Hello dear Ellen. I’m really sorry for the bad experience you had to our bar during your stay in Athens . But let’s make some things clear . First of all no one from the team at The Gin Joint is a racist or a thief . All the staff working are true professionals and as they informed me the next day about the incident ,they made everything they could asking to try and find your phone . Your bartender (filipos ) when he came to your table YOU told him that some guy with a piece of paper came to your table asking for money . After that your phone went missing . I know is a bad experience loosing your phone to a foreign country and we feel sorry about that , But we are not responsible for every customer personal property . We always inform our customers ,especially the ones sitting at the outside area of the bar ,to pay attention to the phones and bags ,in order to protect them from incidents like yours . Please do not make accusations for hard working people. Kind regards ,Dimitris
