Nice location and overall a great-looking place. Unfortunately, the experience was ruined by an extremely rude waitress. (the brunette one)

Amazing place! We went twice in one day. The spinach pie was fantastic and we had lovely views over the bay. The lady that runs the place was also really friendly. Probably going back tomorrow!

Amazing bar on the waterfront, great prices on happy hour cocktails but the main reason we kept coming back was for the lovely servers - we can’t wait to come back next year! From the couple always playing UNO :)

Very good cocktails, between 5 pm and 9 pm is happy hour, 7 euros per cocktail, we enjoyed every night there.

Great place for a drink in Gaios. Seating by the water so you can enjoy watching all the boats and people go by, along with happy hour (€7) on cocktails from 5-9pm, and friendly staff, make it a good spot to enjoy the afternoon/evening.

The totally best Bar in Paxos. Amazing cocktails- especially during happy hour. Great service, and even a game of chess with the locals!! Totally wish we were still here

We came here for a drink on our first night and met Helen. She is such a nice lady, all the staff are, in fact. We have been back most evenings and occasionally for lunches. The club sandwiches are amazing in particular, but so are the gyros. Everything we return Helen greets us as though we are long-time friends, with a great big smile and a hug. With a lovely view over the port, it is a perfect spot for a drink or some food. I cannot recommend this place enough.
