A
Draught
This bar is in the Old Carob Mill complex. The Carob Mill people seem to know what they're doing, don't they? Once an ultra-fashionable place, Draught is a bit less maniacally sought after now. That means it's a pleasant place to have a drink, while it still has a nice buzz; it gets really busy only on weekends. Massive copper vats line the wall, where the decent in-house ale is brewed.

Belediye Pazarı Nargileh Bars
A popular drinking area in the Old City is behind the Belediye Pazarı inside the restored old market building. Resembling a kind of warehouse, with tall ceilings and low-hanging lamps, the space has a pretty, modern look. There are several bars inside, and the rather young clientele is keen on the nargileh-sucking. It's lively and fun for a drink in the Old City.

B
Aquafront
A large veranda with iron chairs and velvety sofas, surrounded by flowers. It's a quieter drinking spot for cocktails than those on the promenade, and it serves food too. The sea is right in front of you, and things don't get much better than a nice drink in the evening breeze. There's a barbecue night every Wednesday (during the summer, that is).

C
Club S-cape
Two enormous bars (less queuing) and a seated chill-out area mean that once you're danced out, there's plenty of space to rest. Be present for the weekly carwash disco parties (prepare to be sudsed and rinsed!) and enjoy classic tracks from the '70s and '80s, and house music and R & B on the new sound system.

Baywatch
If bright-green cushioned chairs, pool playing, and large-breasted waitresses are your thing, then this is the place for you. All the tables are facing the street for yet more visual stimulation, and the cocktails just keep on coming. There's also an internet cafe here.

Plato's
Hidden inside an old house, this place feels like a jazz joint or a bistro that wouldn't be out of place in Montmartre. Beer from all over the world is served, but only to those who are respectably dressed: no shorts or T-shirts allowed (miniskirts are OK, though).

K-Cineplex
Six screens, stereo surround sound, supercomfortable reclining seats, Hollywood blockbusters. There is a bowling alley, Irish pub and a restaurant within the complex. It's a five- to 10- minute taxi ride to the west of the city centre near the Kamares aqueduct.

F
Graffiti Bar
Silky drops hang over cushioned sofas in a very Middle Eastern style. Nargileh smoke billows over the cocktail-drinking customers, and the garden where all this happens is behind an old mansion that the becomes the bar's location during the winter months.

G
Hammam
This heavenly old colonial house, with a grand arched door and beautifully tiled floors, is perfect for sitting under the stars and sipping a cocktail beneath the aromatic fig tree. The music is good and the atmosphere relaxed.

Erotiko
Although it's by Famagusta Gate, this place feels and looks like a beach bar. There's loud house music, the garden is surrounded by bamboo fences, and the crowd is young and jolly (although not wearing bikinis).

Alexander's
If you don't want to get too involved, but want to see it all, this place has an all-encompassing view of the action. It's a definite voyeur's favourite, located at the top of the Square.

Freedom Reggae Bar
A bar with a difference in that it opens for breakfast, when clubbed out punters head here for the exceptionally chilled-out atmosphere. Freedom even serves an early Sunday roast.
