Every locality in Malta and Gozo, no matter how big or small it is, surely has at least one Każin. It is the place where people of all ages and lifestyles meet during the evenings to drink, eat, laugh, gossip and possibly even start a fight when drunk, which they’ll forget the next day!
Whether young or old, male or female, single or married, the każin seems to be a popular meeting place throughout the year. Here are some reasons why Maltese people love to hang out at the Każin.
1. Free flowing appetisers
There is nothing the Maltese love more than good food that they do not pay for! Free appetisers at the każin range from żebbuÄ¡ mimli, bigilla, galletti, tadam imqadded, chips, traditional ħobż biż-żejt, bebbux and Ä¡bejniet, all the way to fenek moqli, mozzarella sticks, chicken nuggets and meatballs. Rest assured to leave the każin feeling full!
2. Cheap beer
Unlike other bars and pubs, the Maltese Każini are well-known for selling cheap beer and that is what makes them a perfect place to hang out with friends on any evening of the week. Not only do you eat for free, but you also get drunk without spending too much money on alcohol!
3. Big screen
Maltese każini become a very popular place for people of all ages to visit when there is a good football match on T.V. or else when there is the Eurovision, because we all know how close to heart these two things are for Maltese people.
4. Gossiping
Well, Maltese people cannot really deny that they love to gossip about everything and everyone. As a result, Maltese people seem to love going to the każin simply because it’s the perfect place to elicit information you are curious to know.
5. Storytelling from the mouths of drunk people
The każin is the ideal place to be simply because there’s never a dull moment there! Whilst people are busy gossiping, eating for free and drinking beer, there is always that one person who slays the rest with funny jokes and stories or rather, what the Maltese call “bużulotti.”
6. Music
The każin is also ideal because it offers good music to listen to whilst drinking, eating and laughing! Whether you’re an Elvis Presly fan, a Modern Talking fan or a Justin Bieber fan, at the Każin, you will surely find the music which pumps you up.
7. Billiard
Maltese każini are also very popular for challenging a friend or a relative to a game of billiard for a round of drinks! Such a game is proof of how competitive Maltese people are amongst each other and it is also entertaining to watch for those sititng round the bar drinking beer.
