We stayed at the Beach House, so cocktails at the Virago was our final stop of the night. Every night. Good Covid distancing in place.
Great choice of cocktails available including alcohol free. Attentive service from Vikki. Little taster cocktails brought round every evening. This was my young teens favourite bar of the holiday.
Visits from Pappy the dog and his friend Arry from next door were highlights for the kids.

We had eaten next door at Apollo, and went here after as didn't want to walk into town. The drinks were well presented, we had Aperol spritz, which were also reasonable. Loved the music, all alternate 80s, it was lovely taking a trip down memory lane to my teenage years.

Lovely owners and nice relaxed atmosphere. Each night we visited we were given a free shot to help with our enjoyment of the evening. There was never any pressure to keep buying more and we were able to just relax and enjoy our surroundings and the chilled-outmusic. If I was to be negative at all, I would say there was not much alcohol in the cocktails but that didn't spoil them for us!

We’re sorry to hear we didn’t live up to your expectations. Your visit unfortunately coincided with the death of our nine year old niece which is why we were a little off colour this week. I’m sure if you give us another try we can do much better.

Just to clarify my 'thumbs up' on the review titled 'Poor' from 23 October 2014 was a huge thumbs up to the management response.....very eloquently put!!....and NOT to the very negative review posted. My previous review details that we returned here for a drink some 15 plus years after a previous holiday, and were met with exactly the same warm welcome that we experienced all those years ago. I know these reviews are peoples personal views of their own personal experiences, but family run businesses like this are to be commended for their longevity in such harsh climates. We Brits are not backwards in coming forwards in our criticisms of things/situations and are unfortunately not so forthcoming when it comes to praise. Perhaps we should learn to speak up more at the time (as a Greek person would no doubt do...when in Rome and all that!!) and allow the person(s) to whom the criticisms are directed to show their true colours in how they handle/rectify the situation. Unfortunately it would appear that this didn't happen here. Keep up the good (and hard!) work Vikki and Spiros...We will be back!!

This bar was out of town but,in my opinion, one of the busiest in alykes. We would go before our evening meal and visit again at the end of the night. we were stopping in nikos which is just round the corner from this bar. The cocktails are very good and at the end of the night we would get a shot brought to our table. I would do recommend this chilling relaxing bar.

This bar was literally on our doorstep so very convenient. The owners Vicky and Spiros are lovely people. The cocktails are lovely and soo cheap. We tried a variety and loved most of them. The location is nice for people watching too. They have 2 dogs and cats and they are friendly too.

Been here several times over the holiday, enjoying each time. Simple bar with good cocktails, nice staff and personally I've enjoyed the music choices here. Clean and looked after.

They seem to care if you have a good time too, not just about taking your money. Not everywhere in Alykes is the same sadly.

Try this bar if you like to relax with a good drink.
