Sailors’ Paradise — Restaurant in Valletta

I would LOVE this bar, but the extremely rude owner and unbearably loud music ruined my experience.

When we first came, the music was loud already but in the room we sat, it was perfect — pretty loud, but possible to talk. Then the volume was turned up, so we closed a door. Some random lady (the owner, as we found out later) just opened the door without any explanation and left. When we closed it again, she ordered us not to do it, so we asked her to lower the volume and tried to explain the situation, but she just didn't listen and left. The third interaction was the worst and final, the owner started to blame us for choosing wrong bar and argued that the music did not change. Then she asked us to leave the bar "if we don't like it" so we did.

One thing is to have different preferences, but screaming at customers and telling them they are wrong when they are expressing their opinion is not acceptable. Every interaction with the owner was just purely unprofessional and left me shocked. The place seemed great and I hope the owner will try to be more considerate of customers opinions. Unless that changes, I would steer away...

Unquestionably one of the best bars within the area for their exceptional service and genuine hospitality for the guests that have the pleasure of walking in. Moreover, the ambiance, coupled with your choice of music will literally keep you here for hours on end. In closing, I’m an absinthe drinker and finding a bartender that can makes drinks as fast as Diego AND equally delicious is hard to come by these days, so do yourself a favor and stop on by! Your wallet & tastebuds will appreciate it! ~...

I actually really enjoy this bar and I know it’s out of your control what customers do. However, when I entered and told your bartender what happened she apologized sarcastically and didn’t even go over and tell the customer to use an ash tray. The doorman at the bar below you says this...
