The Ploughman Pub is an "Irish" style pub, with a big wooden bar counter and very friendly staff. Ofcourse, they serve nice Guinness draught beer which is in my opinion the minimum requirement if you like to be called a pub.l, but you don't find very often in Athens. The beers variety could be better. There are so many great Greek option that they can add to the list.
The place overall is good, cozy, with great atmosphere and average prices. I would definitely go back again, but only to drink some beers because it needs some major improvements.
The music choices are a mess, they can try to keep a style at a time, find playlists online (it's so easy nowadays) or at least put some DJs and make thematic days, like Rock Mondays, K-POP Tuesdays (XAXA), Thrash Thursday etc.
Last but not least, the food was bad. It's really bad. No imagination at all and poor execution. I tried the beef burger, and honestly, I could easily give it back. Oily overcooked preboiled french fries and indifferent burger breads combined with a plain beef burger.
Edit: Unfortunately, my opinion after my second visit is worse. They brought us two glasses of water stained with lipstick, and when I asked them to replace them , they brought two other stained with oil. So now I question the overall hygiene of the place. I definitely won't go back...
Read moreFive stars, no doubt. Visited so many bars and pubs in Athens and I can't compare it to any other place. After living in Kifisia for 8 years, I hardly been anywhere and now that I discovered this place, might become a regular here. Too bad I came at a bad timing because of the working hour regulations, would love to see how the night goes in this place. So, off to criticism. Despite the regulations, the outside area had plenty of people. The prices were pretty on as well. Not a huge beer selection but it had all the ones I love the most. The staff was really friendly and down to chat, something that is pretty rare in other bars and pubs I've been to. Music was pretty chill but the server explained the reason. Usually it plays Rock and similar genres. Loved the decoration as well, gives you a proper feeling of a pub. Until next...

Στο τέλος μείναμε 4 άτομα και όταν ζητήσαμε να πληρώσουμε μάς είπαν ότι χρωστάμε και κάποια ποτά από αυτούς που έφυγαν. Τα πληρώσαμε χωρίς αντίρρηση γιατί σκεφτήκαμε ότι κάποιος μπορεί να ξεχάστηκε και να μην πλήρωσε. Την επόμενη μέρα ρώτησα τα άτομα της παρέας και είχαν πληρώσει όλοι!
Πέρασα την Κυριακή βράδυ από εκεί και το είπα στον μπάρμαν, μάλιστα του είπα ότι δεν διεκδικώ κάτι αλλά θα ήθελα να το ξέρουν και να το προσέχουν. Ο μπάρμαν μου είπε ότι θα ενημερώσει τον υπεύθυνο, έφυγε και επέστρεψε μετά από λίγο ζητώντας μου να αφήσω το τηλέφωνό μου για να με πάρει ο υπεύθυνος. Δεν με πήρε κανένας!
Η διπλοχρέωση των ποτών μπορεί να έγινε από λάθος και συγχωρείται, αλλά το να μην μπαίνεις καν στη διαδικασία να ακούσεις ένα παράπονο από τους πελάτες σου...
