ok for a snack nothing specail
forgot to say the member of our party had a chocolate allergy.
it was ok but very expensive compared to others, what put us off is one of our party ordered banana split and when it came it was covered in chocolate sauce, we told waitress and she said give us a minute then wondered off. after a while we asked and the owner was very agrumentative just over a banana and a bit of ice cream. would not go again.
Still as good as ever. Try the Daily specials. Great location and Claire is as wonderfully abusive as ever
I THINK THIS PLACE WAS EXCELLENT AND IT WAS RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE HOTEL I STAYED AT .
We lovede it!You made us fantastic lamb for lunch!
Not the same without Lynn. Only went once this holiday and the prices are very expensive.

Anthony and all the staff at the driftwood know how to make sure everyone has a good time! Happy hour, what can i say. The cocktails are lethal but great fun. You Can't be miserable around the likes of Lupper, Claire and all the other lunatics that work there. Try the whole baby squid stuffed with seafood risotto for a truly wonderful taste sensation. Can't wait till next year to see all the guys again xxx.
Hi Anthony, Can you send your website address for properies to buy.
will be out around the 7th october get the bribes ready
from the tax man.
PS How's Eddie
We went to Driftwood every morning/afternoon and had a full english with a proper english tasting coffee. Definetley sorts you out after all those heavy nights! Failing that the tiolets are very nice too!
Shall be back next year without a doubt
we went to lagana in may 2003 and atayed at the president hotel. we spent many a day at driftwood bar
english breakfaast pizza ????????????????? tell us more & how far from Hotlips
WE have left the Driftwood after the best two weeks ever. The host, Adonis Marinos, is a character by his own rights. After spending time with his english mum and greek father in Ethiopia and many other places in Africa. He settled in Zakynthos, his fathers home.
After spending time in Leeds, my home town, to complete his studies in cuisine, he returned to Zakynthos. Where upon he opened the first beach bar. The Driftwood.
Its name was inspired by a little hotel when Antony was younger, outside Malindi called The Driftwood hotel, Hence The Driftood opened 22 years ago, It's success speaks for itself
The staff who work at the Driftwood are the same year after year.
Clare, the most experienced with 5 years under her belt is funny, bubbly smiley, and bloody funny. She can drink with the best of them and her banter will match the best of them. She deserves a top tip every time.
Annoula is top dog in the kitchen. You can tell her moods by her cooking and alters taste to match yours, Ive never had any sour food unless it was with a sweet sauce.
Guy, her mate in the kitchen is a nice guy, no pun intended, and is equally experienced in the kitchen, although he's vegitarian, he knows how to cook a steak.
Lyn, what can I say about Lyn? A little Geordie lass, been on the island for quite some years. An ex-pat (or pet?) brit, she lives in Zante town with her greek chap. She cycles to work every day and has a smile on her face all the time, I think it's the bike and the bummpy roads. Lyn wates the tables and makes time to chat with everyone, she loves kids.
Garry, he also wates tables, Lyn's protege I think. He tends to be a bit dizzy because he's still learning the job or ogling the luvly fillies who frequent the beach shower 5 yards away.
Meto, the youngest member of staff at just 21 he looks about 12.
He's a fresh young face and certainly attracts the ladies, old ones who want to mother him.
Lastly there's George, a greek with teeth like a grave yard, a temprament that changes from day to day, he only scowled once and it poured buckets for a full 30 mins. He's the cleaner, sweeper and general duties man who does all the back house work.
Vanessa is a part timer who started just recently, is competator with Clare in the banter stakes, and gives as good as she gets, and I rekon can throw a good right ander if insulted, so be careful.
Happy hour 6 - 7 I know now as we have just returned from 2 weeks in Laganas.
Lynn, Claire and Gary are MAD.
What time does the happy hour start at the driftwood on the beach
The pizzas are great. My husband would recommend the English breakfast one, though it was so big he struggled to finish it
Driftwood make a fresh fruit salad and a banana split which are both out of this world - but check your bill!!!!
we missed the live band which we enjoyed the last summers!!! where are they gone!? i hope we will see and hear them next year again!!
Had many a lunch at the Driftwood. We liked the food and the service. Nice location on the beach
Without doubt a Swifty at the Drifty is something that everyone should do. Good staff, excellent service and when on holiday, like a home from home. Anthony is good host and makes everyone feel welcome, and Claire ensures that the Amstells stay full.
Better than ever. Still the best beach snack bar. The main waitress Clare has been ther for years and is still as wonderfully abusive as ever. They have a new chef who is excellent (try the daily specials - with a Mythos of course!!!)
Next door to the Astir hotel. Great service, great food and very generous glasses of red. Enjoy.
Still haven't soberred up from that 'Perfect Orgasm' cocktail I had there 2 weeks ago. And am craving another glass of frappé. Yum is all i can say. Music was good too-think singer's name was 'Sideshow Bob' (like on The Simpsons)
The Driftwood Bar is Great!! We grabbed our sunbeds right outside it almost every day as we absolutely LOVED the frappe's and cocktails (though VERY strong!!) The band that played there were excellent and the music was good too-extremely relaxing to sit on the beach listening to brilliant music and drinking ice-cold cocktails!!!!!!
2nd year running to Kalamaki and every evening at happy hour we would scooter on down to the Driftwood! The cocktails are fantastic! Try their slush puppies with a choice of spirit in it too. The band that plays there is great too! Friendly staff
Best Beach snackbar in Lagana. Good food (try the club sandwich or the garlic mushrooms) Fast friendly service.
We didn't actually eat here but we had a few drinks. They were reasonably priced and extremely strong. (Don't go swimming after you've had a couple in here!!) The staff were friendly, especially the waitress who was English and always pleasant.
