Why Nio Fusion Is the First Stop of the LIABP Bar Crawl

October 9, 2025

Every night, hundreds of travellers meet at the exact same place before the LIABP Bar Crawl begins: Nio Fusion.
It’s the official starting point, the social hub, and the venue that sets the energy for the entire night.

If you’ve ever wondered why the bar crawl always begins there, here’s the full breakdown.

Reason 1: It Has the Best Pre-Party Vibes in Ios

Nio Fusion transitions perfectly into nightlife.
Before 11pm the venue becomes:

  • Loud

  • Busy

  • Social

  • High-energy

  • Full of travellers mixing

You walk in and immediately feel like something big is about to happen.

Reason 2: Happy Hour 9–11pm

The LIABP Bar Crawl starts just as Nio Fusion’s 9–11pm Happy Hour ends — meaning everyone is warmed up and buzzing.

Cheap drinks + loud music + crowds = the perfect kickoff.

Reason 3: Ideal Location in Chora

Nio Fusion sits right in the centre of Ios nightlife.
Every venue on the bar crawl route is walkable from here.
