Agios Nikolaos used to be famous for its bar culture, when thousands of holidaymakers would flock over every year for a good party. Today, it still maintains a few 'touristy' bars serving up the traditional mix of 80s disco music, and a couple of British-style pubs and sports bars. The more modern and relaxed cafe-bars on the south side of the harbour tend to attract more customers, and are popular with locals as well as tourists, which makes them feel more authentic.
