This place is good, but they need to change the music - they play the same cd every night!! Has been the same music for the past 3 years!!  Apart from that very good!

Jon C          9/10

Went to Laganas July 06' with a bunch of guys and Cocktails and Dreams was definately one of our favourite bars, went there every nite. Great drinks, great music, and met lots of women . Sum classic moments were had, mind you, after a fair few cocktails those stairs can be a bit of a problem to get down safely!! click to enlarge

Laura B           

Went to Cocktails & Dreams in summer. Had the best time time there. It woz way fun. Dancing on the bar it's MAD!!!!!! Probably one of the best clubs in Laganas. Can't wait to come back next year for some more dancing and drinking!!

Nicky O           

We hit Cocktails and Dreams almost every night. Made friends with the bar staff and the bouncers. Even though we did see them hitting a guy once we thought it was a 1 off...nope we were wrong. They turned on a friend of r's and smacked his head off the bar. I had a right go at my friend the bouncer and he apologised for the misunderstanding. That wasn't enough tho so we didn't return for a few days. The music and everything is great tho and as long as ur a group of girls or a group of non-violent or rowdy lads u'll b fine.

Natalie M           

This was our favourite pub in Laganas we loved it, we did hear that people were beat up by bar staff quite badly but we never seen anything like that going on.  The music , the talent, the wee dance floor at the back we loved it all , went there nearly every night it was sooooooooo good.  Were defo going back to Zante and will defo be back to Cocktails and Dreams 

Natasha C           

This summer me and 10 of my friends went to zante and had a fantastic time, 2 weeks of bliss, but only went to cocktails and dreams once, which was our first night. The second night, we were just heading towards the stairs to enter the club when a group of english boys came tumbling down head first, one of which had broken his arm so badly the bone was poking through his skin, 2 minutes later a group of large greek bouncers came running down after them with metal trojans and started beating the crowd, even innocent by standers.

After 3 of us being hit with a solid stick, i dare say we never considered going back there again!! BOO cocktails and dreams!!!!!!!!

Steph            

All us nine gordie girls propa loved cocktails and dreams we went there every nite.We loved cocktails the best out ov all the barS on the strip.am propa gutted to be home in freezin cold newcastle but a put my CD on from cocktail and it just bring click to enlargeback the memories ov how we loved it so much......propa miss it ..COCKERS N SLEEPS ALL THE WAY HAHAHA XXXX

Kt            

Just got bak this morning. Of course we went 2 cocktail and dreams every nite and was nice that the barmen remembered us again!!! Did not see any trouble at all and it was packed every single nite.

Jordan D           

stop wasting the straws bar man. youre only going to have a problem with the doormen if u give them a reason been out there twice now and never seen any trouble

Sarah C           

Hi once again to the very lovely SPIRO ROBERTO!! & Roberto number 2!

Has to be the best bar in Laganas.
 
Also you have to be joking about taking on a Greek doorman, if you do, you will find a million of them will appear from nowhere and you have had it!! You have been warned!!!!!

James S           

this was a top bar with top tunes drinks in here are a bit pricey but what do you expect for one of the best clubs on the strip. all of the doormen in laganas carry like inch maglites (torches) which makes me think that they are all s**t houses, it will come to blows one day cause they all think there solid and the british wont take, i mean come on how many brits are there out there compared to maglite men !!!!!!!!

Jo C

Never saw any trouble in this bar!! The PR did say people that got thrown out deserved to be though! This is by far the best bar and i cant believe everyone remembered me from 5 yrs ago!!

Cogman's Law all the way!

Malcolm C           

Just came back from 2 weeks in Laganas, 13 of us went all lads and what a holiday. This was the best club on the strip and i would recomend Cocktails and Dreams to anyone!!! Any one who met the CARLISLE LADS then you add your comments letting us know and i'll check in a few days. Francis, Sarah, Natalie, Claire, Rachel and Jo from scotland we all say 'HELLO PALS'

From The Carlisle Lads on tour 06

Jill W           

Cocktails and Dreams is a great place to go in Laganas. The music is awsome, they dont play each song to the full they move on fast and there is something for everyone. You can dance on the bar and on the tables and it is always packed. Definatly recommend it to anyone taking a trip out to Zante

Kt            

Just to let people know that i've never seen any trouble in Cocktails and Dreams and we come here every year. The barmen always have a laugh with us and are very friendly. If there has been alot of trouble this year i can only think they have replaced the workers with idiots!!!

Laura            

me and my mates were in zante for a week in july and have to say this was the best bar by far, always liked to have a few bevvies and a boogie in c&d before drinking the rest of the night away!!!  would defo recommend this place to anyone, my mates also loved it and we will defo be making another appearance.x

Ryan            

Cocktails and dreams started off as a good place to go, with only the occasional bouncer or bar man having a go at you for doing something wrong e.g. standing on a table, dancing where you shouldn't or be or swearing at a bar man. I went there a few times and saw little fights break out over silly little things, but it was just the bouncers and their big ego's wanting to beat up holiday makers for no reason.

The biggest fight that i saw was one that i was personally involved in aswell as 8 others. It started when a bar man asked a friend of mine to get off the bar by pinching her on the back of the leg, so she quickly stuck her fingers up at him which turned out to be a bad idea. The bar man who happened to be about 6'2ft and huge came around the bar and threw her to the floor, and starting laying into her. Me and a few lads jumped in but there was no chance of us stopping it, around 10 bouncers all massive started kicking and punching all of us, some worse than others. 1 by 1 we was thrown down the 30 steel steps, 1 of the girls who was with us also got thrown down the steps, as she landed at the bottom the bouncer made the effort to run all the way to the bottom and kick her in the face, totally knocking her out and giving her a really bad black eye. A police officer who i was with was also knocked out using a batton and just left there lying unconscious, the bouncers do not care if your a man or woman they will still beat you up and throw you down those steel steps. Also the police wont help abit, 1 police officer turned up and then just left leaving all my friends lying there beating and battered. The ambulance service and hostpital are also crap, they were ages getting to us and when we arrived at the hospital they did nothing but have a go because we had been drinking, so we paid for our taxi's home and dealt with out injuries.
 
