Our Story
It all started as a simple vacation to Miami and the love and passion of both European and American Cultures. Founders, Ioannis Sotiropoulos and Efthymios Paliouras’ love for the American culture started in their childhood. They learned to love the United States by watching American movies and documentaries. Growing up in Athens, Greece a city that is known for its love of socializing over good food, great coffee, and beautiful cafes, they saw an opportunity to bring that love and culture to the American people. With their background as highly successful club owners and restaurateurs' in Greece, they decided to make Miami the first destination of their new vision.
