Brewery Nicosia
Quality of food: The food is good but not excellent. I have had the Brewery Platter (sausages, kebabs etc), the pork chop and the western burger. They were tasty but not something that you cannot find anywhere else.
Service: Brewery has excellent service. The waiters/ waitresses are usually smiley and ready to help. Never had any problem whenever I went there.
Atmosphere: I like the atmosphere and the decor in the pub.
Value for money: The prices are a little bit more expensive than normal. For example Petritis wine is sold for 22 Euro where everywhere else it is about 15-17 Euro. Prices for some meals are expensive and for some others cheaper. In general though, I would say it is an expensive pub.
Tip: Try the wheat beer of Brewery
In general, I would recommend this place for a relaxing drinking night

CoCo Lounge
This lounge/ bar is located in the Emporiki Stoa in Nicosia.
Service: Not impressed by the service. There were only two waitresses for about 15 tables, which made it hard for them to keep up with…just taking our orders. The combination of having a bar with people ordering drinks all the time with making cocktails does not work. It took them about 15 minutes to serve our cocktails with the usual excuse that the barmen can't keep up making mixed drinks and cocktails.
Quality of drinks: I had three mojitos. There were in big glasses which made me happy. The first and the third were tasty and I liked them, the second one I think they forgot the sugar..Again, I think this is what happens when you have only two barmen for who knows how many people.
Value for money: Cocktails were priced at 9 Euros which is about the usual in Nicosia.
Atmosphere: The atmosphere is pretty nice. It is a nice decorated place and the people hanging there were nice. I liked the fact that it was not too packed and that there was a lot of space between tables.
