Bar review: Plus Soda, Larnaca

If you like your nightspot with a bit of funk, a touch cool and some style thrown in on top, Plus Soda in Larnaca is the place to be. Behind this relatively new establishment is an experienced team that seems to know exactly the right blend to create a great location for some fun. Looking fresh from the outside and with a very suave interior, Plus Soda could well become a permanent fixture on anyone’s ‘out’ list.

On the corner of Lord Byron and Gregoris Afxentiou streets, its location is very easily found. We visited on a Friday which is ‘live music’ night but as we found out later, the place is very varied in what it has to offer. The décor almost puts you in the mood by itself; such is the influence of colour and light. 

Impressions also definitely point to a strong focus on customer experience. The music was excellent with the staff playing their part in creating an enjoyable atmosphere. Drinks are priced well for a place of this calibre too, it’s easy to come here and not overspend whilst still having a good time. The menu is accommodating with a whole range of cocktails also. The ‘boss’s choice’ is the Martini recommended straight from the man himself. 

In terms of the weekly programme, there’s a distinct chill out vibe to weekdays. Friday is live music night, Saturday mainstream and also the best night for a party and Sunday will soon feature jazz in the afternoon for something a little mellower. One thing stands out for sure; there is definitely something for everyone here.

So if you’re looking to try out something new or simply looking for a good time, Plus Soda is a must visit place to add to your list. A good start may be this Friday, November 18 when PitchBend recordings will perform there live.
