I was having dinner at this restaurant in Plaka where I was approached by a tall greek guy , didn't seem arabic to me as is mentioned in most of the reviews. He started by asking the time and went on discussing business and being friendly. When I was about to leave he asked me if I wanted to have a drink. I was skeptical initially but hesitantly said ok. He later took me to this place Pub love. The presence of girls in the place gave me a first indication that this place was not right. However, I still went on and ordered a beer. Two minutes later a pretty russian girl comes and sits by the side , chats up and asks if you will buy her a drink. This should give you an indication that you are being pulled into a scam. However, they just keep on chatting (trying to distract you ) and I was lured into ordering a drink. And also beware that the girl would order a champagne costing a ridiculous 190Euros.I was not aware of the price when I bought the drink( again it is a mistake that should be avoided and you should always look into the rate card). All this time the guy who had initially bought you here would be sitting beside another girl. I guess the champagne bottle contains only water as the girls hardly seem to get drunk. A few minutes later the girl asked me if I could order another bottle. I quickly grabbed the rate card and having seen the price said no. But I ended up paying an enormous bill for nothing!. So yes never ever go to this place. Avoid this place by all means. This place is also listed in Wikipedia as one of the places to avoid along with a similar joint called New York which is apparently on the same street. Wish I knew this earlier!

i also encountered the guy who was from saudi arabia... he said he studied chemical engineering and he just randomly came up to me and asked me the time... he offered me a free beer and when we got to the pub a girl came and sat with me and asked me if i would offer her a drink. she ordered 3 30 euro glasses of champagne and i got nothing but an empty wallet out of the deal.

I got away with it. Only paid 5 euros for a beer when I realised what kind of place it was. Watch out for the crosseyed guy and also a guy who claims to be from Saudi Arabia. If you meet either of them, ignore them and walk away.

It is the same hisoty over again... I was walking by a street, looking for some place to eat and some guy came, started talking and invite me for a beer. Sudenly I was leaving the place without 140 Euros ... I felt really stupid....

was walking down the street near the plaka. an old man with crossed eyes started asking me about my tattoo. he struck up a conversation with me and invited me for a beer on the house at his pub. i went (free beer right?) got inside and i was greeted by a beautiful russian girl. she asked if i would buy her a drink. i said yes...and the whore ordered champagne at 4 pm... she then proceeded to ask me questions and keep me distracted. i had a sprite...i was hung over...when i wanted to leave they said the total was 33 euro...bullshit...they were russian so i paid before i got my knee caps broken. DO NOT GO HERE THEY WILL RAPE YOUR WALLET AND YOU WONT EVEN GET BLOWN! FUCK THE PUB LOVE. IT SHOULD BE BURNED TO THE FUCKING GROUND!!! (with the patrons inside)

I was scammed at this pub and had to spend my last 3 days in my hotel in Athens. I was taking pctures this man came to ask me the time then we started talking I asked him for a good steak house. he said let us have a drink he was an engineer like me. So i said yes. when we got there he went straight for the bar and a lady (not that pretty took me away) I was naturally flattered andshe asked me to get her a drink. she asked for 6 more and next thing I know I am walkin out with no money. Complete dupe I have a picture of the place. I walked back there before I got on the bus. How do I upload it? email me at cpuone@msn.com if you want a picture. It is not far from where the airpot bus leaves you (by the main square)

I spent a great time there with Anna. But be aware of their drinks and bills
****
I had a great time with Anna!I am sure it was an act but if anyone goes there,tell her I said hi!!Also the $$ they charge is a complete rip off/Scam

They have duds on the street who invite you in for a drink. Then a hot girl hangs out with you. Bar tenter ask if you want to bay the girl a drink. When you do you find o;ut later the drink is worth 190 euros. It's a scam/con bar. Stay away for your own safety and get the word out.
*
Stay away from here and warn your friends.
*
Not enough with this. They also have guys roaming the region, tricking people into this scam nest.

no kidding it's a rip off. it's a scam joint. the girls you meet in there also work there. so if youre not careful. you'll get a nasty bill when you leave.
