A large bar, vintage tiles, brick walls, a wooden staircase leading to the upper floor and a rock atmosphere, are the main characteristics of “Dizzy Dolls” which, since 1995, has been operating continuously on 5 Egiptou Street, in Ladadika.
Shortly before completing 30 years of life, the favorite rock bar of patrons not only from Thessaloniki, but also from all over Greece and abroad, is making… a turn to the past and gradually returning to the day it first opened. What does this mean? More alternative and 90s sounds, but also decoration that comes again to find its place in the space, coming out of the chest of memories. However, “Dizzy Dolls”, refuses to “get old”… As the years go by, the younger and fresher becomes the team that works in the bar and its service.
“Dizzy Dolls” is a constant value in Ladadika and throughout the city of Thessaloniki. Countless rock nights have been held in the preserved, two-story building where it has been welcoming people since its first day of operation, with people of all ages.
Its leather, high stools, its large, marble bar, its rich wine cellar, the whole aesthetics of the place, comparable to a classic rock bar that respects itself – even if it started as a jazz hangout – create the ideal atmosphere, for absolute rock experience.
It is one of the nicest places for rock entertainment in the area, as it is also the oldest, the one that brought rock music to Ladadika, covering its entire spectrum, from old classic rock, to all modern sounds and bands and having passed from all the musical currents that have mediated since the 90s. Today it covers the whole range of rock, continuing the jazz selections, which make it timeless.
Names such as drummer Marky Ramone and the guitarist of “Guns ‘n Roses” Tommy Stinson have passed through its stage, while the bar itself has been a setting for events and for classic films of Greek cinema, such as “It’s a long road”, by Pantelis Voulgaris.
The… new generation of “Dizzy Dolls”
In 2025, “Dizzy Dolls” will complete 30 consecutive years of operation. Its team consists, today, of young people, who will serve you with a smile and make sure to give something of their vitality to the space every day. It is the new generation of this historic bar of the city that, as the years go by, refuses to… age.
Something from the past…
At the moment, the “Dizzy Dolls” bar is gradually returning musically to its early years. In its space you will now hear more alternative, softer rock and 90’s music, which is especially loved by younger people, without this meaning that it loses its rock character.
The same goes for many of the store’s original decorative elements. They were never thrown away, on the contrary, they resurface, reminding … something of the past.
The vintage tile, leather bar stools downstairs, as well as the leather couches and pool table upstairs, are typical of ‘Dizzy Dolls’. The old customers, who are still regulars since the first day it opened, will definitely understand! Patrons who, for the people of the bar, are also the ones who made them understand the value of the space!
Winery with quality and variety
The same quality and variety continue in the cellar. Included are chilled draft and bottled draft beers from Greek microbreweries, but also from abroad, wines and genuine, simple and premium drinks and cool cocktails.
“Dizzy Dolls” is waiting for you every day, from 17.00 until the morning.
