Why Concert-goers love it

Its prime location makes Lýra ideal for a pre-show dinner or post-concert drink. The service is known for being efficient and friendly, helping guests get in and out on time for their events. The open-air dining room and vibrant bar scene create a social, energetic atmosphere that feels like an extension of the night ahead.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends sharing mezze and wine before a show

The staff is frequently praised for their attentiveness and ability to tailor the experience to concert schedules. Diners love the way Lýra blends upscale dining with a casual, festive spirit.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that it can get busy and a bit loud during peak hours—though for many concert-goers, that just adds to the buzz. A few reviews noted that while portions are flavorful, they can lean on the smaller side, so ordering a few extra mezze might be worth it if you’re hungry.
