The best bars and cafés Malta

Housed in a vaulted cellar, this wine bar offers a wide range of fine local vintages as well as international, Italian and French wines. In the evening, nibbles are served on platters, with exceptional cheeses and charcuterie, as well as homemade dishes. This address is also particularly appreciated for its mini-terrace on the stairs. It's a good idea to go there almost as soon as it opens, as it fills up very quickly and stays busy until late into the night, having become a benchmark for Valletta nightlife.

A pub at the strategic crossroads. To watch the show with techno.

Stone and wood for decor. Little concerts from time to time. Just watch slate to know the program. Also a very good restaurant, renowned for its pizzas, pasta and grilled meats.

It is not easy to find it, but it must be said that in general we are not looking for it. The flag in the colours of the London football club, the great challenger of Arsenal, much appreciated by the French, allows to locate it. There's not much to say about this small neighborhood bar, otherwise it's fun to find such an establishment here. Tottenham's non-fans (probably more than supporters) are welcome to take a drink in the day or night of games while watching the clock in the club colors.

In this bar, you'll enjoy a quirky atmosphere with sofas that take you back to another era, whether inside or out on the street. Located in Valletta's old red light district, this friendly bar is frequented by Maltese hipsters (yes, they do exist) and plays on the old codes of the district by displaying erotico-porn photos from the era on its walls. Many people are up late at night, as the bar is packed. Concerts are held around the corner almost every evening in summer.

A café and wine bar with a family tradition since 1991. It is right next to the Luciano and belongs to the same family. The decoration is typically Maltese with an impressive collection of photos and authentic objects telling the story of the city. In summer, the tables from the outside are just a few steps away from the cathedral. Good value for money and good service.

Between Balluta and Spinola Bay, a bar appreciated by those who enjoy a drink in music. Frequent rock concerts.

Guinness and good food.

Both are facing and are very similar. They are often crowded and clients of each of the institutions are interpellent by open windows. Heavy music, beer and fat in the program. In brief of the animated'boire'plants, very popular with the Anglo-Saxons.

Attended by good, smart people. A lively atmosphere facing the bay. Terrace in the day also, where the statue of Saint Julian seems inviting us to come to install us.

In the basement, the walls are in stone stone. You will come for the kitchen, classic and reasonably cheap (flat to 15 € on average), but especially for the little jazz concerts and classical music that sometimes happens there.

Bar with Rythm & Blues music and frequent concerts.

In front of the Jean-Paul guesthouse, an Internet cafe with games, billiard and karaoke. Browers Pub just below.

Italian café with sandwiches and pastries. Frequently full. Staff working in La Valetta rush at midday.

On the co-cathedral side, the terraces are rare. That of Café Marquee is of course being stormed. In front of Saint John cathedral, the place is pleasant, located on one of the most beautiful squares in the city, and close to everything. In addition to chopine you can take a small snack, pizza or salad.

Very popular with the local population, this address allows occasionally to attend small live concerts.

A pub in the pub decor where you can also restore.

The decor is cosy, but rather far from the Moroccan style, contrary to what the name of the bar suggests, if it is not a few poufs arranged by sea.

It is a very pleasant, relaxing place where you will come to take cocktails or smoke a supplied (beautiful variety of flavoured tobacco). During the weekend, more animated evenings are organized around 22-23 pm. The evening not to be missed really is that of Friday: you can see all the beautiful people of Malta.

This isn't Paceville, and yet this kiosk-bar is open practically non-stop, early in the morning and late at night. Very well located, with an infinite view of the sea, this cocktail bar is very popular, as much for its drinks as for its food, especially its pasta dishes or octopus salad. A little noisy to hear each other talk. No more buttons on the tables to call the waiters, but the wait is bearable. And don't worry if you come to Malta in winter and it's chilly, the space is heated. Very good spot.
