The Hole in the Wall is a bar located in Sliema, Malta.
It was originally used as stables & sold as a pub to its very first owner in 1922. At the time, it was literally a hole in the wall, with no seating & selling take-away wine from huge vats. The pub was frequented by pilots & cabin staff of British Airways, who would stay over-night between flights in a nearby Hotel. They used to say “I’ll see you down at The Hole” hence the name originated.[1]
In 1959 the bar was sold to Anthony Bartolo who ran the bar with his sons for 45 successful years. In 2015 bar went on to its current owners, the Schranz brothers, Ian Schranz & David Schranz, who revived the bar back to its former glory days, re-establishing itself, as a landmark location or culture & entertainment in the north of Malta.[2]
The Hole in the Wall, hosts copious live musicians for all over the world, art exhibitions, film-nights, talks and anything cultural, the bar boasts a no-advertising policy, and works only with small suppliers whenever possible.
