Why Not? is a relaxed, budget-friendly sports bar in the heart of Paphos where catching the game is effortless. Screens line the walls, so wherever you sit you get a clear view of the football, and fans praise the buzzing yet easygoing atmosphere on big match days.

The draught beer selection is a highlight, well-kept and reasonably priced, with guests noting a pint of Keo for around €3.90. Beyond the drinks, the kitchen turns out crowd-pleasing food from morning breakfasts to hearty evening plates, with the Moussaka a standout among regulars. Staff earn consistent praise for being friendly, patient and genuinely helpful, happy to answer tourist questions and point visitors in the right direction.

A charming quirk sets the place apart, too: resident cats give the bar a warm, laid-back character you rarely find in a typical sports venue. Open daily from 09:00 until 01:00, Why Not? is an easy recommendation for anyone wanting good drinks, sport and a welcoming vibe in Paphos.
