Costas, Panos and Spyros run Brazilias Square's living room: single-origin espresso and brunch in the morning, a proper cocktail list and DJ sets at night, weekly events, and a cold brew of its own.
Lot51 sits at Brazilias Square in Pangrati, a community café that operates more like a neighbourhood living room than a hospitality business. Costas, Panos, and Spyros opened it in 2018 with a straightforward brief — specialty coffee in the morning, cocktails at night, DJ sets when the mood calls for it, and a standing invitation to anyone passing through.
From 7am until 2am on weekdays (3am on Friday and Saturday), the venue runs through its identities without apology. Mornings are for single-origin espresso and brunch; evenings belong to a proper cocktail list and a bar team with genuine technique. Between the two, it is just Lot51 being itself — a place that brought a particular Brooklyn sensibility to a Pangrati square and made it feel entirely local.
The spot also sells cold brew and merchandise, runs weekly events, and has quietly become one of the more reliable gathering points in the neighbourhood. Not a café that happens to do cocktails, and not a bar that opens early — something in between, and better for it.
Why we picked it
A neighbourhood living room that changes character as the day goes on, and does each version well. The square outside makes it a Pangrati landmark.
Best forCoffee at nine or a cocktail at eleven
