Sodade2

I went out this Saturday, June 6th, and had a fantastic evening. The place charges a €10 cover charge, which can be used towards a drink at the bar. There are two music styles: one in the front room with a commercial vibe, and a second room in the back with a more techno sound, which I prefer. The staff are friendly and welcoming. It opens at midnight and fills up quickly. I highly recommend it to the entire gay community visiting Athens.

Good music, nice sound, fair entrance price. The drinks were very good. The day I went they were playing a lot of pop music and mixes. Young crowd. Drinks averaged €10.

Last night, I experienced a very unpleasant incident at Sodat, a place I've been regularly visiting since 2012. I was wearing casual shorts and a t-shirt, but I was kept waiting at the door and denied entry because of my attire. Yet, people leaving the establishment were dressed similarly. Only after I pointed this out and mentioned it was I allowed in. Experiencing such discrimination in a place I've been going to for years has deeply hurt and upset me. It's even more upsetting to encounter such treatment within the gay community. "I've been a customer of this place for years, and last night I was denied entry because my shorts were deemed 'too short.' As someone who has entered the same establishment many times before without any problems, this situation seemed quite inconsistent and unnecessary to me. In 2026, applying vague dress codes based on individual preferences is both outdated and unfair. If there's a dress code, it should be clearly stated and applied equally to everyone. It was a truly disappointing experience. THIS IS WHAT I WAS WEARING."

Yesterday during our visit to beautiful Athens we found ourselves, upon recommendation, at one of the best gay bars in the city. Sodante2 in the Gazi area. We had a beautiful evening that started with the fantastic guy at the reception who welcomed us pleasantly and   showed interest in our country of origin and really impressed us with his approach!The music on the first stage was very good for dancing and entertaining for a gay-queer club.On the contrary, the music on the second stage was not good but monotonous and in some cases irritating. The drinks were very good and the cocktails prepared for us by the barwoman of the "courtyard" were delicious and original! She herself was particularly pleasant and professional. 10 to the reception guy ,who we are waiting for in Mexico for our own tequilas.!!!

My friend has been coming to this place for years and last night he was denied entry because his shorts were supposedly “too short.” He has entered many times before without any issue. This kind of selective treatment makes no sense and feels very unfair. If there’s a dress code, apply it clearly and equally to everyone.
