Malta’s hottest Latino bar will be open from 10:30am on St Paddy's Day, right on through to the early hours of the morning the next day – plenty of time to get smashed (and sober up!).

7. Red Lion Pub, Qawra

This sports bar in Malta’s northern seaside town is the perfect spot to get away from the St Paddy’s crowds and enjoy a cold one, or four! They’re even giving out a free hat with every three pints of Guinness (until stock lasts). Red Lion Pub boasts quite the menu too (order the Sunday roast - trust us!), so you can sit in all day, sip on drinks, eat some delish food and watch the footy. #XiTridIktar?
