Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We wandered into The Clumsies just after lunch and enjoyed some really interesting, clever and delicious drinks off of the "Happy Accidents" menu. We enjoyed sitting at the bar and watching the talented staff in action. It's obvious why this place is included in the list of Top 50 Bars in the World. Worth a visit for sure.

We came to The Clumsies because its rated as 19th best bar in the world. But what we did not expect was to also really enjoy their bar bites! We got the corn fritters and beet carpaccio, and these were both so good; honestly some of my favourite food of our entire Greece trip and we had a lot of great food. In addition, the drinks were tasty. I got their Negroni, which was tagged as the top cocktail in the world from 2019. Was it the best? I'm not sure I'd call it the best, but it was definitely delicious.

This is supposedly one of the top bars in the world and has been ranked in the Top 50 - no mean feat surely?
We didn't even get to have a drink, we asked the waitress if we could have a table for 2 and were told "NO - we are full" There was no offer for us to wait, we were simply told no and she walked off.
Despite what looked like a half decent building, I am glad we didn't spend our money here. Clearly the criteria for best bars in the world doesn't include customer service!

This bar is nothing special. I wish I had stopped at the many places we saw along the way to get here that were so much nicer.

After a week in Greece, The Clumsies was the perfect way to end this trip. You must sit at the at and be mesmerized by the artistry of the mixologist. They are amazing and great to watch them work their craft. We only ordered off of their creative menu and each drink was a burst of flavors!

The Clumsies in Athens is a cocktail lover’s paradise and a testament to mixology expertise. The bar’s stylish interior and welcoming ambiance set the stage for an unforgettable evening. The cocktail menu is a masterpiece, featuring both classic and innovative creations. Each drink is a work of art, meticulously crafted and presented with flair. The staff’s passion and knowledge of mixology shine through, as they create bespoke cocktails tailored to your preferences. The Clumsies is not just a bar; it’s an immersive experience in the world of cocktails and hospitality that I would recommend to anyone visiting Athens.

Cocktail’s and food were nice but if you wanted more to eat/drink the staff weren’t interested. Good for a drink but not for an extended night with friends.

To start my daughter’s birthday evening, I thought we would call in to Clumsies for a couple of cocktails. Looking at the website, I assume you can only pre-book The Room. What are the chances of getting a seat at the bar or a table around 7.00pm on a Wednesday in mid-May?
