Choose seafood, meat or shared meze
The operator describes a fish tavern and ouzeri established in 2001. Its actual menu tabs list boiled, fried, saganaki and grilled shrimp, calamari, cuttlefish, cod with skordalia, marinated anchovy, grilled sardines, sea bream, sea bass and seafood pasta or risotto. Meat choices include pork, beef, lamb chops, chicken and mixed grills for 2 or 4. Dakos, fava, dolmadakia, greens and cheeses provide starters. The menu’s asterisk meaning was not established, so no blanket fresh-catch or unfrozen claim is made. Confirm current availability, ingredients and pricing.

Keep the programme and entrance explicit
The own site advertises Friday and Saturday live music, independently of its broader opening hours. Its prominent address says Dimokratias 139 while the footer says 138. Call +30 2810242551 or +30 6945210124 to confirm the exact entrance, date, musicians, start time and any music-night terms. The drinks menu distinguishes beer, ouzo, raki, house wine and retsina; none is an automatic unlimited inclusion. A late closing time does not tell you when musicians perform.

Planning questions
Is the address 139 or 138?
The operator website contains both. Confirm the actual entrance with the venue rather than choosing a number silently.
Do normal hours or a drinks menu prove the live-night terms?
No. Ask for the dated programme, start time and actual food, cover and drink arrangements.
