of the Acropolis.

Lovely little roof top bar with some surprisingly amazing and unexpected views of the acropolis. The snacks with the cocktails were abundant and the drinks themselves very, very good. Appreciate any place that sits you down with some water immediately (something we took for granted as always being the case in Athens but it wasn't!). I really liked that this place was kind of hidden away, it felt like a special little secret that we got to experience in a short visit to the city. Drinks were perhaps steeper in price than we experienced elsewhere (only slightly) but I think the experience made up for it.
