One of the people I met when I visited Batman told me: "This place is very important to Athens and Athenians. especially because it's situated in a residential area and it stays open till 7 in the morning"
This place is one of the rare "after hours" bars that maintains a large number of regular customers.
Batman is only a 7 minutes walk away!

Plaka is one of the most ancient settlements in Europe, with a history of more than 3.500 years. Located under the Acropolis, its charming atmosphere is spread all around the narrow streets, the ancient ruins, the Byzantine temples and the renovated neoclassical buildings.
One interesting place to visit within Plaka is the small settlement of Anafiotika:
Well off the beaten path of typical tours, this little neighborhood is more like an island village. You honestly will not believe that you are in Athens when you walk down the narrow painted streets of Anafiotika.
