Title: Beer O’Clock
Post by: loftyscot on July 24, 2019, 01:44:36 AM: We ate at all the old favourites this year. Beer O’Clock was another new one we tried which wasn’t there when we last visited.

The food was brilliant and what we like about it was that it was a real good mix of casual dining, burgers, fish and chips, as well other dishes such as steak a la creme.

We found the owners Spiros and Zoe to be exceptionally friendly. Also, their son to be particularly attentive, as well as am aspiring boxer!

Great diner / pub and we vaguely remember polishing off a few glasses of the Metaxa 5 on our last night, ;D

We did use it before when it was The Olive Press.

Post by: WINKIE on September 28, 2019, 11:07:54 AM: Have read elsewhere, that Beer O Clock is closed for good. The buildings owner apparently raised the rent, and its just not viable for Spiros to carry on, sad times, lovely food there.

Funny enough, when I was in the restaurant on Tuesday night Spiros mentioned that the business had a poor summer, but he never told me he was going to shup up shop for good. Really sad news, I loved the place.

Post by: Grounded on October 05, 2019, 07:40:41 AM: We are sorry to hear Beer O'Clock has gone belly up. We really enjoyed eating there in 2017. They had a quite an exciting menu and their service was tops. We were looking forward to visiting again when we return to the northern hemisphere in 2121. Still we hope to have 3 weeks in San Stef and there are lots of other great places to eat. Unlike when we first came. I think there were 4 tavernas and the Nafsica.
Quite frankly we can't wait and we are dusting off the Greek language books.
Cheers.
