Once the promenade around the Old Port of Naoussa is over, visit Methystra Bar. This place is known for good coffee. There is a magnificent view from this bar. The terrific staff reflects the style and character of Methystra Bar. Cool service is something visitors appreciate here. You are to be pleasantly impressed with adequate prices at this place. The pretty atmosphere makes a good impression on customers. But most people who use Google didn't give this spot a high rating.

Faultless. The servers were amazing, super efficient & so lovely! Cocktails were very tasty & view was amazing. Can’t believe there was just one person behind the bar sorting it all. Thank you for the perfect way to watch the sunset!!! Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: €10–15

Really disappointing experience. I came to Methystra Bar with two friends who each ordered drinks. Because of medical reasons, there was nothing on the menu I could have. When asked for my order, I politely said I didn’t want anything, but was told, “You have to buy a drink.” That didn’t make any sense — I wasn’t sitting there alone or taking up space; I was with friends who had already paid. The idea that I had to order to stay felt like a rigid and unfair “policy” (if it’s even a real policy). It’s illogical and frankly unkind. In the end, I paid €12 for a drink I couldn’t even touch just so I wouldn’t have to leave my friends. The lack of understanding and poor service left me feeling unwelcome. I wouldn’t recommend this place. EDIT:. Thank you for your reply, but I must say I’m quite dissatisfied with the explanation provided, as it misses the main issue and feels more like an excuse than a genuine effort to address my concerns. I was with two friends who had already ordered drinks. If all three of us had sat down without ordering, I’d understand being asked to leave — but that wasn’t the case. I wasn’t taking up extra space or freeloading; I was simply accompanying paying customers. It’s reasonable that I shouldn’t have to leave my friends just because I personally couldn’t order anything. You mentioned the policy is due to limited seating, but since it was my friends’ table, no one else would have taken my place. So the seating limitation argument doesn’t really apply here. I reluctantly ordered a mocktail, hoping it would be suitable, but I couldn’t consume it due to sugar and artificial sweeteners not disclosed on the menu. Paying €12 for something I couldn’t drink just to avoid being separated from my friends isn’t a fair choice. Saying guests are “welcome to choose whether they’d like to stay” implies a real option, but the only real choice was to order something I couldn’t safely consume or leave. That’s not hospitality; it’s inflexible and unfair. I understand the need for rules, but they should be applied with empathy and common sense. How this policy is communicated should definitely be improved — staff should consider that there may be valid reasons someone can’t or won’t order a drink, rather than simply enforcing a rigid rule. Unfortunately, this approach made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. I hope you take this feedback seriously to improve how policies are communicated and applied in the future. EDIT #2: Thanks for your response, but the way this policy was applied raises serious concerns. I was staying with my friends at a table that wasn’t reserved but was already occupied by them—they had ordered and/or paid. The empty seat was part of their group, so no one else could have used it. I wasn’t taking up extra space, and plenty of other seats were available. There was nothing suitable on the menu for me to order, making the expectation unfair. No guest should be forced, pressured, or coerced to disclose personal medical information to stay or comply with an unreasonable policy. While I would have explained if asked kindly, I doubt it would have made any difference. Medical privacy must be respected. In summary, this policy: • Penalizes guests for simply staying with their own group after they’ve ordered or paid • Ignores seat use and availability • Violates privacy by demanding medical information • Lacks flexibility and damages the guest experience This approach makes guests feel unwelcome. I urge a review to ensure the policy is fair, reasonable, and respectful. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Price per person: €10–15

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience.As one of the smallest bars in Naousa, we do have a policy that each guest must order a drink, simply due to our very limited seating. This policy is always communicated upfront, and guests are welcome to choose whether they’d like to stay.That said, we offer a variety of non-alcoholic options — including mocktails and fresh juices — to accommodate those who don’t or can’t drink alcohol. We’re sorry if this wasn’t made clear during your visit.We appreciate your comments and will work to improve how we communicate our options and policies.Just to clarify a couple of important points:The table you were seated at was a table for four. If only your two friends had come in, they would have been accommodated at a smaller table, as we always aim to manage our limited seating efficiently. So it’s not accurate to say that your presence wasn’t taking up space — it did factor into our seating plan.Also, after discussing the matter with the waitress, we were not made aware of any medical dietary restrictions at the time. Had we known, we would of course have done our best to accommodate you without insisting on an order. We always try to approach these situations with flexibility and understanding when such information is shared with us.
