Pole Pole A small, cozy place where you can slow down, kick back and feel at home. “Pole pole” is a Swahili expression meaning “slowly slowly”.

In this modern and hectic world, we are so caught up in the frenzy that we have lost sight of the simple things in life, a warm coffee, a good vinyl, the pleasure of chatting to a friend for hours, a stranger walking by and smiling, the warmth of a sincere hug…
Pole pole is a reminder to slow down, take it easy and rediscover the simple pleasures that this wonderful life has to offer. A little bit about us...

We are Giulia and Aleksandar, we met here in Malta through a series of funny coincidences and haven't parted since. We are like the sun and the moon, day and night, fast and slow ... but we work. We share a passion for music, books and everything that warms your soul and we decided to put this all in a space where we can it can be shared with those who have helped us along the way and those we are yet to meet. In 2021 we welcomed the newest member of our family, baby Luna. She is a little ball of energy and cuteness that has turned our life upside down and made it so much more interesting. We are now a funky trio and you’ll often find us all at Pole Pole, where we like to spend our time with the wonderful people that we have been blessed to cross paths with. Sometimes we open late, sometimes we forget things, we are often tired and sometimes grumpy… but bear with us because we love every inch of this little cave and the people that gravitate around it. So far it’s been great and we look forward to meeting more people and creating new connections, because life is just so much better when shared with those you love.“Pole pole” is a Swahili expression meaning “slowly slowly”.

This Friday, October 23rd, we invite you all to celebrate 6 years of Pole Pole with us, with a classic Friday Takeover by a very dear friend. J Shape | Bonair

We want to dedicate this evening to all of you. Because Pole Pole has never been just about us. It has always been about the people who walked through our doors, the friendships made, the music shared, the conversations, the laughter, and the incredible support we've received along the way.
Through all the ups and downs, you've given this little place, and us, a reason to keep going.
And six years later, that means more than we can put into words.

So come raise a glass with us, dance a little, and celebrate everything we've built together.

Six years of Pole Pole. And what a ride it's been.

See you under the disco ball!

Love,
Aleks, Giulia & Luna

Comfort Sundays are back ❤️🍲

You know that feeling when you go home for Sunday lunch? Something homemade on the table, no rush, people sitting around a little longer than planned.
That’s what Comfort Sunday is about.

Every other Sunday, we’ll cook one comforting dish, served with something on the side, water & coffee or tea. A different plate each time, made for slow Sundays at Pole Pole.
Start at noon. Served until it’s gone.

Keep an eye on our stories for the next Comfort Sunday dates and what’s cooking.

A W**e Affair, in a few very unfiltered moments.

Good w**e, good food, good people around the table.

That’s really all we wanted it to be.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We had such a great time.

Next one: 31 October. Halloween Special.

See you around the table.

Summer is slowly saying goodbye, and we’re switching to our winter hours! 🍂

From October, Pole Pole will be open on our new winter schedule. A little less sunshine, but the same cosy space, good music, comfort food and friendly faces. 💚

Some birthdays just need good friends, a few drinks and the right music.

This time we’re celebrating our alterlego , with our dear Puma joining us for a special Thursday session behind the decks.

Nothing fancy. Just our little Pole Pole family getting together for a night of music, hugs, drinks and probably a little too much dancing.

Come celebrate him with us ❤️🎂

Fabio on the decks,
Aleks on birthday duties,
You lot making it special.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Fabio’s night, raised a glass, played a record, donated and simply showed up with so much love.

Together, the evening raised €150 for Rare Diseases Malta, in honour of our dear Fabio.

Thank you for helping us turn a night for a friend into something that can help others too.

And most of all, Fabio, we’re waiting for you! 💚

A good friend and a familiar face to so many at Pole Pole, Fabio has shared many nights, drinks, laughs and memories with us.

Right now, Fabio is facing Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological condition that has taken him away from us for a while as he fights his way back to full strength.

This evening is in his honour. A chance to come together, celebrate him and celebrate life, as we wait for the day he’ll be back with us where he belongs.

The decks will be open all evening, so if you know Fabio, bring along a vinyl with a song, an artist or some music you know he loves, and play it for him.
If not, feel free to dig through our collection and choose something in his honor.

And behind the bar, we’ll have Antonio joining us, another dear friend of ours and Fabio’s, helping us raise a glass (or a few) to our friend.

Come surrounded by friends, music and love, and let’s make it a night for Fabio.

Part of the evening’s proceeds will be donated to Rare Diseases Malta.
