Europe Greece Chios Bars & Nightlife

Overview

Bars & Nightlife The guide was updated: 2024-09-16

Like most Greek islands, Chios has a short summer season. Its discos and music clubs really flourish from mid-June until the end of August and there is no guarantee that all of last summer’s hot spots will reopen the following year under the same name and the same management – or even reopen at all.
For a real Greek evening, visit an "exoxiko kentro". These countryside venues combine open-air dining with live music, singing and traditional dancing (by patrons as well as professional performers).

Chios Town

Chios Town

Chios Town has a good array of dance clubs and music bars, many of which are firmly established and open most of the year. Walk down the waterfront stretch by the port, where most of the cafés-by-day, bars/dance clubs by night are located. Many host guest DJs, and some have weekly themed parties.

Karfas

Karfas

The island’s other nightlife epicentre is Karfas, which rocks from mid-June until the end of August, but where the scene is likely to change from one summer to the next. It is located just a few kilometers south of Chios Town - just a short, easy drive away.

Metropolis Lounge Cafe Bar

Metropolis Lounge Cafe Bar

This superb café, bar and music venue located in a grand neo-classical building on the waterfront offers all-round entertainment almost around the clock (in summer, from 8.00 until around 3.00 the following day!) with live music and DJ's, meals, drinks and snacks.

Viri Carpe Diem Beach Bar

Viri Carpe Diem Beach Bar

Lively beach club with water sports, activities, restaurant and bar that metamorphoses into a rocking music club later in the evening. Greek and international DJ's and bands playing metal and house. Perfect for both day and night entertainment. Hosts the island's most popular color party.

Oz Cocktail Bar

Oz Cocktail Bar

Tucked away in one of the tiny alleys of Chios Town, this all-around great bar plays good music and serves well-crafted cocktails. The atmosphere is inviting and the interior decor artsy and cool. Serves food and caters to individual preferences upon request.

Pura Vida

Pura Vida

Pura Vida stands out among competitors on many levels. The venue boasts an extensive selection of wine and beer, a variety hardly paralleled elsewhere on the island. Non-alcoholic drinks include specialty coffee and bubble tea. Good music is played at night till the early hours of the morning.

Sueño Coffee-Bar

Sueño Coffee-Bar

Much like many other Chios Town waterside establishments, Sueño functions as a café by day and a bar/club/lounge after sundown. This particular venue is very popular with locals, and the regularly hosted "Greek parties" are a testament to that like no other.

After Club

After Club

For those in the Pyrgi area, there is hardly a better place to party the night away. The venue comes alive before sundown, and slowly turns into a night club as the evening goes on. After Club is located slightly outside of town, but is easily accessible by car.

Ammos Boutique Beach Bar

Ammos Boutique Beach Bar

The Ammos Boutique Beach Bar in Komi (the island's south) enjoys a good reputation as a day- and nighttime hang out venue. During the day, it serves light foods, snacks, coffee, and a selection of beers; guests are welcome to make use of sunbeds. Party beats start sounding louder as the night progresses.

Kubrick

Kubrick

A bar known for its quality music and unpretentious atmosphere, Kubrick is a venue frequented by locals. It serves a selection of beers (including locally produced Chian ones) and well-crafted cocktails. For non-alcoholic drinks, try their home-made lemonade.

Yoso Beach Bar

Yoso Beach Bar

A fabulous venue in the island's north, Yoso Beach Bar is a the place to be both during the day and at night. Guests are welcome to make use of the bar's sunbeds and join one of the frequently hosted parties. Drinks served from a re-purposed van add to the place's hip charm.
