Fran M          10/10

Second visit to Kalamaki and Oceanic is even better than last year with the addition of dessert menu cocktails such as black forest gateau and the irresistable lemon cheesecake cocktails in addition to the other 100+ Kev knows how to make.  The mini connect 4 games on the tables added a bit of fun too.

Had some great nights in here with Kev and it was lovely to meet Helen, Joanne and Steve, Anne S and Johnny, Jane and Gareth (Castigers) and Ashling and Joe.  No night in Kalamaki was complete without a cocktail or few in Oceanic.
 
All the best for 2009 and hope to see you next year!

Anne S          10/10

Hi guys, i'll keep your sofa reserved for you haha. Places closed are Mustang but opened as something else now, Safari, Castellos, Kenny's Bar, Sugar Reef closed at moment but is opening, Panorama and i think thats it, for now. So not that bad but we'll have to see how the season goes on.

Brian L          10/10

Have used kevs bar twice a year since he moved to kalamki i am an early drinker so we arrive each night as kev is setting up. If you have never used the bar you should give it a go you will find kev to be a fine host and always very helpful .If you read this kev we will be a bit later this year normally early june but due to family wedding wont see you until 2nd july should be on the step as you open.If you update your blog in near future can you put soom info on whats closed and changed ect Give our regards to dereck and veronica see you soon keep busy.

Kevlar           10/10

Well i'm here, i'm sorted, i'm open and so far its been brilliant, lovely in the days, not to cold at nights and business better than i'd planned for , so happy days, so far that is LOL

Kevlar           10/10

You can never keep a good man down LOL From what i've been reading and hearing rumours and gossip and already going around about my bar.

Well sorry to disappoint people in Kalamaki but i'm back 6am Mon 4th and open by 7pm.
 
It doesn't take me that long to set up bar as bugger all to set up haha and the first main flights are sunday 3rd so thought i'd leave it till i could get a direct flight instead of going via Athens this year so thats the reason why i'm out there late this season, so hope that stops the gossip, don't believe everything you hear LOL.
 
See you all soon folks, keep up with whats going on on my blog.
 

Nat N

Hi Kev

Anne S          10/10

After reading all the great comments we will go to Oceanic when we come over in June.Been so many times to Kalamaki but have a habit of staying in the same bars.

Kevlar           10/10

Thank you for the lovely comments your very kind all of you, to be honest i'm just being me, its not a act, if you like me thats cool and if you don't thats also fine but i'll continue to be me and run my bar the way it is with the same style, music and serving the real deal drinks not cheap makes at the lowest price i can, there's no need to be greedy or to cheat my customers. hope to see alot of you this season or in the seasons to come. Hope your winter has been kind to you and roll on May with the sun, sea and screaming orgasms (cocktails they are LOL).

Kat S          10/10

KEV is awesome, best bar host you could ever wish for...took my time in writing this but atleast im doing it. He'll make any drink you ask for even make something up for you if you wish, i forgot to name mine before i left though, will just have to go back again. What a pity. He also has a great taste in music, just something completely different from everywhere else that you can go to drink, and the drinks are better too. 

Mark W          10/10

click to enlargeStayed at the Cavo D'Oro in June for 2 weeks and didn't really visit Kev's bar until 5 days in or so, wished I had've earlier. Kev is a great host, beer is the cheapest in Kalamaki and a cracking pint. My girlfriend Joanne loved the Phillips tea lightsand we bought them from Amazon as soon as we got back.

The bar is really nice, nothing flash just comfortable seating and good music in the background and Kev running round ensuring everyone is happy. Top marks to a top bloke, the next time I'm back I'm heading straight there.

An excellent chilled out bar with an extremely friendly, laid back atmosphere & very good drinks.

Oceanic is on our must visit list every time we go to Zante (& we always stay in Argassi )

Kev is a brilliant host who can't do enough for his customers (who soon become friends) & his list of cocktails is very impressive, & they taste very good too with the real ingredients. If there's anything you want that he hasn't got he will nip out for it & nothing is too much trouble.

