The food at this place was good and well presented and the price reasonable for a large establishment. Food portions too. We shared a platter for two and it was very adequate and we were full when we left. The waiters were polite with quick service. The atmosphere was good and would suit a group of people if you had a large birthday party. Seating both inside and out if you happened to be a smoker. Happy hour gives you two cocktails for €10. Personally I don’t like the exceptionally large TV - sound non existent- but this was my preference. A good enjoyable evening with a good atmosphere and decent music (not too Loud either). I’d certainly bring friends along if we ventured to Malta again.

I went here with my wife during our one week's holiday to Qawra, Malta. I should explain that we are both elderly now, and so we found this gastropub, with its very loud music, to be a bit noisy for us. On the good side, however, the service was outstanding, and food excellent, with the most gianormous portions that I have seen in a long time; indeed the portions were that big it was almost off putting, but not wishing to upset anyone we did the food justice and ate what we could manage. I'd say that for value for money it is unbeatable, and if you are aged between 17 and 45 years of age, the loud music might well suit you down to the ground!

A place with very friendly and professional service. Despite the large number of drinks, they were prepared quickly. As for the quality of the drinks, there's really nothing to complain about; there's plenty of alcohol 😅 and they're prepared with attention to the right proportions. The food is very good and the portions are generous.
