Hole in the Wall

2020 Visit. Walked past it in the morning whilst going to the supermarket, no one there. Advertising coffee. Returned in the evening on a Friday, totally packed with backpacker & students type of atmosphere and crowd. No taps. They had a better than feared beer list, mostly the same imports you can get elsewhere in Sliema / Valetta. Got a beer. It was too hot, too busy, I went outside, you are not allowed to drink outside & it is enforced. Back inside, they had two house beers, I had gotten the lager, amazingly brewed in Poland & unquestionably one of the worst tasting beers I have ever had in my life. One has to question a bar that sells a beer this bad period let alone as a house beer, heaviest diacetyl I have ever tasted & I have been & drank proper amount of beer in the Czech Republic was not even the biggest problem with it. Can be maybe fun if student or backpacker but stay the hell away from their house lager, better to get pissed at the harbour I suppose.

Would be a perfect place if they had some taps - now there are only a few Belgian beers, cisk and Erdinger in bottle; I ordered a beer - ok it was only a cisk lager, but anyway, I received the bottle without a damned glass!

I had hoped for a little better tbh. It really is a hole in the wall. There are no tap beers, just cans. A decent whisky selection though. The staff were not really very talkative. It’s the kind of place you visit just the once. It had an expat and student focus and you might expect a better atmosphere, but sadly not. Not really sure why this place is on Ratebeer at all.

No draught beer, so mostly canned lagers such as Cisk Lager, Hopleaf and dutch beers. But nice, service minded owner and reasonably nice atmosphere. Visited: 2014-04-18

Not much of a beer selection, but a pleasant and relaxed place for a beer. Very quiet on a Saturday evening in September. Outdoor seating.

Very much a local pub,tucked in behind the main tourist drag,o.ly cans or bottles,and the usual cisk,or hopleaf,good swpirit selection,and good stories about the old days,worth a look
