BIOS opened in 2002 in an industrial building of Pireos street in down-town Athens. Since its first years of operation, BIOS has hosted numerous musical events, performances, new media projects and installations, establishing its reputation as the center for today's art and media of Athens. BIOS is a meeting point for emerging artists and new ideas. The Bios building includes an amazing terrace bar, the newly introduced Tesla bar on the ground floor, two performance spaces, and spaces for workshops and rehearsals. The terrace bar with a breathtaking view of Acropolis, is the exclusive spot in Athens where you can enjoy the famous papoto, a frozen drink on a stick, made of fresh juicy fruit and alcohol. The bar of the terrace also offers a wide variety of summer classic and house cocktails. During the wintertime, the fresh Tesla bar at the ground floor is a crossover for Eastern and Western culture, hosting events that combine traditional sounds with contemporary media. Tesla opened in September 2014 , and offers a friendly relaxing environment, where you can enjoy homemade cocktails and selected music. Celebrating its tenth anniversary, BIOS launched BIOS Romantso, an annex focusing on how entrepreneurs of the creative sector can become members of a broader community of people that will help them develop and promote their work.
