    Great drinks and music. One of the nicest bars and interiors in the area. Also a nice touch with the free popcorn. Would’ve loved a little more interaction between customers talking and dancing but I expect that this is something that is reflective of LGBT life in Cyprus rather than Different bar specifically and hopefully this will improve in Cyprus with time - it certainly is busier in terms of customer numbers on the weekends too. Still met some nice people at the bar though along the way! Panos the owner was lovely and really looks after customers and provides personal touches. Looking forward to seeing the bar grow further over the coming years. Will recommend to others who visit Cyprus and Hopefully will make it back soon!

    Panos (the bar owner) is an absolute legend! This is an amazing bar and the only gay bar in Cyprus I know of. A 30 year institution. Had an amazing night, would highly recommend! Great atmosphere and very reasonably priced.

    Me and my partner visited this bar on a couple of occasions during our vacation to Paphos. And the service was FANTASTIC. The bar man (owner?) was so friendly, and made us to feel welcomed from the moment we stepped in. Gave us some cheeky cocktail recommendations and truly made our visit enjoyable. In a country that’s not quite there on the ‘gay friendly’ status this bar makes all the difference and is worth the visit. A truly accepting venue. Thank you.

    Ask the barman to make you a cocktail of his own invention. A true artist who will not disappoint :) Great vibe and service. Barman gave us a free shot upon arrival. Highly recommended!

    Fun gay bar with quick and friendly service. Bar staff is talkative and makes an effort to let you feel welcome. Good music and drinks.

    An amazing place with great atmosphere. The moment you walk in they make you feel welcome and have a bit of a chat with you. You get a complementary shot before placing and order and some popcorn. While you there they frequently come to have a chat with you and really make you feel welcomed. Drinks are really cheap in my opinion and at the same time really good and deffo not watered down versions either!

    Amazing bar just off the main strip in Pafos. My husband and I went two separate times on our holiday and the atmosphere was brilliant. The manager is a particular highlight and made us feel like we were regulars there and not just tourists.

    Panos is super kind and knows how to make you feel at home, spoiling guests with popcorn, shots and kind attention - we will totally be back! 🏳️‍🌈

    I visited this bar with my mate in March. I am not a fan of gay bars however as I was in Paphos wanted to visit although I wasn't feeling social either. To cut a long story short I had a fabulous time. Panos is definitely the host with the most :) Its a small bar but very cosy and welcoming, there were about 20 or so people there, but taking this into mind that it was also out of season it was great and in the end I had a fabulous time. Drinks were not overpriced at all.

    Its amazing, welcoming and friendly. There are people here from around the world, and all of them were super nice. We spent 2 nights here and we made some friends. The guy running the place is very friendly, talkative, helpful, gotta be one of the coolest guys ive ever met. The locals were nice and friendly too, we had really good conversations and we were dancing together, some other tourists joined us too. Drinks are good and for the area they are cheap i would say, so really good value for the money, and also, everyone gets free popcorn. If wed live here we would spend a lot of time here for sure. Probably we will come back to cyprus in the future, and if we will, were gonna spend a few nights here again too, thats guaranteed. Can easily recommend to anyone.

    Is a perfect bar. I was here 12 years ago and the owner is just as friendly and nice. I love this place so much. There are no improvements to make. It is perfect.

    Apart from the music being a little too loud for me, it's a really good place to have a beer and people watch it

    Absolutely Fabulous. A very friendly local bar run by the most charming owner Panos. A huge variety of drinks available at very reasonable prices. Good music, great atmosphere, an all-round delightful place to relax and enjoy yourself with a mixture of locals and tourists. Not to be missed when in Paphos.
