Drinks & Nightlife
This is a very interesting bar in the old Town of Nicosia. The architects have done a great job of utilizing an old residential building and the large yard surrounded by high walls of the other old shops and homes. The music is loud and gets louder as the hours progress and the clientele shifts from those having tapas to those that go for the drinks and music. The ambience is great and you can feel the energy flowing. Good use of lights on the walls and lots of young people working hard to serve you. The food is mainly to share and most dishes we tried were fresh and nice.
