Latest reviews from Sliema

“Small British pub environment that has a few bottles of Belgian Trappists. Not for ticking but good for a Belgian night with a few folks. No beer list - have to scan the fridges behind the bar. Can’t really say it’s worth the walk just for myself.“

“On the waterfront tourist track. As expected, focus on The Brew beers which are not too exciting, but a much better place than the neighbouring Black Sheep and good food. Flights of 4 to 7 with big pours. Worth a visit.“

“Tourist restaurant which just happens to have some local beers. Can’t even recommend it for food as half the food menu was not available when I visited.“

“Visited Friday evening. Very much UK in exile atmosphere of sorts. Another UK styled pub in Sliema. Experience was a bit too much more UK tourists & expats revelling in a British empire fantasy in Malta. Dunno, had bit too much of that, that day. I suppose I best won’t say too much without becoming to xenophobic. Tap selection was rubbish, 4 wine taps from one winery, irrelevant here, Cisk, 2 Farsons, Guinness & Strongbow, just plain bad & things you can get anywhere in Sliema. Totally irrelevant at best in Brewver context. Standard pricing, large selection of spirits but that is not uncommon here.“

“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.“

“2020 Visit. Not a place I connected with. Similar to a lot of other waterfront places in Sliema. Large, modern, deep & some UK feel to it. Tourists, expats etc. Some kind of weird UK tourism in abroad feel to it. Service varied greatly depending on whether or not you were a women aged between 18 and 35. Big food menu of sorts of everything. Cocktails & spirits. 4 taps all Lord Chambray, one of them is brewed for this place so interesting tick. Bottle list was quite big with familiar import breweries in Malta from UK, Germany, Belgium, Italy etc. Just not my atmosphere or place really. I suppose more apt as part of a seashore pub-crawl of sorts than a beer geek place despite the for region big bottle list & tap tick.“

“Another large place along the water. Lots of people, brewing equipment visible, vaguely UK feel, cocktails, spirits, tourist, expats etc. Comparable to other establishments along the bay in Sliema. Food is sort of everything, hamburgers, pasta, quesadilla etc. Not really my thing or atmosphere. Hey they make their own beer, 6 taps of which, my first choice was out. I got what going by reviews is their best beer, it was doable & not a good sign if their best beers. Prices in line elsewhere but bit steep given how they make the beer themselves. Not my thing and quite uninteresting.“

“It is a very simple small shop in a sidestreet. Curious opening hours. Its selection is very good in English craft beer, there are nice amount of american and polish craft beers also. There are some asian portfolio too. Prices are correct.“

“The Brew is in a great spot in Sliema, but the beers are quite average (the Valletta is the only one worth your while) and prices are rather high. I guess it's worth a visit if you are close by and got nothing better to do.“

“This brewpub sits along the Strand facing Valletta across the bay. The outdoor seating was taken so we sat inside. The copper tanks are on display just beyond the bar. They offered 6 house beers on draught alongside various mixed drinks. I enjoyed a Maltese sampler appetizer which turned out to be too much for one person, though it was quite good and featured local cheese and sausage. The crowd was mostly younger rowdy types drinking cocktails. The beer was below average, at least for the 2 I tried.“

“Very handy as next door to The Brew ! 4 taps of Lord Chambray on with other bottles from them and numerous other craft bottles including an impy stout. You can get gassed somewhat easily in these two places !“

“Small fronted brewpub on the harbour front and well worth a visit in this island of mass production lager. 5 beers on and got shown round the brewery. Good selection of beer styles.“

“Visited 12/7/2018. Funky place on the strand, next door to The Brew. Black Sheep beers festure prominently but the tie up is only because of the name. As well as Yorkshire beers (Black Sheep and Magic Rock), German, Italian, Belgian, Danish and Maltese (Lord Chambray) beers all feature in a decent bottle list. Lively atmosphere, smart interior. Decent food, good service. It's not the 100 that the previous reviewer reckoned, but it's certainly worthy of a visit.“

“Visited 9/7/2018. Nice to find a brewpub in Malta but like many brewpubs across the globe the beer quality was a little hit and miss. 6 were available on this visit - flights (or more correctly a sample selection arranged on their place mats) are available at €1 per beer. The dark was the best along with the unrateable Valletta 2018 which seemed much better than it's supposed aliased Pilsner (maybe just a difference in batch as the pils was a bit too buttery). Has a nice outside covered pavement seating area and then quite big downstairs and upstairs areas inside. Service was ok. Food was decent. The Valletta 2018 is available bottled. Certainly a place to visit at least once if on the island.“

“The worst brewpub I went to in Malta. I could also say the best as it was the only one, but I'd rather leave it as worst. Some infected beer and bad service. Prices a little high. No flights here. In a lively place that is more interesting than St. Julians debauchery at least.“

“Cool little bottle shop I found accidentally while driving around Malta. I actually was trying to figure out where I was while parking, happened to glance at the shop and saw bottles of Stone sitting on the shelf. I jumped out, went in and found a bunch of Polish beers. Crazy! Probably the best store I saw in Malta. Friendly staff as well.“

“It's a rather small brewpub on the promenade. On weekends and evenings it's very busy here. The interior is rustic but has still that hipster touch. The patio is small but nice. All the barmen and waitresses are polite and try to help, but are not specially trained for beers. All in all, it's a nice place to go with good beer (for Maltese conditions).“

