About

Rooster Café, nestled in the vibrant Agias Eirinis Square, is a popular hangout spot for both locals and tourists in Athens. Known for its laid-back vibe, this gay-friendly venue welcomes everyone with open arms, making it a go-to for LGBTQ+ travelers exploring the city. Open from morning till the early hours, Rooster transitions from a cozy café by day to a lively bar by night.

During the day, you can enjoy a rich breakfast or Mediterranean-style lunch, whether you’re craving fresh salads, sandwiches, or something a little more indulgent. Their drink menu includes craft cocktails, beers, and refreshing wines, ideal for sipping in the sun at one of their coveted outdoor tables. Come evening, the energy shifts as the space fills with music from resident DJs, with electro and disco parties making it a hotspot for nighttime fun.

The café's prime location makes it a perfect pitstop after exploring the nearby Monastiraki flea market or soaking in the buzzing energy of the square, where you can people-watch while enjoying your coffee or cocktail. Whether you’re starting your day or winding down, Rooster offers a versatile and inclusive experience that reflects the eclectic heart of Athens.

Very lovely bar/restaurant. I spent a weekend in Athens and came back here three times. The staff are lovely, the head barman treated me to a few shots and admittedly I found one of the waiters to be really handsome lol. The Rooster wine warmed up is a treat and the food is very good value for money, try the veal burger and Rooster chicken salad.

Me and my boyfriend, Shane, stayed opposite here in a local hotel. We came here every day for a wind down/ drink/ food. Great food and great value. And gay friendly. While also attracting a cool mixed crowd but there was definitely plenty of gay guys hanging out, too. I would guess at least a few of the cute male waiters are gay 😉

Music was unnecessarily too loud not just there but the places next door. Otherwise would have been easily a 5!Still recommend and would return there. Friendly and efficient staff. The manager was also taking a look and making sure everyone was promptly served.Really great they just need to discuss the music issue with the other places around to make it more pleasant without the cacophony of mixed songs playing loud from every establishment.

I fell in love with this place! Good quality food, nice decor and friendly staff. My waiter with a ponytail was bursting with positive energy and made my day! We both laughed so much! One of the reasons I will be back in Athens apart of catching up with the museums and beaches is this cool restaurant. I just love it!

I visited Athens twice and highly recommend. There is so much to see and do. The Greek have such a sense of hospitality and it shows at Roosters. There are two team members that really ensure that everyone has a good time - Tatiana and Stefanos at the bar are always working hard but ensure even if you are alone, you have a good time. Thanks for your hospitality.

Oh! Best fruit salad I’ve ever eaten in Athens! Greek yogurt, natural honey, fresh fruits - it was awesome. Croque Monsieur was perfect too. Portions were huge! It was very nice that the cats could sleep on the couch 🙂 Restaurant is good located, we spend great time 🙂
