Our Story

A village bistro with a sporting heart

Right in the centre of Xewkija, moments from the village's famous Rotunda, this is where locals meet for a plate of pasta, a proper pizza and a cold Cisk.

Our name honours 1939 — the founding year of the Xewkija Tigers — and the friendly sports-bar spirit lives on in every match we screen. The kitchen keeps things honest: hand-stretched pizzas, hearty pasta, char-grilled meats and Gozitan favourites like fried local rabbit and fresh seafood, all made with ingredients from local suppliers. Families welcome — there's a proper kids menu too.
