    Maltese Geordie Heaven
    Where to begin?? I went to the Step Down Bar on a locals recommendation of the Sunday dinner. She did not lie. After working for three years in Malta I’ve finally found a gem. You have to book in advance to guarantee a Sunday dinner, which I did not know. When I tipped up and enquired about maybe having a Sunday dinner I was unfortunately told it wasn’t possible. Fast forward 10 minutes and I’ve spoken to the Geordie owner Steve about the Toon and our prospects for the coming season and he’s managed to squeeze me a seat and a dinner. What a place. I went here for every Newcastle game and every Sunday for a dinner. The locals, that drank in the pub, made me feel like family and I loved every minute. As an English man I recommend this place but as a Geordie it is on the must visit place for Malta. I shall return one day to re-visit with old friends and cheer the toon again.

    Lovely, small and welcoming independent bar!
    Small, friendly bar with reasonably priced drinks. Cisk on draft (most places are cans) and one of the best pints I had all trip, you can certainly tell the owner looks after the place very well. Independently owned, visited a few times as we felt so comfortable and welcome. Shows the football too! Well worth a visit to wet your whistle! :)

    Best Sunday Roast in Malta!
    Step Down Bar is a true hidden gem, perfect for a laid-back meal in a cozy and friendly setting. Their Sunday roast is hands down the best on the island—succulent meats, crispy roast potatoes, and perfectly seasoned vegetables, all served with a rich, flavorful gravy plus a Yorkshire pudding! Can’t wait to go again next month :)

Fancied a Sunday dinner on a rainy day. Step down bar didn't disappoint. Succulent beef fresh veg and rich gravy. 2 meals bottle of wine and a few beers for 34 euro well worth it.

Great food.. Looking for a proper British Sunday Roast... Look no further, The Lamb is to die for..You have to book that's a must & the only negative I could find was the seats are a tad short for the height of the tables making it just a little uncomfortable to eat, Clean, tidy, cozy & friendly staff this place is an easy 5 stars.. A must visit!!

Very rude service from the owner of the bar! …. Owner kept coming and nudging my friends and I to buy drinks when we had already bought drinks… and I quote “ the bar is there… open …. Go and buy”

Funny way to keep your customers satisfied with service like that!

Please note, their were other customers that didn’t even go and buy drinks after one round and they weren’t told anything 😂.

Never visiting again!

They serve vermouths by 25 ml, the place needs an update on the measure rules. When challenged, the bartender said "there is no law which says how much we should serve". Appalling.

We popped in here for a couple of beers on a very rainy day, very friendly and helpful owners who gave us advice on how to get to Valletta and St Julian’s and ordered us a cab. Drinks are extremely cheap and very good value. An excellent little bar to pop into for a drink in a friendly atmosphere.

Hidden away off the tourist main streets it looked the type of little Maltese pubs I enjoy visiting. Although run by a Geordie expat it wasn't a very welcoming pub for us as strangers and the foul language used in general conversation by 3 male expats was dreadful.
