Where to start with one of the most dominant names on the strip bar wise, tiki-style cocktails, a pool table and the legendary Haribo Headfucker. Cheeky Tikis is a great place to start your night on the Zante strip.

O'Callaghan's Loft offers a laid-back Irish pub vibe in the heart of Laganas, making it a relaxed option on Zante’s otherwise high-energy strip. Located above street level, the loft’s small balcony is a decent spot to enjoy a drink while watching the nightlife unfold below. It has a cozy, low-key atmosphere which can feel like a refreshing break from the clubs and louder bars nearby.
While it doesn’t host any major events or late-night parties, O'Callaghan's Loft serves as a casual spot to start the night or wind down after an evening out. The drink selection is straightforward, with classic cocktails and Irish pub staples, though it lacks the variety or unique offerings found in some other venues. It’s best for those looking to relax and take in the scene rather than dive into Zante’s more intense party vibe.
Rating - 3.5/5
Recommendation - Stop by in the early evening for a quieter experience or if you want a casual spot to chill with friends before exploring the main nightlife on the strip.
