Ryan's Pub

Sliema, St Julian’s & Paceville


Pub action can be found at Ryan's Irish Pub, perched high up overlooking the action on Spinola Bay. It's a popular stop-off – crowded, lively, friendly and well-stocked with cold Guinness. It also offers some great pub grub, including gourmet burgers and delicious ribs, as well as screening football games. It gets clubbier later, with regular DJs getting the crowd going.
