‘Strait’ out of the 1920s THE THIRSTY LAWYER BAR AND RESTAURANT IN VALLETTA’S STRAIT STREET IS A 1920S PROHIBITION-STYLE BAR AND RESTAURANT WHICH OFFERS A MIX OF ENTERTAINMENT, APART FROM A VARIETY OF QUALITY FOOD AND DRINK. The design of the place incorporates a performance stage in a bid to stick to the Strait Street era and the venue reminiscent of the Silver Horse, as it was once called. The venue features a dining area, a lounge to chill in over a drink or two designed to make you feel at home, a luxury VIP room and two bars, with a wide selection of drinks to choose from.
Owner George Adade said that in terms of design elements, that is materials, textures and colour schemes, the idea was to keep as much of the original features, at least as much as possible. The original tiles were saved, while a marble stone, displaying the original name of the bar, Silver Horse, engraved on it, was also kept.

The underlying theme of The Thirsty Lawyer goes back to the 1920s/30s, with a mix of Prohibition and art deco in line with Strait Street’s past. “We have been dubbed a fine-dining restaurant, but we like to think of ourselves as a high-end eatery,” Mr Adade highlights. Mr Adade wanted the eatery and entertainment establishment to stand out: “It is vital that our service, food and drink tie in well with the quality of the interior.”
