A Mediterranean Gem in South Austin
The Greek Bar is making waves in the Austin dining scene with its vibrant Mediterranean flavors and warm atmosphere. Nestled in the heart of South Austin at 534 E. Oltorf Street, this new eatery is the product of seasoned restaurateurs Dimitri Karabinis and Daphne Greer, who have poured their Greek heritage and years of industry experience into creating a unique dining experience.
A Culinary Adventure with Authentic Flavors
At the helm of The Greek Bar is Executive Chef Brian Beach, whose resume boasts time at San Francisco’s renowned Kokkari. The menu is a dedicated exploration of Mediterranean cuisine, offering a beautifully crafted selection of dishes made entirely from scratch. From traditional spreads and mezze plates to hearty mains like grilled lamb chops and braised octopus, every item celebrates the essence of Greek cooking.
“We wanted to create a space that feels like a true reflection of our roots, while also capturing the relaxed energy of Austin,” Karabinis explains. This philosophy resonates in each dish and beverage, including a wine selection featuring exquisite Greek varietals paired beautifully with cocktails infused with local flavors such as thyme and kalamata olives.
A Beautifully Crafted Space for Every Occasion
Stepping inside The Greek Bar, diners are greeted by a thoughtfully designed interior that balances rustic charm with modern comfort. Designed by Luke Havekes, the space features original Saltillo tiles and warm coastal textures reminiscent of a cozy Greek taverna. This welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for casual nights out or memorable gatherings as it caters to the growing appetite for quality Mediterranean dining in Austin.