So for anyone intending on going to laganas in zante, watch out for cocktails and dreams, it is a good place to go but if you step out of line in any way then you are going to get seriously hurt. While i was over there i heard many stories about that place, and all happened to be very serious.

Helen B           

first nyt went in was good! but WARNING!!! if u r a lad don't go in cos if ya take ya top off, dance on the bar or anything  like tha wa girls get away wit. tha bouncer will chuck ya out batting ya wit trungens and they wil hit anyone else in the way n also they push downstairs as this is the entrance to the club. we saw 2 big massive fights here one lad got a black eye n bloody nose, the otha a broken arm.

Julie            

BEEN TO ZANTE 6 TIMES. COCKTAILS AND DREAMS IS BRILLANT WENT THERE EVERY NIGHT IN JUNE ITS THE PLACE TO BE. THE BAR STAFF ARE FRIENDLY AND ALWAYS UP FOR A LAUGH.

Rebecca C           

Loved it! The cocktails are a bit mingin so I stuck to the Smirnoff Ice, Loved the music but where the F*@k is the DJ, (I'm sure there was just one CD on repeat and the same music was on night in night out) But I really did love it. Let's face it by the time we had got to C&D we were hammered from the Pink Panther's 60 Euro fishbowls so they could have probably played the waltz and we would have had a good time! Not bein funny but that bouncer is a dick, I dropped 20 euros on the floor and he pushed my leg out of the way to get to it quicker than I could. What a knob! He thinks he's the dogs bollocks! Oh and the first night a lesbo tried to hump me, sorry but I'm straight!

You'll have a good time in there tho!

Emma M           

me and my mate are going out to zante in october and would like to know what the nightlife is like at this time of year is it still lively. if anyone knows would they please let me know emmamartland@hotmail.co.uk.

DEAR ALEXANDRA,

THIS IS BABIS THE OWNER OF COCKTAILS N DREAMS. I SAW THE TEXT THAT YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS WROTE AND I WOULD LIKE TO WARN ALL THE PEOPLE FOR THE TRUTH.
1) IT IS INTERESTING WHY AN EXPERIENCED BOUNCER SHOULD ACT TO LITTLE GIRLS WITH THIS WAY AND NOT TO BIG GUYS. DON'T YOU THINK;
2) AT 5:30 THE SAME NIGHT YOU AND YOUR CREW BROKE THE TWO FRONT GLASS DOORS OF COCTAILS N DREAMS BY THROWING BAR SEATS AND BOTTLES. (WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GOOD MANNERS)
3) THE NEXT MORNING I PERSONALLY MET YOU AND YOU WERE BEGGING FOR FORGIVENESS. NO MONEY ASKED FOR THE DAMAGES (2000 EUROS BY THE WAY) AND THE STORY WAS FINISHED WITH YOU BEEN VERY HAPPY.
4) AT LAST FOR YOUR INFORMATION AND NOT ONLY COCKTAILS N DREAMS NEVER HAD, HAVE AND FOR SURE WILL NEVER HAVE PUBCROWLS BECAUSE THE BEST DOESNT NEED PROMOTION
FRIENDLY REGARDS
BABIS
   OWNER OF COCKTAILS N DREAMS

Linda G           

Loved cocktails n dreams!!  one of the best bars on the strip and the music was fab too!!  just 1 thing they tho, they played the same tunes in the same order every single night!!!  which was a bit annoying coz you always knew what was coming on next!!  apart from that had a great time in the place!!

Samantha H           

I went in here once on my first nght and to be honest it wasn't as great as i had heard.  i didn't see any trouble personaly but i have heard from friends that they saw a guy kicked out for what ever reason and when he threw a glass at the cocktails and dreams sign he was chased by all the bouncers from c&d, rescue and zeros and was beaten over the head excessivly. after being told this among other staries i decided not to go again and it doesn't sound like i missed out on too much.   mind you i have spoken to peple who loved this bar, so if you go just watch out.

Helz P           

I WAS A BIT SHOCKED ABOUT SUM ON THE COMMENTS READ ABOUT COCKTAILS N DREAMS I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING! LOVED IT!

AND ALSO A BIG HI TO ROSS!  SPANK A MANC! THE ONLY FIT MANC ALIVE! LOL
HELZ N CHELLE XXXX

Laura S           

THE BOUNCERS HERE ARE PSYCHOS.......LITERALLY!

on our first night in Zante, we were about to go in, and then a bloke ran down the stairs past us, with 5 greek bouncers chasing him with bat things. when one of them caught him, they didnt just hit him to get him down, but actually BEAT HIM UP! the bloke then tried to get up and run away (completely covered in blood), and they chased him AGAIN!! then a couple of nights later, we were standing outside across the road from it, and a bloke dropped a glass...the greek bouncers actually chased him all the way down the strip with their bats, all five of them returned about 10 minutes later...im glad i didnt have to see what they did to him. everyone was really shaken up by it.

Sannie J           

Is there someone who knows were i can get the GREAT music that was playing all this summer on Coctails & Dreams...i just wanna have it..so i can shake ma hips...and remember every night we spent in Laganas..

 
pleeeeeeeaaase....
