Located in the heart of Thessaloniki—where the rhythm never stops and entertainment spots shape the city’s daily vibe—some venues have been writing history for decades. “Spiti Mou,” at 3A Ioustinianou Street, is one of them. With a legacy spanning over 20 years, this place has taken on many forms, hosting countless artists for live performances and welcoming just as many patrons who choose it not only for its unique ambiance and curated music but also for its impressively vast selection of spirits—one of the rarest in the city.

The story began in 2002, when the same space opened as a simple kafeneio (traditional Greek café). Initially, it was a cozy meeting spot for the neighborhood’s older generation to chat and play games. But it soon evolved into something much more: the former “Kafodeion”, a vibrant cultural venue that brought young people closer to the city’s music scene.

With live performances from artists like Giannis Mitsis and Evgenios Dermitasoglou, the venue took on new life. Over the years, legendary musicians such as Pavlos Pavlidis of “Xilina Spathia,” Thanos Anestopoulos of “Diafana Krina,” Manolis Rasoulis, Fotini Velesiotou, Giorgos Kazantzis, Blues Wire, Giorgos Gakis of the “Troublemakers,” Petros Malamas and many others have performed here, turning it into a landmark for Thessaloniki’s live music scene.

In recent years, reborn as “Spiti Mou Bar”, the space has become a central point of nightlife in the city center, offering exactly what its name promises. Here, everyone feels at home—in a warm and friendly atmosphere, with wooden decor and a large central bar that dominates the view and sets the tone for the night. The vibe is reminiscent of a Central European bar, yet carries the laid-back spirit of a Greek kafeneio.

An impressive bar selection with endless options!

“Spiti Mou” is famous for its stunning selection of drinks—one of the richest in Thessaloniki. Its shelves are lined with:

  • 43 different draft beers, both Greek and international
  • Over 200 labels of malt whisky
  • 150 to 200 premium gins
  • 70 to 80 types of tequila
  • And many rare spirits that you’ll likely try for the first time here.

Complete your experience with a selection of fine cigars, perfectly paired with whisky, in a ritual always conducted with care and respect.

A salumeria to complement the drink

And of course, taste is not left behind. The menu focuses on snacks, and this year a salumeria has been added, offering 15 different cured meats and cheeses, allowing guests to create their own personalized platter. It’s a perfect match for beer or wine, elevating your daily gastronomic experience.

Live music that moves you—every single day!

The true soul of “Spiti Mou” remains the music. Daily live performances with entechno, Greek, rock, and jazz sounds set the mood and cater to all tastes. The crowd is wonderfully diverse: from students exploring the city’s music scene, to older generations reminiscing, remembering, and still living and loving music just as passionately.

Live shows start after 10:00 PM, and once they wrap up, the DJ takes over, keeping the energy going until the early morning hours—often until 5 or 6 AM.

The most magical part? Here, you might see three generations singing the same song together. If nothing else, that’s Thessaloniki in a nutshell!
