Simply the best bar in Protaras,
Excellent entertainment covering all genres every night of the week.
The team at Ghetto bar are all amazing, friendly and make you feel very welcome.
If you don’t do anything else whilst in Protaras make sure you go see Freddy Mercury, Neil Diamond and Rod Stewart tributes even if your not a fan you will be by the end of the night and it’s a great night of entertainment great party atmosphere
And all with the added bonus of reasonably priced great cocktails and other drinks
Long Island ice tea, strawberry daiquiri all day long
Well done Ghetto bar for getting it so right 👌😎

We came here a few times during our week's holiday in Protaras and it was great! The cocktails are delicious- if you like something sweet, I would recommend the Lost in Translation, but they have a great variety of all types of drinks. We also enjoyed the espresso martinis as well.
The live music was great, from Amy Winehouse, Rod Stewart, and the Ska Man- there is always something going on there and it is fun!
Finally the staff are fantastic- there were two women serving us who were so friendly and very quick, and even joked with us that we wouldn't need the cocktail menu on the last night.. and yes she was right!
This is a great venue for an evening of cocktails and fun live entertainment, and we had a great time there.

This bar is stunning has a great sound system too. The cocktails are to die for my favorite is the porn star martini. The signature cocktails are amazing lost in translation is another amazing one to try... Service is fast and friendly. This bar has by far the best entertainment on the strip blues brothers were great Tina Turner is fab and the rag n bone man and Amy winehouse and there duo show equlibreem not seen them advertised anywhere else on the strip.

Went in just for a few drinks after a meal just to chill for a while , waitress told us we couldn't sit where we wanted but showed us to a 2 seat table in a dark area , we sat down but wasn't happy as the bar was empty . the manager came over to the waitress and asked what happened and my husband heard her say it was easy for her to put us on a 2 seat table, well after hearing that we walked out, The manager overheard me saying that I wasn't sure why we couldn't sit where we wanted as they were empty , he then shouted over to us ,We are going to be busy later in a attitude voice. we will never go back.

The bar gets really busy in no time. It can be quiet at 8.30 and packed at 9.30pm Therefore, we put couples on a table for 2 as tables for 2 are for 2 people. We haven't been busy in 2 years due to COVID. If there was no seating arrangement we would end up with 1/4 of the bar seats vacant as people would choose to sit on a table for 4 when it's just 2. I apologise your experience wasn't the best but surely you will not be paying rent on our behalf at the end of the season. We take pride in our service and attitude towards people. We are in the tourism business for over 40 years.

I used to come to Ghetto Bar years ago in it's old location so I had to visit it 10 years later in it's new spot. Great bar, great acts, great drinks and service. Rag n Bone man was my favourite tribute act, Becky and Katya were fantastic and friendly every night and big mention to Stelios pouring drinks for the entire bar by himself when it was full.
Thanks guys, see you next year.

Live entertainment at the Ghetto Bar. Basically tribute acts Amy Whinehouse, Rag and Bone Man, Robbie Williams and Ska man who does various Ska songs from different bands. We didn’t go here for the tributes to be fair, we went here for the Gin and Tonics, they are very good here with decent tonic.

Being as there do seem like a lot of favorable reviews for this place, I don't want to give them a 1 star - but I came here on a recommendation and would not come back.
I was sold on the cocktails, but my whole party found them really sugary and as though they were pre-mixed rather than fresh. The entertainment was also really bad. Some guy with no stage presence singing a very confusing medley of songs - and then I noticed someone miming to Michael Jackson on the walk back past.

We have never had a miming Michael Jackson perform at the Ghetto. NEVER, not even once since we have opened. Are you sure you are reviewing the right place? What cocktails have you had that are premixed and sugary? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. We only use Monin premium fruit purees and fresh fruit. This leads me to believe you are either reviewing the wrong place or you are deliberately writing this to affect us negatively.

Where do I start........ the bar itself has been done in a beautiful way completely modern look to it and set up in a way you can sit and relax for the evening and just watch the world go by whilst enjoying the various entertainment that is on here daily. The staff here are amazing, everyone so friendly and was made to feel extremely welcome from the moment we stepped inside....... now if this was not enough it just got better when I ordered and tasted the ghetto famous porn star martini, without a doubt one of the finest cocktails I have ever tasted, it came out and looked as good as it tastes i can't even put into words how much i enjoy this drink. This is a bar you do not want to miss out on whilst here in Cyprus......

Well, a properly made Espresso Martini will always win my heart, But the added extra is the service! Lovely ladies with great characters and big smiles. We’ve been coming to Cyprus all ours lives, and tonight we’ve finally found a bar that has it all. Entertainment, good cocktails and the football (bonus!)

This was one of umpteen bars we visited in September and it was the only one where the covid rules were totally ignored. We were greeted at the entrance by who we think could possibly be the owner, shown to a table and then waited 10 minutes for someone to take our drink order. The man who was seating people was bringing in lots and lots of people, pushing tables together , grabbing extra chairs and mixing strangers with strangers on the same table without even a thought to anyone’s safety. We drank up quick and left.

Is it possible to decrease volume of your night music? Protaras is known as a place for family vacations. I'm able to hear each word from my hotel room with closed windows.