Definitely a place you must try once & you'll be back. I know we will when we're back in Argassi next May, it'll keep the taxis busy

PS We couldn't imagine walking or driving past without calling in

Steve G          10/10

We came in here most nights and met with old friends and made new ones. The drinks as always were all the real deal and very generous in their proportions. Thanks again for making us so welcome and looking after us and especially for letting Daniel use the plug for his DVD. We can't wait to get back next year and hope the weather will be kinder in May.I have posted lots of pics on the Facebook site as below.

 
Thanks Again
 
Steve,Joanne and Daniel

Lesley S          10/10

Another great holiday in Zakynthos, and several great evenings in Oceanic. The cocktails are fab, never had a better "Orgasm", thanks Kev  

As usual, Andrews G+T's hit the spot, so much so that the post drinking snores could probably be heard at the airport, over the sound of the jet engines  
A lovely place to chill, pre or post dinner, we will be back 3 times next year for more relaxation on one of those sofas. Have a good winter Kev

Kevlar           10/10

With thanks to all my repeat offenders, sorry customers and the loads of new ones this season has kicked ass and still with a month to go. Never had a customer come in who didn't come back again, never had a complaint to myself and if someone did have one they should have told me as i'm more than happy to listen as that way the problem can be corrected. only had about 3 quiet weeks throughout the first 5 months all the rest have near enough been packed out. why am i telling you this? Because if it wasn't for you my customers my bar wouldn't be what it is, i can only serve the drinks but you keep the bar going so a big thank you to you all, your all great.

 
YAMMAS!

Brian L          10/10

Hi Kev home again wishing we were still in kalamaki will be back in july 2009cant come soon enough.  For any one who has not been in this bar give it a go good host in kev and all his customers seem to get on well together even if they have never met before. Great place wife thought cocktails where best in resort see you mate

We loved your wee bar as it ticked all our boxesgood atmosphere lovely cocktailsfairly good choice of music[jokin]and no rip off prices.[had to add that bit in seeing as we are scots, may as well live up to our reputation!]
We have only been home two days and it seems like yonks ago we were enjoying the craic with everyone in your bar
So all holidaymakers heading for Kalamaki, give this wee bar a try, you wont be disappointed, Kevin makes you very welcome and has lots of info about the island etc.
Keep up the good work Kevin, cheers, Alan & Pat

Hi Kev!

Loved the comment from "Norma" about us OAPs who drink in your bar .  Its was always a pleasure to rest our ancient arthritic joints on your comfy sofas, especially for our daughter Laura who's knocking on a bit now she's nearly 13!
 
Loved the welcome, the atmosphere and the mojitos.
 
See you next year, all being well!
 
 

Brian L          10/10

Hi Kev
One of your old age pension customers here just keep the chill out bar as it is . Had another great holiday in kalamaki and used your bar every day .We unlike some people who comment on bars without trying them never comment unless we have tried a place .I have been going to kalamaki for approx ten years long befour oceanic was in the resort Ihave used most bars and find oceanic is exactly what it says it is a chill out bar If i wanted bingo or pig racing i would go elsewhere .SEEYOU IN SEPTEMBER.  Keep me some vodka worms the kids coudnt handle them  STillsome years to my pension

Ian S          10/10

Flipping Heck Kev,

Im an OAP. Does that mean I can start drawing my pension 26 years early.  Right then, I'm moving to Kalamaki next week.

But seriously mate, if I was a CHAV I wouldn't want to go in to your bar either. No karaoke or pub quizzes. Maybe they'd feel more comfortable in Laganas.

I look forward to next year when my family and I (including our 4 year old daughter) can sit back and chill in your bar.


