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.

2 22
This trendy wine bar is one of Valletta’s talking points, combining striking modern architecture and design with a setting that is half in, half out of a vast vaulted cavern in St Andrew’s Bastion – the outdoor terrace with designer waterfall has a view across the harbour to Sliema. The list of wines ranges from Malta to the New World, the cocktails are professionally prepared, and there’s a tempting dinner menu, too.

Castille Wine Vaults
It’s a shame about the limited opening hours of this fabulously situated cafe-bar. It’s underneath the stock exchange building, accessed by walking down some steps and along a long low-lit passageway. 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 of wine (€8 for four wines).

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.

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).

Trabuxu
Around the corner from the Maestro is Trabuxu, whose name means ‘corkscrew’. This cosy spot is decorated with great B&W shots and musical instruments, and its menu includes perfect platters to accompany much wine quaffing. Local and international wines are on offer.
