The Wee Dram Scottish PubB-Worth Trying
Konopisopoulou 23, Ampelokipi 115 24, Greece
· Pub, Scottish restaurant
· 4.6/5 Google (1428 reviews)
Reservations · Outdoor seating
A cozy Scottish-style pub with standout beer and whisky selection, self-service ordering, fair prices, and solid bar food; expect crowds and occasional waits for pizzas.
Why it gets a B- for overall quality
The Wee Dram delivers solid neighborhood pub quality anchored by exceptional whisky and beer knowledge and genuinely attentive bartender service. Reliable bar food and pizzas satisfy casual dining needs, though occasional kitchen delays during busy nights and tight seating in a small space prevent higher distinction. It's a worthwhile local destination for beer and whisky enthusiasts seeking authentic pub atmosphere over fine dining polish.
Restaurant Summary
The Wee Dram feels like a slice of Scotland tucked into Ampelokipi: warm and cozy, music at chat-friendly volume, and a bartender who remembers faces. As one guest put it, "the room has easygoing energy and a real neighborhood feel." Trivia nights and regulars add to the local pub vibe. In the glass, expect breadth: budget-friendly lagers alongside characterful Scottish IPAs and a whisky shelf that invites exploration, with the owner offering gentle guidance. The kitchen keeps it classic with pizzas and greedy-for-beer snacks. It suits relaxed catch-ups, solo sips at the bar, and anyone who values a thoughtful pour over fuss. Families can do fine earlier in the evening: simple pizzas like Margherita and Celtic Green are easy wins for kids. It is still a pub environment later at night, and on busy trivia evenings pizza waits can stretch, so plan timing if visiting with little ones.
