About
Rooster All Day Bar is a welcoming café and bar located in Mytilini, the vibrant capital of Lesvos, where the rhythms of island life play out from morning coffee to evening drinks. As an all-day spot, it caters to every hour of the day, whether you are looking for a strong Greek coffee to start your morning, a leisurely brunch, or a relaxed afternoon drink while watching the world go by.
The café's all-day format reflects a beloved Mediterranean tradition — the idea that a good venue should serve as a gathering place throughout the day, not just at fixed meal times. Visitors can expect a relaxed, convivial atmosphere where locals and travelers mix easily, making it an ideal spot to soak up the everyday character of Mytilini away from the more tourist-facing establishments along the waterfront.
Stopping into Rooster All Day Bar offers more than just refreshment — it is a chance to experience the unhurried pace that defines life on Lesvos. Whether you linger over a cappuccino before heading out to explore the city's Ottoman-era architecture and bustling markets, or return in the late afternoon for a cold drink after a day at the beach, Rooster provides a comfortable and characterful base in the heart of the island's capital.
Before you go
What to expect
The crowd shifts naturally through the day — morning regulars nursing freddo espressos give way to afternoon groups over cold drinks, and by evening the mood lifts with background music and a sociable buzz. It sits inside the fabric of Mytilini rather than on the tourist-facing waterfront, so you hear Greek spoken at most tables. Arrive without a plan and you'll find yourself staying longer than intended.
Best time to visit
Open year-round; spring and early autumn offer the most pleasant temperatures without the intensity of peak-summer heat.
How to get there
Rooster is in central Mytilini, well within walking distance of the main harbour — from the ferry terminal, a short stroll into the city streets brings you there.

I ordered breakfast as a surprise delivery for my fiancée, and the team went above and beyond! They didn’t just prepare the food perfectly — they added my note in such a creative and heartwarming way. It honestly made the moment unforgettable. You can tell they care about every small detail. Huge thanks to the staff for spreading real joy through their service 🙏🏽💐

Unfortunately the bar closes at 21:00h instead of the advertised 23:00h, it's not nice having to quickly finish your drink even though the opening hours advertised are to hours from the actual opening hours. Very disappointed, in comparison to the previous Café bar "Metropolis", I'm afraid, I can't recommend this bar anymore!!!

I'm sorry to hear that and I acknowledge your frustration.<br>Unfortunately, this summer there were no people who could support this closing time. We kept this time in the hope that during the summer there would be this possibility, however, in this line of business there is nothing given. Therefore, as the employee probably informed you, there is no possibility of overtime, for only two customers.
