Babylon, Nicosia

Babylon, Nicosia

Nestled in the heart of Nicosia on Iasonos Street, Babylon Bar & Grill holds the distinction of being one of the oldest pubs and restaurants in Cyprus. Set inside a charming 1950s building, Babylon blends nostalgic charm with a contemporary flair, offering a warm, relaxed atmosphere that draws both locals and visitors.

The venue is thoughtfully designed for comfort all year round-its candle-lit interior, fireplace, and retro décor provide a cozy escape on cooler days, while the lively outdoor patio becomes a summer favorite, especially with its wide-screen TVs and inviting tables. The bar’s timeless appeal lies in its ability to create an environment that’s both mellow and vibrant-ideal for unwinding after a long day or kicking off a night on the town.

Serving an extensive range of drinks and a tantalizing grilled menu, Babylon is more than just a place to eat-it's a social hub. Whether you're after a quiet cocktail, a hearty meal, or simply a place to share laughs with fellow travelers and locals, this spot delivers. The atmosphere picks up in the evening, evolving into a lively nightlife scene with music, themed nights, and special events that keep the energy high.

Open daily from late afternoon until the early hours, Babylon is a must-visit for anyone wanting to tap into Nicosia's rhythm. Friendly service, great food, and an ever-changing social vibe make each visit memorable. Come for the grill, stay for the stories-Babylon is where Nicosia gathers, celebrates, and unwinds.