See everyone next year


Ian Nicola and Hermione

Carol P          10/10

lol bar for OAP'Sthat's  a new claim to fame Kev  Well I don't recall any old people in there (except Lesley of course ) and even if that was the case everyone seemed to be very happy and as long as the customers are happy so are you is my guess 

Lesley S          10/10

OMG, how RUDE

I can assure you that neither my husband or myself are OAP's, and even if we were I would find your comment offensive  (BTW how old are you ? )
Maybe you didn't pop in cos there wasn't room, that's usually the case at the most popular bar in Kalamaki
Look forward to more nights in Oceanic in September, but then again, us OAP's have the time to holiday more than once a year  

Kevlar           10/10

Glad to see you had a great time in oceanic folks and still going strong.

I find it strange the comment below posted only abouit places you've visited then decided to add one comment about my bar which you didn't, wasn't there anywhere else you didn't visit and wanted to be negative about but thats up to you and respect your opinion.
 
I'm quite happy for my bar to have as you put it OAP's in, at least i'm full and i think the younger couples who drink there will be offended by your comment, pop in for a glass of sterident when your next in kalamaki haha.

Lesley S          10/10

Another few evenings spent here, a lovely place for pre or post dinner drinkies, thanks Kev. Not just sprinting from the bar now though eh Kev? Disapppearing on his bike now a speciallity of the night  Will see you in September, may your success continue, oh and your "meals on wheels" deliveries

Lydia B          10/10

Hiya.......its us again!! We love this bar - its beginning to feel like our second home. New, softer sofas this time which makes it even more difficult to leave - it's so chilled out and a perfect way to wind down at the end of the day...... Still the best, strongest cocktails in Kalamaki, proper stuff used.  Great to see you again Kev and glad to see your bar is still going well - not surprising really with the great atmosphere, music and of course host (sprinter of the year award, lol), plus, we always meet nice people in here and have a giggle.

Message from Lydia...........have you got the pink lights set up yet? lol . She's got the sparkly things you gave her in a pot in her room - (very her !!)   Well, we can't wait to come back, definitely be there for your birthday, probably before........you know how we just 'turn up' .  Thanks again for everything Kev, hope it all keeps going well, see u soon.........Marie & Lydia x x

Just back from Kalamaki Kev doing a grand job, unfortunately I could'nt enjoy his hospitality every night.

Due to upset stomach but when i did get in, a warm welcome.
Really appreciated a nice quiet bar, How do you define quiet when his bar was full every night.
Well no loud music and you didn't have to shout to make yourself heard.
Excellent and good luck for the rest of the season.

Jon E

I had better sell some cars before I  get out to zante based on kevs prices!! Only joking !!

Great bar Chilled atmosphere and just what you need on your holidays!! and cheap!!
 
Cheers Kev see you again on the 19th August !!

Les           10/10

Went in Oceanic last week & was so impressed we travelled over from Argassi 3 times to see Kev. The service is brilliant & the atmosphere very nice, no tv or loud music etc just a nice relaxing place with what must be the most comfortable seats in any bar on the island. Very good & definitely worth a try, you'll want to go back. We will when we go back later in the year  

Paul K          10/10

FAB, spent many a good evening at Oceanic. Lovely and chilled out, decent music and a fantastic host Kev really deserves to do well with his bar, nothing is too much trouble, and watching him run to the supermarket for tonic/sambuca is a joy to behold   Look forward to a few good nights in June, get that gin/vodka/tonic lined up  

 

Marie B          10/10

Hi Kev..........Back home again now  and we could do with those patio heaters of yours - its a bit chilly here!  Thanks again for last week - see you were as busy as ever - lovely to end some of our evenings off in your great 'chill out' bar again which is always full of nice people!   The girls are back at college now  really missing Zakynthos - (quote them ............'Kev's awesome ! ' )    

Thanks again and have a well earned break!  Take care biking round the island and see you next year for more of your lovely Oceanic cocktails and good company..................Marie, John, Lydia & Jamie-Lee xclick to enlarge
