A little history:
Malta’s nightlife scene has evolved, but several factors have made it a popular destination for party-goers worldwide. Here are some key moments in the history of Malta’s nightlife:
- The arrival of British military personnel: In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Malta was a British colony and a key strategic naval base. As a result, the island was home to British military personnel. These soldiers brought with them a love for drinking and partying, so pubs and bars began to increase around the island.
- The opening of Paceville: In the 1960s, a new development called Paceville was built in St. Julian’s, a seaside town near Valletta. This area quickly became the center of Malta’s nightlife, with various bars, clubs, and restaurants catering to locals and tourists.
- The rise of tourism: In the 1970s and 1980s, Malta began to attract more and more tourists, particularly from the UK and other European countries. This influx of visitors fueled the growth of the island’s nightlife scene, with more bars and clubs opening up to cater to the demand.
- The introduction of 24-hour opening hours: In the 1990s, Malta became one of the first countries in Europe to allow bars and clubs to stay open 24 hours a day. This move further cemented the island’s reputation as a party destination and helped attract more visitors worldwide.
