Mostrou
A classic Plaka taverna, popular for its live music (Thursday to Sunday). It has a full-sized stage and dance floor and gets very lively. A good place for traditional music and dancing if you can't face a nightclub or rembetika club. In summer, there's more sedate live music on the terrace.
