Centrally located in Karitsi Square, one of the most beautiful hidden corners near Syntagma Square, the Gin Joint is a small bar for "serious" drinks. Stepping inside you will come across a marble tile floor, antique wall lights and a huge painting of Humphrey Bogart sitting at the bar, wondering why of all the Gin Joints in all towns in the entire world she walked into his, from the famous film 'Casablanca'. The focus is on Gin and with an extensive list of 90 labels and counting, the Gin Joint is proud of serving the Perfect Gin and Tonic in many different versions. But it is not actually all Gin here. The drinks menu includes all the classic cocktails served in vintage crystal and a good number of house recipes-more modern serves- all prepared using top quality spirits, homemade infusions, liqueurs and syrups and the most aromatic herbs and spices. The Gin Joint is voted as one of the Best Cocktail Bars in Europe for 2012 in the European contest Cocktails & Spirits held in Paris in June 2013. Music ranging from jazz and swing to rock 'n roll tunes, crowd ages 25 and up, al fresco seating on the street sidewalk.
