About
Koukles Club, nestled in Athens' lively Koukaki neighborhood, is a hotspot for drag performances and LGBTQ+ nightlife. Known for its cabaret-style shows, this venue has been a staple of the Athens drag scene for years, offering a unique blend of kitsch humor, diva impersonations, and Greek cultural references. It’s not uncommon to see performers channeling icons like Cher, Lady Gaga, and Greek cinema stars, with over-the-top costumes and theatrical lip-syncs setting the tone for a fun night out.
What makes Koukles stand out is its inclusive atmosphere, driven by a mix of transgender performers and drag queens who bring humor, glamour, and a bit of cheeky attitude to the stage. While it’s a beloved spot for locals, international visitors are also drawn to the club’s warm, welcoming vibe. The shows are more about humor and entertainment than sharp-tongued stand-up, which is typical of drag scenes elsewhere.
Located just a short walk from Gazi, the city’s gay village, Koukles Club is a perfect spot to kick off or wind down a night of Athens’ LGBTQ+ nightlife.

Really inclusive, fun and welcoming drag bar with a fun show. We don't speak Greek but still found the lip sync performances entertaining, and the crowd were all having a wonderful time. Definitely worth a visitAnthony Pisano

What a fabulous club this is! We stumbled across this venue and let me tell you! Such a fun, talented and entertaining venue! The server moved us to a great table and we thought “oh maybe we stay for one song”. Well we were wrong we stayed for the entire 1am show and it’s so beautiful! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you!Chris Le Mottee

Incredible show! I was living for every minute of the four girls show- funny, passionate and energetic.Although aimed perhaps more to a Greek audience I found I enjoyed it nonetheless because the atmosphere was electric with a mixed young and old LGBTQ+ crowd.Cover charge of 15 euro included one drink. Drinks thereafter are about 10 euros but measurements are not a thing in Greece so it doesn't take much to get you dancing!Andrea Christophorou

The "Queens" offer a great show! The transformations and their energy are unbelievable. Koukles it's a small cozy place with the right ambience, attentive service, and no dress code. Entrance is €12 including a drink. A must experience in Athens!Fatih Erkan Caba

This is rather a small place but it is pretty good. Drag show usually starts after 1 am and it is very fun to watch even though I don't understand Greek you don't really need it. Sometimes it's way too crowded because the are is small. Entrance is 10 euro and you can get a drink with the ticket. Recommend to go at least once for fun !
