The Nags Head Pub

GC: GOING OUT

The Nags Head Pub

LIMASSOL

Whilst we have been producing GC043 the World Cup has come and gone, so what better place to review than the Nags Head after paying several visits here to watch England’s inevitable march to quarter final mediocrity. I used to kind of avoid sports bars as I always associated them with American beer, chicken wings menu and sports I never cared about. However, the Nags Head is different.

If you have not been before, the Nags Head is in Germasogeia which has been one of the few bars who have survived the transition from the era of 1990’s heyday of Limassol mass tourism, to evolving into a modern city and moving with the times and needs of its clientele. Although it mainly focuses on football, of which they do incredibly well, you are very well looked after with more TV’s than a Sony factory in the main bar. Moreover, you can also sit in the new pool room where you can grab one of the huge tables if you have a big party of people and many platters to devour. Although it proudly claims to be beer, burgers and sport (again which it does incredibly well) the menu is more diverse than you would expect. As an experienced pub enthusiast I was surprised to see such dishes as chicken mango on the menu. (Fillet, mango, ragulla, pineapple mixed greens, walnuts, parmesan flakes and green apple. Which is also served with a light apple dressing.) Now to me that is not what your regular dish that you would get in a standard British sports bar, by aiming to make those who may not sit in the easy sweet spot client of beer and football welcome.

If you are eating there and are not a big sports fan, the crowd is not boisterous so you can enjoy your food without the usual aggro that can go with eating in some sports bars where it can get a little intimidating for some. The Nags Head is without doubt a very family friendly establishment that welcomes all.

They have kept good pub orthodoxies of very fast service with the drinks and enough space where you don’t feel like you are sitting on top of each other. And One minor thing that always gets a solid recommendation from me, is that they always give you the bill quickly. In too many places you are left sat around waiting to get out of there. This sounds like a small thing, but is a big thing if you have kids or have to be somewhere else this can be as important as getting your drink.

Well worth a visit for any sporting event, alternatively you just want a Sunday roast dinner you will walk away with a full stomach and being incredibly content.

GC would strongly advise always booking ahead as the venue can get rammed for even the most random sporting event.
