I believe this is more of a restaurant or eating house than a pub and the earliest I have seen it mentioned to date is 1994, although the same source says it didn't open till 1995.

Advertised in 2010 as a fusion between an English bar culture with a continental lifestyle. This establishment offers 4 2-bedroom apartments as well as catering for a selection of food from their menu.

Bar Vasa mirror

While on holiday in Cyprus, the owners Arist and Maria bought a mirror, saying if they ever opened a bar the mirror would feature in it.

The original Pre-Club bar opened in 1996 with what they termed a Mediterranean Vibe.

Mediterranean food was introduced in 1999 and a Contemporary Cuisine & Continental Lifestyle in 2003.

Further information kindly supplied by Jan Pedersen informs that the premises was once called "Miles Haven" and later "The Beachcomber" or "Beachcombers."

If anyone should have further information or photographs regarding any of the names above, I would be very interested in hearing form you.
