Although this taverna opened in 2017, its musical taste and style skews much older. This is an excellent place to hear rembetika (blues) songs from Smyrna plus other traditional Greek music, with a band playing most nights (starting at 10pm) and Sunday afternoons (usually from 4pm). Food is average, but not expensive.
