3 Best Nightlife in Epirus and Thessaly, Greece

Stoa Liabei

Fodor's choice

This Ottoman-era arcade has been transformed into the nightlife hub of the city. Bars and clubs, all with differing styles and music, now occupy every nook and cranny, and attract Ioannina's hip and trendy crowd. One can hop from Stoa Bar, playing deep house and funky sets, to Route 66 with its alternative, soul, and funky grooves. If it's cool yuppie vibes you're after, head to trendy Montage with its breezy uptown decor. In summer the action gets combustible, as these bars merge and mingle, since most of the action is outside. In winter they become more autonomous, shutting doors and pumping up that volume.

Blue Gin Bar

A vaulted cellar has been converted into this chic little bar-club on a trendy street next to the western wall of the Its Kale fortress. Local DJs and fun events nights make it popular with the town's students, but typically it only starts buzzing after 10 pm. It's known for great cocktails—try one with a Greek twist.

Denoar

In a creatively restored Ottoman-period marketplace, this cool bar-club is a mainstay of Ioannina nightlife. Theme nights, imaginative drinks, and a mixture of funk, rock, and dance music keep eclectic night owls flocking in.
