Now that football season is back with a vengeance all over Europe, it’s time to choose your favourite Maltese haunt for the dozens of nail-biting matches ahead. If you’re still a little unsure where to go to really make the most of this year’s sporting season, we might’ve just found your new favourite place. 

Here are six reasons why Open Waters in St. Julian’s needs to be that place.

1. They’ve got a massive big screen

You can forget about missing any detail of whatever match you’re watching with a screen this big. And let’s face it; it’s the most important thing to have if you’re there to watch a game.

2. Beer is available on tap and at self-service

If there’s one thing you need an abundance of while watching any sporting event, it’s beer. Open Waters sure look like they understand that, because tables come with their very own beer tap for a self-service experience straight out of every football fan’s dream. 

3. Hungry? Oh, they’ve got you sorted

If you’re going to be spending a couple of hours hanging out with friends, you might get hungry. If you do, Open Waters’ restaurant will more than satisfy any cravings you get. And they’ll do so in the most Instagrammable way possible. Taste buds (and phones) at the ready.

4. It’s an all around great atmosphere no matter what you’re up for

Open Water happens to be a great place for lunches in the sun with the family. It just happens to also be the best place to down a couple of pints with the lads and watch your favourite team annihilate the competition.

5. And the view? Well…

Open Waters is as close at it gets to the sea without actually being built on the sand. Situated right across the street from St. George’s Bay in Paceville, it’s one of those only places which combines a central location with the beach vibe. And with a view like that, we’re sure no one’s complaining.

6. The cherry on the cake; good prices

Sure, a great view, atmosphere and beer on tap is all well and good, but it’s nothing without good prices. Open Waters regularly offer deals on both food and drinks, making sure their patrons enjoy a happy hour in more ways than one.
