7 Best Nightlife in Rhodes and the Dodecanese, Greece

Gelo Blu

Fodor's choice

The most popular hangout in town serves homemade ice cream by day and drinks day and night in the cool, blue-cushioned interior and pebbled courtyard and on the rooftop terrace of a sea captain's house.

The Secret Garden

Fodor's choice
This café-bar hideaway along the road from Chorio to Pedi Bay is popular among locals. It was built by hand by local owners Katja and Michael, and feels every bit the leafy escape its name suggests. The menu is tasty, traditional fare, while Friday night sees live blue bands take over. It's a true hidden delight.

H2O

This loungey seaside club on the beachfront has a small, sleek interior as well as outdoor seating, and excellent meals are served in the adjoining restaurant of the same name.

Macao

A haven for grown-up lounge lizards, Macao is all about dark, moody lighting, a romantic terrace, mellow music, and worldly cocktails.

Mozaik

Old Town
In summer, this slick open-air cocktail bar and terrace is the centerpiece of hip Arionos Square, where its DJs top the pecking order and decent sushi has been added to a light menu.

The Last Butler

New Town
A likeable cocktail bar-cum-speakeasy that spills out onto the New Town food street of Amarantou. It's a great place to perch, all gentleman's-club-style dark woods, Victorian wallpaper, and a dizzying array of well-mixed drinks. An atmospheric spot for a nightcap.

Zero

The best selection of craft beers on the island, including plenty of Greek labels, makes this ruffled-looking bar with live DJs and a quiet side-street garden worth looking up.
