May 17 & 18, 2025 | Eleftherias Square, Nicosia
Free Entry | 17:00 – 23:00
The Mediterranean Bar Show 2025 returns with a bold new energy — transforming the heart of Nicosia into a two-day celebration of Mediterranean bar culture, creativity, and connection.
On May 17 & 18, the iconic Eleftherias Square will become an open-air hub where cocktails meet culture, street food meets music, and brands meet people. With free entry for all, the festival invites guests to taste, explore, and connect with some of the most exciting names in the region’s hospitality scene.
This year’s event features 25+ pop-up bars with takeovers by acclaimed bars and bartenders from Cyprus, Greece, and across Europe. Visitors can sample 50+ original cocktails, explore the local craft beer scene, and enjoy premium street food offerings — all while DJs set the rhythm for a high-energy experience.
The show isn’t just for sipping — it’s also about sharing knowledge. Guests can attend free seminars and tastings designed for both industry professionals and curious consumers. Topics range from mixology and sustainability to emerging trends in Mediterranean spirits.