“Double-storeyed busy restaurant/brewpub with patio in the front on quay. Five types of home beers, definitely the best of Malta. Very helpful staff. Recommended place, but better in afternoon.“

“Visited 29 Oct 2017
Quite large restaurant and brewpub on the quay. Five beers on tap this day - Pilsner (Gallery), Honey, Dark, Blond Ale and Amber Ale; the best beers I tasted in Malta. Fine service, prices not so high for Malta.
Good place, definitely worth to visit.“

“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!“

“Located off the promenade in the busy, touristy heart of Sliema, this is possibly the tiniest cafe I have ever seen - not more than two sqm big, three stools inside and as many outside, the only table being the windowsill. Cute, classy Italian coffee and cake and eight very decent beers from Amarcord, a good Italian microbrewery. How the beer got there I have no idea, but it makes the place really special. Very friendly Polish and Italian staff. Reasonable prices. Will be back. Tomorrow, if possible :-)“

“¦wietne miejsce, ale nie na piwo. Z kilku kranach tylko Farsons Blue Label Ale nadaje siê do picia. Pozosta³e wyroby lokalnego producenta to zwyczajne pop³uczyny. Nie u¶wiadczy siê tu niestety wyrobów jedynego kraftowego browaru maltañskiego z wyspy Gozo - Lord Chambray. Wystrój pubu bardzo gustowny i tematyczny. Barman stonowany, spokojny i uprzejmy. Warto tu wpa¶æ na whisky, no i ewentualnie na Blue Label.“

“A super small coffee shop with super friendly staff that just happens to sell eight quality Italian beers. A real find in this beer wilderness. Wifi too. I’ve no idea what the coffee is like but I hear it’s good!“

“A small expat bar a short walk from down town Sliema. Four taps... A lager, a bitter, a stout and a cider. What more could you want? A decent spirit selection like most Malta bars Seats about 35 Max. A friendly bar with an expat focus. Not much for the ticker but an expat would probably live in here. Nice free snacks too.“

“Small and friendly place in the heart of Sliema. No taps but around 20 quality mainly Belgian bottles. Plenty of wine too. Lots of ambience. A cool place to hang out for sure and the music is great too! Check it out.“

“A tiny little pub overlooking the sea. Seats about 25 max. There is so much memorabilia in here that you struggle to get yourself in. It had a real olde worlde English south coast maritime feel. There are 4 taps and several bottles and cans. It had a big English expat focus and as I look around I’m sure there are people in here who never drink anywhere else! I loved the 60’s music too. Come for the atmosphere or the whisky...not the beer.“

“Not really sure why this is on RB to be honest. They have nine taps and about 20 cans/bottles...some of which overlap with the tap beers. The only decent beer is Duvel and there are one or two local beers I had not had before. It’s on the beach and it had plenty of screens for the footy. On the downside, for me anyway, it turns Into a Karaoke disco pub during the evening. There isn’t much here for a Ratebeerian, but the wifi was solid which is how I’m rating this place now :-)“

“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.“

“The Salisbury Arms is a nice little UK-Style boozer located in the heart of Sliema. When we visited it happened to full of my countrymen! They offer the full Farsons range in bottle and a couple on draught. The bonus is they Los have some Belgian bottles. Friendly service and everything was served in the matching glassware. Free snacks were also brought to our table and everything was remarkably cheap. By Maltas beer standards this is one of the better destinations. Not bad.“

“Caffe Berry is a tiny Italian Cafe located just off the beach in Sliema. It sits about 2 people inside and up to 3 outside! As well as rather nice coffee they happen to offer 8 Italian micros, mostly from Amacord and served in chilled matching glassware. Friendly service and chatting locals. This was the only place I found in Malta with any decent Italian beer, so makes it a rather nice change to places only serving Cisk! I worthy stop for a beer if your are on Malta.“

“Eight beers on draught but nothing exciting (Guinness, Kilkenny, Carlsberg, Cisk, John Smith, Heineken, Stella and Blue Label). Generic trendy place, with trendy music and fast but impersonal service. Except for Duvel on bottle not much joy for a beer lover. Visited: 2014-04-14“

“Small but nice beer bar with a very decent beer selection, by far the best on Malta. I’m probably a bit colored by all the really bland beer bars I’ve been to so far, but this is the real deal. Last visited: 2014-04-17“

“Nice atmosphere, but barkeeper was a bit detached watching soccer on TV. Three bland beers on draught - Cisk Lager, Blue Label and Stella. Boring. Visited: 2014-04-13“

“If you like bad beer, big screen football, accompanied by futuristic musac, this may be your kind of place. Apparently they had Duvel as well. The waitress did not mention this when I asked which bottled beers they had, but according to a meny on the wall I noticed when leaving they did. Found the place by accident. It is located about 1 km further east on Triq It-Torri (Tower Rd.) than the Rate Beer map indicates.“

“Fairly good selection of local beer and the usual suspects both on tap and in bottles. Quite loud music inside, but ok outside. Ok place for a couple of beers if you’re in the neighbourhood. Good location on the Tower Road (Triq it-Torri). We lived quite close by, so we went here a couple of times. Look up the location, the proximity map here shows wrong location...“

“Nice interior, but the staff was not particularly service minded. Asked about what kind of beer they had, but didn’t get a proper answer. It seemed to be only the usual stuff (Some of the common Maltese beers plus Guinness and some other imports)“
