Barbaben was first introduced to us in 2019 as an “urban beach bar”, which was meant to make a difference and put its own signature on the entertainment scene of eastern Thessaloniki. It is located on the corner of Konstantinou Karamanli Avenue and Katsimidi Street and will impress you from the start with its unique exotic decoration, with bamboo dominating and bright colors giving their own touch of vibrancy and summer.

In the gray urban landscape, Barbaben is an oasis of greenery, an ideal escape from everyday life, with a cool philosophy that all its patrons naturally embrace.

For those of us who are “initiated”, Barbaben is the place we wait all year to open its doors, as it operates from April until the first cold weather begins in the city and the end of summer carefreeness is formally “declared”.

Ideal “escape” from morning to night

Barbaben is an ideal meeting-point from early morning until the early hours. Relax in its comfortable armchairs and enjoy your coffee or a smoothie accompanied by a rich brunch menu, with choices that will pique your interest.

The sweet pancakes and egg-based recipes are among our most favorite, while it is worth noting that brunch here lasts from 12 noon to 8 pm! Because here the cool philosophy is reflected in everything and this has won us over…

In addition, on its menu you will find yogurt bowls, salads made from seasonal ingredients, sandwiches with brioche or tortilla, as well as the beloved Barbaben club sandwich, which is also its bestseller. Fresh and extremely filling, made with top quality ingredients – just like all its products.

Cocktails as a “flagship”

Cocktails are our favorite summer choice for our evening outings and at Barbaben they are their “flagship”! Its experienced bartenders will prepare you classic, as well as signature cocktails, with unique combinations of flavors and aromas.

Furthermore, you will be thrilled by the glasses in which your cocktails will be served, as they are particularly imaginative and truly exotic!

Among the highlights of Barbaben, we could not help but add that although it is an “urban beach bar”, you will not hear loud music, but rather musical choices that will relax you, to calm down from the hustle and bustle of the city and chat comfortably with your friends.

Barbaben is a real oasis of coolness and greenery in the urban fabric, which offers us moments of tranquility, fun and renewal. Indulge in its cool philosophy and see summer in the city with a different eye!

Tip: Barbaben operates Sunday to Thursday from 10 am to 1:30 am, and on Friday and Saturday until 2 am.
