If you’ve been following halu! for a while, you probably know we have a soft spot for good beer, especially when it’s brewed right here in Greece. The country’s craft beer scene has exploded over the past decade and almost every big city now has its own local gems. Still, finding bars and pubs in Thessaloniki that truly focus on Greek craft beer can feel like a small adventure. That’s why we put together a fresh, curated list to help you chase that perfect pint. We’ve already shared our love for Utopia some months back, and now we’re adding three more spots worth discovering. So raise your glasses and let’s dive in.
In the friendly neighborhood of Toumpa you’ll find a spot that has quickly become a daily favorite among beer lovers. Crocodilos blends unique charm with a fun, easygoing vibe and serves 14 taps plus more than 200 cans and bottles to explore. You can enjoy your beer at the bar or grab it to go, and if you’re feeling peckish there are hotdogs and a handful of tasty snacks to keep you company.
Opening times: Open every day from 5:30 pm to 1:30 am, making it an ideal place for an after-work beer or a relaxed night out.
Beer Fabrica proudly showcases some of the best beers Greece has to offer, paired with a seasonal food menu and some seriously good burgers. There’s always something happening here, from weekly specials to fresh releases every month, making each visit feel a little different. If you’re looking for a place where you can dive into Greek craft beer while enjoying a great meal, Beer Fabrica should be high on your list.
Opening Times: Weekdays from 6 pm to 1:30 am and on weekends from 6:30 pm to 1:30 am.
Hoppy Pub is one of the oldest and most beloved meeting spots for beer enthusiasts in Thessaloniki, and honestly, in Greece as a whole. Tucked into a small, quiet street just a breath away from the White Tower, it welcomes you with a beer list so extensive it might make your head spin in the best possible way. You’ll find beers from every corner of the world alongside a strong Greek lineup, with 18 rotating taps and hundreds more available in bottles or on draft. Hoppy Pub is also the co-organizer of the annual Thessaloniki Beer Festival, a vibrant gathering that brings the city’s beer community together every year.
Opening times: Every Tuesday to Saturday from 5:30pm to 1: 30 am.
