Nightlife:

Valletta falls very quiet when the last office workers and shopkeepers leave for the evening and the only regular nightlife to speak of are events at the Manoel Theater and the St James Center (see Culture below) plus a handful of bars.

Trabuxu, 1D Strait Street is a classic underground wine bar while just a few doors away Maestro e Fresco, 8-9 South Street is a more bohemian-style wine bar which hosts live music most nights. Café Jubilee, 125 St Lucia Street, is a pleasant and friendly little bar decorated Parisian brasserie style, where you can get decent bar food and a late drink.

Sacha’s Bar & Bistro, 37 South Street is the capital’s latest addition. It is run by one of the Malta’s top musicians and offers a variety of live music every night, from classical and jazz to pop and folk.

For nightclubs and a larger choice of bars you have to go to St Julian’s (8 km, or 5 miles, by road) where Paceville (pronounced patch-ay ville) is the island’s nightlife hub. The vast majority of clubs and bars here are aimed at holidaymakers in their late teens/early 20s. Axis, on St George’s Road, has been grooving since 1988 with state-of-the-party light and sound systems, glass dance-floors, VIP rooms and big name DJs from all over Europe.
