Happy Hour in Mykonos — 2-for-1 Cocktails at Pūblico Mezcaleria

Mykonos is not a cheap island. Everyone knows this before they arrive, and most people accept it as the price of the most beautiful setting in the Aegean. But here is something most visitors don't know: between 15:00 and 18:30 every single day, Pūblico Mezcaleria runs the only proper happy hour in Mykonos Town — 2-for-1 on every cocktail on the menu.

That means two Pūblico Margaritas. Two Smoky Palomas. Two Mezcal Negronis. Two of anything. For the price of one.

In a town where a single cocktail routinely costs €18–22, this changes the maths of a Mykonos afternoon considerably.

What Is Pūblico Happy Hour?

Every day from 15:00 to 18:30, Pūblico Mezcaleria offers 2-for-1 on all cocktails. Every signature cocktail on the menu. No exclusions. No minimum spend beyond the drinks themselves.

This is not a happy hour in the loud, shots-and-noise sense. This is the same Pūblico Mezcaleria that holds one of Greece's finest collections of artisanal mezcal, that was named by Condé Nast Traveler as part of Greece's most soulful Mexican restaurant, that makes every cocktail from scratch with fresh citrus and premium spirits. Just at half the price, for three and a half hours every afternoon.

The Cocktails — What to Order

The Pūblico Margarita

Our house margarita. Patrón Silver, fresh lime, agave nectar, house salt rim. The best margarita in Mykonos. Built the way a margarita should be — no mixes, no shortcuts, fresh citrus every time. During happy hour you get two for the price of one. Order two. They disappear quickly.

The Smoky Paloma

Espadín mezcal, fresh grapefruit, lime, agave, chilli salt rim. The definitive mezcal cocktail. Smoky, sharp, and perfectly calibrated for a warm Mykonos afternoon. One of the most ordered cocktails at the bar — and for good reason.

The Mezcal Margarita

For guests who want the familiar structure of a margarita with the depth and smoke of mezcal. A gateway cocktail for the mezcal-curious — and an outstanding introduction to what proper agave spirits taste like.

The Oaxacan Negroni

Mezcal, Campari, sweet vermouth, orange peel. A smoky, stirred twist on the classic. Beautiful to look at, extraordinary to drink.

The Hibiscus Paloma

Mezcal, hibiscus, fresh grapefruit, lime, agave. Rose-pink, visually striking, dangerously easy to drink on a warm afternoon under the bougainvillea.

The Mezcal Espresso Martini

Mezcal, espresso, chocolate foam. The coffee cocktail re-imagined with smoky agave. Pre-dinner, mid-afternoon, whenever — this is one of the bar's most photographed drinks.

Why 15:00–18:30?

Mykonos afternoons are underused. Most visitors are returning from the beach, transitioning between daytime and evening, not quite ready for dinner but looking for somewhere beautiful to sit with a drink in hand.

Pūblico's terrace at 15:00 is one of the most beautiful spots in Mykonos Town. The afternoon light catches the bougainvillea. The cobblestone street is quieter than it will be at 20:00. The bar team has full attention for you.

Happy hour ends at 18:30 — precisely when the evening begins. Many guests move straight from the Mezcaleria into dinner at Pūblico. The kitchen opens at 18:00. The timing is not accidental.

How to Think About the Day

The Mykonos Full Day — Pūblico Edition:

09:00–16:00 — The Mykonos Brunch Club at the same address. Coffee, brunch, açaí bowls, brunch cocktails. Walk-ins welcome, no reservation needed.

15:00–18:30 — Pūblico Happy Hour. 2-for-1 cocktails at the Mezcaleria. Walk in off the street or come straight from brunch.

18:00 onwards — Dinner at Pūblico Restaurant. Handmade tortillas, Aegean seafood, Chef's menu. Reserve in advance — essential in peak season.

Three experiences. One location. One team. The most complete food and drink day Mykonos has to offer.
