Such a lovely spot for cocktails in Malta. The Thirsty Barber has live music which makes for a really nice atmosphere, though it is quite dark inside so the menu can be a bit hard to read. That said, the staff were lovely and happy to help, and the cocktails were excellent. A great choice for a relaxed evening cocktail :)

What a great bar!! Amazing cocktails and a chilled vibe. The staff are very friendly, with great service. Hands down the best cocktails in Malta. I would recommend the daquari and the Brunch Punch. We went here a number of times whilst in Malta and some nights they had live music, which was a lovely added extra. Big shout out to Dragan..not only is he a great member staff but he also knows how to play a guitar and sing a great song. He even took a few requests from us. Can't forget the mixologist guy (sorry we didn't get your name) who didn't keep you waiting for a drink. A top recommendation to visit whilst in St Julian.
