Jailhouse

Enclosed within an old Venetian structure, this is the city's rock n' roll bar. The music is -obviously- rock n roll but sometimes also hard rock, punk and blues Rock n Roll as way of life!

Just been in Crete for a few days and had the pleasure to stop in this beauty. Cocktails are amazing and the staff is great! Massive flavours in their signatures and perfect classics... possibly the best Bloody Mary I’ve ever had.
