Depends where you are staying, but you have to go a long way to beat the newly refurbished Pines Bay, just near the Alsancak Arch.



Huge screen for sport, great menu, pool tables, plus use of the hotel facilities.

And the owner is a big Arsenal fan!. What more could you ask for!!!

Went to the Pine Bay Club back in November whilst it was being refurbished. Glad to know that it has all been done. Not sure about the Arsenal bit though!

I too would recommend JK's in Lapta. The place has a huge terrace on the top of the new building, a blessing if you don't smoke, as the bar was pretty smokey most evenings we were there.



But alround a good place. It's just at the turnoff for the Sempati Hotel, same side of the road.

Hopefully JK's will get some shade up on the roof otherwise you'll burn to a crisp in the summer!!

For a bit of comfort, try the Celebrity, downstairs under the hotel (actually under the road).

Very comfortable seating for watching the sports, 3 pool tables, 1 bar billiards, all the sports channels, 4 TV's, one large plamsa and a projector for big games, (oh!, and a cr@p pool team!!) and they have the very palletable Fassel (local larger) for 2.5ytl a pint.

Cheers

Yes Jk's is British owned and yes some shade up on the roof would be very welcome.



A swimming pool on the ground next to it would go down well to Me thinks.

No Woody's is not there anymore, but has changed to another name, that I can't think of now.



That place is between Lapta and Girne, in Alsankak I think.



Jk's is about as far west in Lapta as you can get on the main road, on the right hand side of the road.
