the orange bar

I just got back form Ios, and went out with a group of friends. One friend had been to Ios the year before and in the months leading up to this visit continually mentioned how amazing the Orange Bar is and the shots they serve.They was right.As a bit of a chocoholic I was in even shotting Maltesers, Snickers, Aero Mint and Twix shots. I got into a big of an argument with one guy as he was convinced that there was no alcohol in the shots and it was just melted down chocolate. He was wrong, whilst you couldn't taste the alcohol it definitely was in there! The chocolate shots weren't only the selling point though, there was loads of shots with funny/witty names that tasted delicious and well worth the purchase!I highly recommend the Orange Bar to everyone who visits Ios. They play songs on requests and the owners are the most loveliest people on the Island!Visit Ios and have a shot,Chris

Orange bar is the best place I've ever had a shot in my life. The shots are taist like your eating what your shotting! Its a must thing to do when in Ios. Everyone was so friendly and awesome!

Just returned back from a holiday to Ios and had to write about the Orange Bar. What an amazing place it is! When i arrived there were many people inside, all ordering shots and there was a line of drinks the length of the bar. I had to try the famous shots on the menu and i was delighted with the taste of them,the key lime pie was my favorite! Also the music was so good and they played all my requests. Will come back next year for sure!

Once again the Orange bar rules. Been coming to Ios for 9 years and the Orange bar still has the best shots on the island. DJ Panos is amazing and always plays my favourite Depeche Mode song when he sees me walk through the door. Ios wouldnt be Ios without the mixology skills of Wendy and a trip to Ios isnt complete without a trip to Orange. Chocolate bars shots that taste exactly like a melted down bar. In summary I love the Orange Bar

I read the reviews and tried to visit it, but this bar was closed on 18th August, and asking local people they informed me that there were legal matters that close it. Without experiencing on my own, just making a note that if it is still open, guest should check for the quality of the drinks.

we only popped in for a short visit for some shots - what a range they have, do 7 shots and get a free tee- unfortunitly i missed out on getting the tee at this bar, but the names of all the drinks are funny.

Simply the best rock bar on Ios! And the most amazing shots in the world. You have try all of them. Panos and Wendy are there to make your night special. Orange bar rocks. Cheers!

There are more shots here than you can imagine, i think we got through every single one of them. The bar is great, wendy and panos, the owners are the nicest ever, and you get a free tshirt every 7 shots - trust me you'll get that far! Ios is a brilliant island, so much fun, but orange bar is absolutely unmissable!!! Malteaser shot might just be my favourite thing ever!

I went to Ios recently on a boozey graduation trip and my schoolmates and I all agreed that this was the best bar in Ios. We loved it so much that we proposed a shot named after our school which hopefully next year's graduating class will be able to take full advantage of. With inventive, delicious, wittily named shots and very friendly staff no night in Ios is complete without a trip to Orange Bar. The music they played is a refreshing change from the repetitiveness of the other bars and they were also brilliant at responding to any song requests, even playing "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate, despite the fact that the song could hardly be described as rock. Orange Bar's originality made it the only bar that left a distinct impression on me and I only wish there were more bars like it in Ios. After all, there are few places where one can have a shot named in homage to Che Guevara whilst listening to The Rolling Stones. Thoroughly recommended, hands down the best bar in Ios.

Loved it in here. Great drinks. Great music. Friendly staff. nashville P***y - ooya! The shots were ace!

This was my return trip to Ios, and staying on the island for a month, everyone I met, all my friends that came, I would not let them leave the island without stopping at Orange Bar!!Yes. It's THAT good.Wendy and Panos the owners are absolutely brilliant! Such fun characters, with Panos tending to the music (a lot of rock) and Wendy being so patient taking the time to talk to everyone at the bar! And also being patient when people can't make up their mind, which I assume happens a lot!I'm afraid to say I can't exactly remember how many shots are on the menu, but let me tell you now, there is something for everyone!! I'm going to follow the masses and say that yes, the Malteasers shot is a must have! But please, buy 7, you'll get a free T-shirt! And you will definitely not regret it! NOBODY I have ever met, dislikes Orange Bar. There is something novelty in taking shots of alcohol that taste like something else! Never gets old! And they're always coming up with new concoctions, so if you have a bright idea, maybe jot it down!

As many others have said, you can't leave Ios without dropping by Orange at least once! The diverse selection of shots offered is truly remarkable! A few flavored shots are : Twix, Maltesers, Key Lime pie, Cheesecake, Bounty and soooo many more. Go and see for yourself! Ask the staff to help you out too, they're really cool people :)

Don't leave Ios without visiting this bar! My friend told me it was a cool bar and they had great shots but it wasn't until I actually tried the shots that I believed it!! We did the 7 shots free tshirt thing so we got to try a few. Hands down you need to try malteser shot!!! But other than the shots, the owners Wendy and Panos were great fun, lovely pair, and the rock music is really fun! They play requests too of course! Whether the bar is busy or quiet you will enjoy. We went 4 nights in a row :)

If you only do one thing this summer (or next) you MUST have a shot of malteser vodka - truly my favourite alcoholic drink in the whole world. Aside from this they have a great shots menu filled with weird and wonderful concoctions that must be tried, such as chocolate brownie, bounty and raspberry cheesecake. Playing the best rock music from a huge collection of great songs, owners Wendy and Panos have got it spot on with Orange Bar. Highly highly recommended.

Everyone feels welcome there- its got such lovely personal touches. The staff are fantastic! Wendy has a great taste for creating shots! and Panos has amazing music taste! the bar is filled with fun people and I guarantee its one of the best nights out. A trip to Ios isnt a holiday without visiting this very special bar!
