My wife and I discovered this place on a trip to kefalonia years ago. We fell in love with the island and have been back countless times. This is by far my favourite place on the island. I once drove from a villa in Fiskardo just for a beer here. Catch it out of season and you might even have the place to yourself (save for the owner, Thornton, of course. He is lovely. A true Welsh gent). 200+ beers and Thornton will help pick what works for you. I bought some to take away once and one of them had to be kept chilled. Thornton only let me take it away on the promise our Villa was less than 10 mins away so it wouldn’t warm up! Honestly whenever i want to think relaxing thoughts I go back to this place, sat on a bench with my lovely wife both looking down the sublime green valley out to sea, drinking the most amazing beers and watching the sun slowly go down. Heaven. Honestly Thornton, if you ever want to sell up please just name your price.

I didn’t see an indoor area but the outside terrace is a perfect place to park up for some craft beers. Nothing on tap but a very wide range of bottles and cans. Plus a dusty collection of typewriters (if that’s what you’re into). Run by a Greek-speaking Welshman who’s happy to recommend some beers for you. Also does coffee. Service: Dine in

Thornton, the owner, is the sweetest and most welcome person we met this season, helped us pick beers we have never tried before. And most importantly, the beer variety is extreme for the island, with more than 200 greek beers. This place disserves every visit. Service: Dine in
