Beer and music: a match made in heaven.
Local music is soaring! With local singers, musicians and bands hitting the make-do stages in local pubs, hosting small gigs or living it large with fully fledged shows, there’s always something or someone to listen to while you enjoy a cold draught.
The Thirsty Barber, St Julian’s
Found in the heart of Paceville, The Thirsty Barber is a great location to try out some masterfully crafted cocktails while some clean sound emerges from the bar’s set up. Find a spot in the back if you’re looking to have a conversation though - the music will overpower even your loudest friend!
Simon’s Pub, Sliema
The back streets of Sliema never sounded so alive. Simon’s Pub is famous for its excellent choice in music; even hosting a number of events where the stocked bar fully complements the supreme live music.
Bridge Bar, Valletta
This is the spot you head to for a night of Jazz! Grab a whiskey or a glass of wine, sit on the stairs by the entrance and let the talented musicians serenade you into a blissful evening in the capital. Bridge Bar is the perfect location for a relaxed night out.
The Beer Cave, Valletta
The Beer Cave have partnered up with Valletta 2018 to bring a variety of music styles to our capital city. The musty cave hosts everything from live reggae to rock, pop and jazz, simply by creating a music vibe for Malta’s population to get up and dance to.
Zeppi’s Pub, Qala (Gozo)
Probably the most vibrant pub in Gozo. The characters you’ll see here are awesome; it’s all about the music and Friday nights welcome some of the islands quirkiest, loudest and most amazing musicians to fill the tiny pub with the coolest sounds.
Hole in the Wall, Sliema
Another Sliema joint that’s full of character. The hipster vibe you experience at Hole in the Wall is like no other. From the choice of musicians they host to the decor inside the pub - this location is the ultimate spot for Malta’s oddballs.
Music gives meaning to life - it relaxes you and helps you unwind, so the more you listen the less you worry! A good pub should offer a great selection of drinks and occasionally surprise you with a killer band, and these six do just that.
