Way back in 2005, when Ammos first opened its doors, the now famous ‘Makenzy Strip’ was a neglected place. Nothing was here apart from a few decrepit tavernas, which had no pulling power with the cool crowds. People thought we were crazy – which we probably are – and nobody believed that Ammos would live through its first year.

Against all odds, by 2008 Ammos was very much alive and even thriving. With our pure white, minimal design and our quality culinary offering, Ammos was slowly becoming the talk of the town. The restaurant had earned a good reputation and the demand for our bar and lounge area was growing exponentially.

By 2010, Ammos expanded its horizons and became known as a music and event-oriented venue, for hip locals searching for something different and unique. By now, Ammos had already brought a huge influx of people to Makenzy Beach, and competition was fierce, as other venues on the strip started attempting to replicate the Ammos Formula.

Fast forward to 2015, and Ammos had fully transformed from underdog, to becoming one of Cyprus’s best loved household names. With countless awards under our belt, there was now no question that Ammos was the undisputed champion of Cypriot nightlife, as well as the driving force behind the transformation of the ‘Makenzy Strip’.

Now, as we move into the 2020s, it was time for another shakeup. Despite our reputation as a point of reference in the city, change was due and has made us even better. Firstly, we are reaffirming our position as a foodie haven, with an enhanced culinary offering, upgraded menus and open kitchens.

Next up, a full design makeover, replacing our iconic minimal aesthetic with a warmer, welcoming and more family friendly feel – still with same slick sense of style and attention to detail that we have become famous for. And party people do not worry, we’ll still be throwing our epic parties and events, with all the passion and enthusiasm that first put us on the nightlife map.
