Currently on 1 week holiday in Malta. Years ago, I heard about a bar in Malta that had a major PNE theme. Anyone know if it still exists, what it’s called and where it might be?
btw, it’s been pissing with rain and not warm.

Are you sure you’re in Malta mate ? There’s been an issue with an Düsseldorf flight going to Edinburgh recently.
 
Just had a search online out of interest found this, never heard of it before!

Prestons – the fore-runners of Valletta FC

Before the Second World War there were many junior and minor teams in Valletta but, at the same time, there was no senior side representing the capital. This was before the Malta FA came up with the district representation scheme which stipulated that...

So looking online I can only see a Preston nightclub type thing but looking at the photos there doesn’t appear to be anything ‘North End’ about it. Does this actually exist? I hope so as I go to Malta in August.

That tells the story.

But the pub exsists as I have been in it. I'm also in Malta from 6th to 20th staying in Buggiba.
 
I hope there still is, we have friends in Malta that go back to when my dad was a kid. Would be good to go in when we’re next over!

It had one PNE beer mat in it that's all, hardly a PNE pub Roofer ?

Yes, I found the Times Of Malta article from 2010 - an interesting read. The bar is in Sliema, I think, on the north side bay of Valletta. It’s an hour on the bus from where we are and we went to Valletta on Tuesday, so have not ended up going again to find it, but the bar has good reviews on Trip Advisor.
We had a pint in the very nice cellar cafe under St Johns CofE Cathedral. That’s the tall spire on the waterfront - go up the staircase street and it’s on your left. E2.50 a pint and as cheap as you’ll find, and you can also learn a bit about the history of the Cathedral from interesting display boards. Daytime recommendation.
Our service bus passed The Pepperpot cafe in Buggiba which a mate of mine thoroughly recommended, but as we’re staying 6 miles further towards Gozo, not been there my self.
It’s rained on 3of the 7 days we’ve be here, so come prepared! Glad I was away for yesterday!
