Your traditional British pub never looked better. Penny Black Bar is a warm, buzzing bar, located within AX The Victoria Hotel in Sliema. This bar serves up delicious pub food, as well as some traditional Maltese dishes.

Located underneath Sliema’s seaside promenade, the Exiles Beach Club is a great place to enjoy good food and drinks by the sea. During the summer, the casual beach club is packed with people and live music at the bar. Upstairs, you’ll also find a more chic dining area.

Located on the bustling street known as The Strand, which connects the towns of Sliema and Gzira, Black Gold Saloon is a lively bar with a casual atmosphere. There’s lots of seating and space available both indoors and outside, making it a good spot for live music and watching football.

A local favourite, the Plough & Anchor has been around since 1978. The original owner, Gaetano, decorated the interiors with items bought from shipyards and jugs from his own collection, and offers a great variety of his favourite drink – whiskey.

Described by those who stumble upon it as a hidden treasure, Simon’s Pub is bursting with character and great music. Come here for the beer, stay for the good times!
