Plato's Bar, Nicosia

Plato's Bar, Nicosia

Known far beyond the city limits, Plato’s Bar has earned its reputation as the go-to destination for nightlife in Cyprus’s capital. With a drink menu that reads like a boozy encyclopedia-featuring everything from rare whiskeys and craft beers to custom cocktails-Plato’s ensures that even the most selective palates leave satisfied.

The atmosphere strikes a smart balance between cozy and electric. Inside, the décor blends modern bar aesthetics with quirky antique touches-none more memorable than the eye-catching collection of old pistols that line the walls, offering conversation fodder for both history buffs and tipsy newcomers. There’s a space for everyone, whether you’re looking to relax in the non-smoking lounge, light up in the smoking area, or enjoy the Mediterranean air on the outdoor patio.

Popular with both locals and travelers, Plato’s Bar is more than just a place to grab a drink. It's where evenings begin and, sometimes, where nights stretch into morning. The bartenders are as knowledgeable as they are friendly, happy to guide you through the extensive menu, or surprise you with a personal recommendation. Add to that a well-curated music selection and a social, easygoing crowd, and you’ve got the ideal mix for a night out in Nicosia.

Whether you’re winding down after exploring the Old Town or diving headfirst into a night of Cypriot revelry, Plato’s Bar offers an authentic, memorable experience at the heart of the city’s nightlife scene.
