Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The guys working here a super kind and the cocktails very tasty. Additionally the place is really cool and if your looking for a good bar to hang out with good drinks and music this is the place to be. In comparison to other locations...in Malia you really get good drinks within a classy atmosphere. Cheers to the guys working here - was a pleasure to be your guests.More

Very rarely do you find staff so polite and accommodating as you do here. Not only that but the cocktails are awesome and reasonably priced as well. Lovely set up, quality fittings and seating areas and some really good music in the background.

After visiting Zoo for many years for the great staff, drinks and sound system it was massively disappointing this summer to experience new bar staff and front of house who not only served a bad drink but then refused to replace it and sent a...poor waitress to tell us. Not to treat the customer as king will stop repeat business in this chilled, relaxing bar at the bottom of the strip.(sound system still sounds great)More

Really nice cocktails, even put popcorn and fruit on the table to snack on. The sisha was nice and the staff were nicer! There was also a really nice cute dog that I've forgotten the name of but he was so approachable and calm and...would sit an have a photo with you if you wanted. He is definitely a dog that is loved.More

This place was ok, probably got better service as we picked a quiet time of the year to go. The VIP booths are pretty good and have a TV in them showing sport. Drinks are a bit pricey but thats what you expect from a...nightclub and bar like this. Pint wise it was around 4 euros.More

Reviewed 26 October 2017

We first went in here because I really wanted to try it, so we only had 1 drink that night. The next time we wanted to have shisha so we sat in one of the 'VIP' seated coves (no extra cost! Just slightly better service...and a tv in front of you.) The waitress we had was fantastic, I'm annoyed that I can't remember her name, but she was lovely, recommended flavours for us to try, what would go best, gave us an ice pipe for our second, and kept us topped up with drinks all night! Will definitely go back.More

The ladies who work there are very knowledgeable about cocktails and shisha pipes couldn't recommend this place anymore proper drinks...no dodgy cheap alcohol (but u do pay a bit more for it) quality atmosphere amazing music and vip booths love this place and will return on our next visit!More

Spent time every day and night in Zoo bar. Classy looking bar with nice chilled atmosphere day and night and also open quite late (one night we was in until 4am). One of the few bars we found playing decent house music as oppesd to...the R&B most other bars played. Staff were nice, especially Stelios who speaks the best English ever, and drinks were good and reasonably priced.More
