Gemens cafe bar is just a few yards down from the Hotel Aloe, the beer on draught is Keo the best local brew at €2.50 a pint it was €3.80 in the hotel - better during happy hour though at 5.30pm it was €1.75. Gemens is very popular with guests from the hotel for they serve good meals at a reasonable price, try the chips (fries). There is a pool table. The service is friendly and quick. This is a local family run business, they also have a shop at the right hand side of the cafe bar. They are closed on a Sunday. Try Gemens cafe bar in Paphos you won't be disappointed.
