Thessaloniki – They turned the shop toilets into a bouzouki joint

An entertainment center in Efkarpia, Thessaloniki was transformed into a makeshift bouzouki joint, where dozens of patrons celebrated New Year’s Eve in the toilets.

A video that has gone viral on social media reveals that although the store looked empty, the frenzied party was set up in the basement, outside the restrooms.

Drinks flowed profusely, the music was loud and everyone was having lots of fun. “We celebrate you all… a normal New Year!” writes in the caption of the user who uploaded the video to TikTok and then shared it on Twitter.

Οι άλλοι στήσανε μπουζούκια στις τουαλέτες, αλλά φταίει η κυβέρνηση που δεν έφτιαξε 10 εκατομμύρια ΜΕΘ σύμφωνα με τον Πολακη. pic.twitter.com/hmfzBmlKVU
