Tourists urged to avoid popular bar which ‘charges customers 100 Euro for a beer’

Tourists have urged fellow holidaymakers to avoid a notorious bar in Greece that is ‘charging €100’ for a beer.

DK Oyster claims it ‘boasts an exceptional atmosphere with fantastic service, beautiful seaside view’, however, its reviews say otherwise.

But Brits have taken to Tripadvisor to warn against the business, which is located on the idyllic island of Mykonos.

Just one week ago, a British man revealed how he was charged an eye-watering €100 (£84) for a lager, before bar staff attempted to haggle at the price.

Detailing his experience, Nathan said: ‘Asked for a seat in the sun and a drinks menu, he offered us 1 litre of lager for €100!

‘Once we said no thanks he proceeded to drop the price but we didn’t stick around, if you find yourself here, do yourself a favour and walk on to another bar as they don’t try to rip you off and the atmosphere is much better. We ended up paying €7 [£6] each for a lager.’

Another unhappy customer, named Sue, told how she and her group of friends were enticed in with the offer of free sunbeds, before ordering drinks without a menu.

She explained: ‘When we asked for the total, we were presented with a bill just under €400 [£337] for a handful of drinks.

A receipt posted by one holidaymaker showed how they were charged a staggering €136 (£114) for two glasses of prosecco.

‘We were shocked to discover we were charged for more drinks than we had actually ordered, including the so-called “free” one. Even soft drinks like Coca-Cola, we were told, were also €35 [£29] each.’

TripAdvisor has even slapped a warning on the bar’s official page, encouraging potential customers to carry out their own research first before visiting.

It reads: ‘Tripadvisor has been made aware of recent media reports or events concerning this property which may not be reflected in reviews found on this listing.

‘Accordingly, you may wish to perform additional research for information about this property when making your travel plans.’

A menu posted online shows the extreme pricing for beverages, with a glass of white wine Chardonnay costing €130 (£109).

An Aperol will set you back €58 (£49), a Jack Daniel’s €49 (£41), while a Pimm’s is €58 (£49) by the glass.

The fresh complaints come after MailOnline visited the Mykonos restaurant last year and was hit with a fee of over €100 for a mouthful of crab, plus service.

In response, however, the restaurant’s owner Dimitrios Kalamaras insisted that his establishment had been ‘unfairly traduced by a freeloader who wanted to eat for gratis and position herself as an influencer’.

To determine which of these accounts was closer to the truth, MailOnline went undercover at the restaurant, posing as innocent holidaymakers who had wandered into the restaurant after spotting it by chance. 

Three years ago, following damaging publicity in the US media when two American tourists were charged €600 for two drinks and a portion of crab legs, the Greek government came down hard on the restaurant.

The minister of tourism, Vassillis Kikilias instructed the Cyclades Regional Tourism Agency to investigate and they duly found several tax violations in the company’s books, leading to a guilty plea and a fine of €31,000.
