Any danger of a fans game at all?

As craft beer/IPA beer fan, that place looks pretty good.

They've a decent enough selection, which often isn't the easiest thing to come by in Athens. It's not a big place, and it's a wee bit pricey though. Their standard pale ale is over €8, for example. Food is good, and prices are ok.

By comparison, there was a place down the street from it doing €2.50 pints, though you'd expect to pay closer to €4 in most places in the centre.

 Nope starts up at 5.30am 

Not sure about buses other than that a taxi would be above €53 and more if you pay the toll road i think .

First few beers in Beer time and then down the road for the cheaper pints where you don't care what your drinking 😉

Metro to airport finishes around midnight. I'm on a 5am flight as well and think the 2am bus from Syntagma is probably the best option.

There is a cool app for the oculus/meta VR called Wander which lets you type in an address and inserts you to the location similar to Google Street View in that its still pictures but you're in the VR so you get a 360 degree view and can move around the place.

Anyway had a wander around athens. First impressions was there was graffiti everywhere and looks a little run down

I’ve saved a load of places to eat and drink around the city centre on my maps. 
Six d.o.g.s looks like it has a nice big outdoor area.

Six d.o.g.s is appearently hopping at night, one of the guys in work visited a few times during his trip, he did say you could wait a while to get in though, it's always busy.

It's just off Kolokotroni Street which is full of bars as well.

Sounds like a city with something for everyone
