Nicosia, Cyprus. A diner and companion visited B.R. Hub for pub food ahead of Lent, finding an extensive menu alongside attentive service and a comfortable setting.
Familiar pub staples and efficient execution
The visit noted that bars and pubs often rely on established food options such as burgers, buffalo wings, onion rings, sandwiches and wraps, which customers can easily choose and kitchens can prepare quickly and consistently.
Setting and service at B.R. Hub
B.R. Hub in Nicosia was recommended for its menu, staff attentiveness, décor, comfort and music selection. Inside, a large draught beer tower sits behind the bar, while sports memorabilia and rock icons decorate the walls. Large TV screens played David Bowie.
Outdoor seating and drinks
The diners chose to sit outside due to mild evening weather and noted the bar stools were exceptionally comfortable. A waiter directed them to access the menu via a QR code on a table-number puck. They ordered a pint of Kronenbourg Blanc and a pint of Staropramen.
Sports-themed names and broad menu range
The menu featured sports-themed dish names, with starters referencing basketball, including “buzzer beater prawns” and “slam dunk wings,” and mains leaning toward boxing, such as “counter punch chicken” and “uppercut baby ribs.” Other items included the “goalkeeper chicken wrap” and the “free kick bacon cheeseburger.” The menu was described as unusually large for a bar, offering bao buns, salads, pasta, pizza, burgers and sandwiches, with some dishes presented in a style comparable to a conventional restaurant.
