Nicosia (Lefkosia)


This decidedly unflashy bar-club is one of the granddaddies of the Old City scene, having been in the business of providing a fun night out since 1998. Monday is R & B night and Friday is a 'Thinking Outside the Box' gay-friendly party. Some nights there's a small admission fee (usually around €3). Happy hour (two-for-one drinks) is between 10pm and 11pm.

During summer, the drinking and dancing spreads into the outdoor courtyard.
