It is simply called, ‘The Pub’, where Oliver Reed screened in the great films, ‘Castaway’ and ‘The Three Musketeers’. The royal navy best-loved pub specializes with all sorts of strong concoctions, otherwise you can take advantage of the free Wi-Fi and outside seating area, as you sit and capture the bliss of what Valletta has to offer. To make the most out of this historic memory…you can even buy a T shirt - featuring Oliver Reed’s last drinks orders!

Take pride in St. Julian’s, Malta… this special resort is situated in the central region of Malta and is one of the top places to visit for the ultimate nightlife affair!

Disco all night in St. Julian’s, Paceville, ‘Footloose Fun Bar’, which is ranked number one for the best bars in St. Julian’s, but more importantly it lives up to its name as, the number one ‘fun’ bar, where you can wildly let loose! This special gem on St. George’s Road is open from 8pm – 4am and serves all your favourite alcoholic beverages with competitive offers such as, ‘2 for 1’ pitchers/cocktails for those sweet taste lovers…where you can refresh yourself with a strawberry mojito, or a bottle of champagne for only 15 euros, spirits are from 2-4 euros… or sometimes when they’re feeling very adventurous they will sell free cocktails! Otherwise, if the mouth-watering cocktails aren’t enough, then you can dance all night long to the sound of the electronic vibes.

Another popular bar in St. Julian’s, introduces the stylish ‘Bedouin Bar’ for all you hipsters! This favourite attraction is perfect for brushing up upon the beautiful sea whilst you breathe in the fresh Maltese air. The bar is spotted at the ‘Westin Dragonara Resort’ and creates superb relaxing ambience, but also a quirky one as you can show off your dance moves to the sound of the island’s best DJ’s! However, those planning to start their summer early…then this popping place is only available from June to September, every Friday.
