As its name hints, “Biergarten” is a garden bar- pub and the place to be for enjoying premium German (and other) beers with classic food accompaniments e.g. burgers and sausages.

An all-day cafe, bar, and restaurant launched with the aim to revive the historic Stasikratous street with its great ambiance and specially crafted cocktails. As you’d expect from its “zesty” and upbeat name, this a place to be for the modern urban crowd that wants to escape from daily woes and try something a bit different-- a “hoppit” green cocktail, the signature “butterfly effect” cocktail with pink vibes, or even a quick pick-me-up coffee or breakfast smoothie before the noon sets. In addition to offering a wide selection of classic and signature drinks, pull a mango also offers some fusion dishes and platters to share such as burger sliders with mango chutney and chicken roulade stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes and kefalograviera cheese.

The atmosphere is virtually out of this world--with fine green plants, crystal chandeliers and spotless lighting illuminating the right angles, Moon cocktail bar definitely honors its name. If you are a romantic at heart, this is definitely a place worth visiting with your “beau”. The bar offers a wide range of cocktails and drinks as well as small dishes and platters inspired by French and Mediterranean cuisines such as beef carpaccio, duck breast “poele”, and the signature St. Jacques scallops topping potato blinis (small savory pancakes). 

The Old Souls
Address: Stasandrou 7​
Visit their website
Price range: $$
Concept: Cocktail bar

The Old Souls Bar at Stasandrou street has managed to become a favorite after-work and late night drink spot for locals of all ages (and some tourists). It has that old-school bar vibe, just like its name suggests, but with a more minimal and modern flair that appeals to a younger urban crowd as well. Due to its famous one-of-a-kind cocktails, killer music and laid-back atmosphere, it gets incredibly busy fast. This is especially true during Fridays and weekends so make sure you make a reservation if you plan visiting this with your friends. 

The beauty of all these bars is that they are located in the heart of Nicosia near famous landmarks and if you are staying in a hotel establishment nearby such as Urban Habitat Executive Suites, you can go there by foot.

Chic and cosy with a homey atmosphere, Lola's very friendly staff will take good care of you. With an extensive wine and cocktail list Lola also has to offer generous portions of cheese or meat platters with bread and bread sticks. We highly recommend Lola's signature cocktails!
