Bar review: Plus Soda, Larnaca

2011-11-19

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. 

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
