The Clumsies

Athens, Greece

Located in the heart of Athens, The Clumsies has established itself as a cornerstone of the city's vibrant bar scene since its inception in 2014. Founded by acclaimed bartenders Vasilis Kyritsis and Nikos Bakoulis, both Greek World Class Winners, the bar has garnered international acclaim, consistently securing a spot in the World's 50 Best Bars list, including a notable ranking at No. 47 in 2023. Housed within a grand neoclassical townhouse, The Clumsies offers a multifaceted experience across its three levels. The interior exudes a blend of homeliness and sophistication, featuring cozy lounges, a billiards room, and a dedicated space known as "The Room," which accommodates private gatherings of up to ten guests. This exclusive area boasts amenities such as a fireplace, a curated selection of vinyl records, and personalized service from award-winning mixologists. The bar's cocktail program is a testament to creativity and precision. Each year, the team unveils a new menu that pushes the boundaries of traditional mixology. A standout creation is the "Mediterranean Gimlet," which artfully combines Star of Bombay gin with a Greek salad cordial made from slow-cooked tomato water, cucumber, red pepper, olives, and oregano, garnished with dehydrated leaven. Beyond its innovative cocktails, The Clumsies serves modern Greek cuisine, offering patrons a harmonious blend of flavors that complement the drink offerings. The establishment's commitment to hospitality ensures that guests feel both welcomed and valued, contributing to its reputation as a must-visit destination in Athens.
