The Bitters Bar
Prohibition-style speakeasy in the gallery behind Lions Square
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed May 2026
Tucked into a small arcade behind the Lions fountain at the Eleftherias/Korai end of the centre, The Bitters Bar is a 1920s-inspired speakeasy with bitters-driven cocktails and a jazz-blues soundtrack. It runs brunch by day and a DJ-curated evening, and is consistently rated among the best cocktail bars in the city. Atmosphere and craft over flash.
