Agree with Rosie, Leigh and Paula and staff (steady Eddy) are very friendly and welcoming.  I'm glad they will be running the bar next year and will definately be visiting.  George, hope you have sorted out the CD's for Karaoke!!!

Rosie B          10/10

Went into this bar this year, as I had read some good comments about it. I had stoppped visiting this bar for the last couple of years as it had lost its appeal. I was not dissappointed this year as Leigh and Paula are indeed lovely. I reccomend you visit this bar  during your stay in Kalamaki.  I will definately be visiting this bar again next year when I return. Love to Leigh Paula and Co. and Thanks for contributing to our great holiday..

Hello to one and all
 
Just got back from Zante, and ive gotta say the place just gets better,
The Rose and Crown has had some changes, and all good!
 
Now behind the bar and managing the pub is Leigh and Paula, a really friendly english couple who made our nights most memorable,
 
Also Edward is working the area (a job as kostas) infact its his cousin!
 
Yiannis is not there this year and kostas has moved to Lagana to Sprios new bar (Central) we made a few trips to see spiros and sadly HE'S GOT RID OF THE PONY TAIL!!!!
 
But all is good and i wish Spiro and all the gang all the best
 
A special thank you to Leigh and Paula for making our holiday so enjoyable!
 
All the best
 
 
Matt n Kelly
 
p.s - Leigh - Enjoy the fish finger butty mate!

Hello to Yiannis, Joanne George etc.  Its lisa. had wonderful meals here. Been coming to Zante for 5 years now. Just keeps getting better.  Have a wonderful summer if i dont get iout there to see you this year.

 
Say hello to Spiros for me too, is he still running the other bar on the beach at Agios Sostis?
 
 
 

Sarah H           

had a real good laugh costas taught my 4 year old how to mix cocktails...

costas i'm in love with him and his energy..
great staff.
 
recommend to anyone... dont let costas sing though if you still want your eardrums
really upset we had to come home

Sarah A           

We went here to watch some football and ended up leaving at half time to go to another bar. There were quite a few people trying to watch football yet the music was on so loud you couldn't even talk to each other. We also felt like we were invisible and were not really made to feel welcome.

Some of the people, who weren't watching the football, seemed to be having a good time but I just thought that if they had football on then those people watching should also be able to have a decent time too.

Michelle H

Aude P           

hi, thanks for a brilliant holiday, it was a pity we didnt fine this pub the first 4 nights of our holiday, connor now wants to work as a barman and shake the cocktails like his idol Costas, a special thank you to Lara the waitress, who is a very hard working and enthusiastic girl, she lifts the spirits of all who enter the pub.  Its just a pity the DJ NEVER RECOGNISES THE HARD WORK SHE PUTS IN, he never announces her when he is running through all the staff that work there, get your finger out MR DJ AND THANK THE LASS,  HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR.  IT IS NOW PEEING DOWN IN NEWCASTLE, missing you all.
 
thanks aude, jim (the one that could drink almost anything put in front of him) and connor (the fabulous cocktail maker)

  just back from kalamki 3rd time in less than a year, everyone at rose and crown and parthenon as welcoming as ever,I have brians e-mail address if anyone wants it, see everyone again in september. If you go ,you must go down and see spiros his bar is really nice(still prefer the r/c though.)

Zena C           

Hi everyone!As Brian has no internet facility,he has asked me to convey this message to everyone.He won't be in Zante this year due to his dad being very poorly.He sends his best wishes to everyone at the Rose and Crown but most of all to all the friends he has made over the years who visit.He hopes you all have a great time this summer and hopefully he will see you in the future.

Gia sou, Just returned back from zante (kalamaki) thought id put a qwuick post up.Well it is true that Brian is not at the Rose and Crown this year, If Brian reads this i hope everythings ok mate.
Also Spiro has decided to expand the Empire! and has moved to Lagana , He has just opened up the "Oasis" beach bar which is set on the beach just on the side of lagana, I was lucky enough for yiannis to take me to see him and he wishes everyone all the best.
The Rose and Crown is still running and even though we attended in the opening week the place is still as fun as it ever was, Kosta is the "Man of the Hour" and his english is getting better !
Yiannis (friend of Spiro) has joined the team at the Rose and Crown and is an excellent bloke, very philosophical!
Ive added a few pics for you all to see and hope everyone enjoys the holidays in Zante this year!
 
Yiamas!
Mattaious

Arite Mate!

Susan B           

I don't know about the best bar in kalamaki,we have been to many bars in many places in the world and find the staff here some of the best,just back 1 week ago (second time this year) spiros, Brian,little man,and all the staff next door are fantastic,going back again next year,wish we could go back this year again,if you want a really GOOD night out this is the place,and if you wan't GREAT FOOD go next door,ask Spiros what to eat as his mum is the greatest cook in the world,try the greek roast potatoes,

Sharon W           

Cannot really comment on what the bar itself is like.  We were next door at the restaurant - owned/run by the same people.  I only drink Gordons gin (yes, I know its fussy and it drives me mad as well but I cannot stand any other sort).  The restaurant said it did not have any Gordons gin and would go next door to the Rose and Crown to get it from there.  The waiter returned with a Smirnoff Ice and said that the Rose & Crown didn't have Gordons gin.  WHAT?  This is supposed to be an English pub and all English pubs sell Gordon's gin (and I should know, being an ex-landlady of a pub).  Seems to me that the so-called English pub was so English after all.

Needless to say we didn't go there.

George            

hi everybody its george thank you all for your very good comments!!!

Yvonne C           

hi everyone. i cant believe it has only been 5 days since i arrived home. it feels like a month. im missing you all so much.it is the first time where i have seen my mum being herself. you certainly got her out of her shell.i have never laughed so much in my life. i am definately coming back next year with a bang so be prepared. say hello to reni for me. i cant wait to see her at the wedding in bulgaria and congratulations again. you really suit each other.. well what can i say about costos. he is a law on to him self. if you want a real good time in kalamaki then this is the man to be with. make sure you take me on one of your trips to laganas. spiros never seems to stop. i want to no what you are taking so i can have some. cant wait to see you in london. you have better come because i no where you live.(i dont really) hayley  was a fantastic singer and i wish her all the best and make sure you rest your voice so you dont get another throat infection. last but not least brian. he was like a best friend, protective brother and a dad all rolled into one. he was fab. cant wait to see you all.  bye for now.xx

Lesley B           

walked into this bar, for the first time in a year, greeted by the right name, with a hug, and the right drinks placed on the bar before us! now that is service! spiros, brian, and costas, thankyou for a great time xx
