Valletta Entertainment

  1. Castille Wine Vaults

    It's a shame about the limited opening hours of this fabulously situated café-bar. It's underneath the stock exchange building, accessed by steps and a long low-lit passageway, and in the dining area you can snack on panini and platters of Maltese delicacies, cheese, seafood or dips, plus learn about and sample some very good local drops.

  3. Labyrinth

    Night-owls will enjoy the dimly lit hidey-holes of Labyrinth, a cool and cavernous bistro/wine bar/club offering edibles and DJ entertainment. Somewhat fittingly, it's tucked away in a seedy-by-night alley a block north of Triq ir-Repubblika; there are plenty of nooks and crannies at street level and below in which to nurse a drink or whisper sweet nothings into someone's ear.

  4. Maestro e' Fresco

    A couple of inviting bars lure after-work locals and visitors to the southern end of town. The Maestro was a music shop from 1842 to 2001; these days it offers up snacks, brews and live music to help you celebrate the coming of the weekend (usually acoustic stuff on Friday, old classics on Saturday).

  8. The Pub

    Fans of the late British actor Oliver Reed might want to raise a glass to their hero in this succinctly named watering hole. This is the homely little hostelry where the wild man of British film enjoyed his final drinking session before last orders were called forever in 1999. It's a tiny, tucked-away place, but worth visiting for the memorabilia on the walls and to read of Reed's heavy drinking visits during the filming of Gladiator .
