THE CLUMSIES
Consistently found in the higher echelon’s of the World’s 50 Best Bars list, The Clumsies bar never disappoints.
Innovative cocktails, endlessly creative menus and warm, friendly service. Exactly what you want in a bar, really! A self-described ‘all-day’ bar, The Clumsies is the brilliant brainchild of two world class Greek bartenders who teamed up to combine their unique pouring and people skills, creating something truly special in their nation’s capital along the way.
Throw in a legendary private imbibing room complete with bookcase, billiard table, old school records, and a crackling fireplace reminiscent of a hidden parlour room, and you have an instant Greek classic.
THE DRINK
Taken from the ‘FEELINGS’ Menu at the infamous Bar, this Negroni variation was part of the ‘Happiness’ Section (for obvious reasons!).
It is a delicious, light yet complex blend of ingredients and infusions, and quite unlike any Negroni you have ever come across before: Butter, Whisky, Gin, Campari & Sandalwood? Absolutely awesome!
