Paceville is a world of entertainment with its multitude of restaurants, bars, clubs, casinos and gentlemen's clubs. Here's a few highlights along the main drag.

Paceville
Paceville, Malta's entertainment hub, spreads across five main streets with the piazza at its heart. It's thrilling to walk through, hearing the different music and theme each outlet has to offer! There's something for everyone in Malta's biggest entertainment district, and we've highlighted some main attractions you'll find along the road that starts at Hugo's Pub on Triq San Gorg and carries on straight down to the other side, on Triq il-Wilga. If you have the time, don't let this stop you from exploring the other streets throughout the district, bringing you worlds of music, dance, food, and fun.

Hugos
Hugo's Pub 
If you're going pub crawling, this is the ideal place to start. It sits at the beginning of the stairs to the centre of Paceville and is a pubby pub, offering screens for sports, as well as live entertainment by local and international performers. Catch some pub food here as well before your big night out.

Bacco
Bacco Sticks and Sum
One of the great things about Paceville is that it offers pretty much anything you're in the mood for - even a restaurant specialising in dim sum. Once the kitchen closes, this restaurant is transformed into a night club featuring top local and international DJs until the early hours of the morning.

Native Bar
Native Bar
Bring out your inner Latino and get your salsa on at this atmospheric themed bar. Native Bar stays open really late, and as the night goes on, the atmosphere warms up with different types of music throughout the various areas of the bar. The large bar sits right on the steps going up to the centre of Paceville, so it's a great place to perch and take in all the action.

Middle East Muse
Middle East Muse
This is typical Paceville; a Moroccan and Arabic Restaurant right in between a salsa bar and a Nordic bar! Enjoy a great meat tagine or a shisha smoke and drinks before heading off to the clubs.

The Nordic Bar
The Nordic Bar
The Scandinavian community in Malta is growing fast... which is why The Nordic Bar is full of Scandis partying one way or another well into the night. The bar is versatile with themed nights (karaoke, bingo), resident DJs and live sports.

Sahara Lounge
Sahara Lounge
Here you can eat, drink and chill. Whether you have a craving for Arabic food or just want to lounge around and smoke some shisha, the location of Sahara Lounge is smack dab in the middle of it all.

Club Havana
Club Havana 
The biggest soul, hip-hop and R&B indoor club on the island, Club Havana is situated over two large floors with areas dedicated to dancing, drinking and socialising. Two separate clubs are also joined to Club Havana - Havana 808, which offers techno classics, electronic sounds and trap music, and Havana Classics, which pumps out 80s and 90s rock and pop, attracting an older crowd.

Footloose
Footloose
A large dance and night club, Footloose is different from a lot of the clubs in Paceville in that the music is varied - from classics to the latest commercial tracks. The bar encourages visitors to let their hair down to get footloose and fancy free.

Soho Lounge
Soho Lounge
For some comfortable respite from the noisy and rowdy streets of Paceville, Soho Lounge offers a haven-like chic feel with a lounge bar divided into split levels. The lounge is connected via a staircase to So City Club, which is dedicated to a more late night club scene.

The Long Hall Irish Pub
The Long Hall Irish Pub
The latest addition to Paceville, this enormous pub is located right on Paceville Piazza. On offer is an excellent choice of IPAs and gin, as well as food served all day. Catch one of the frequent live performances by local and international bands.

Burlesque Gentleman
Burlesque Gentleman's Club
There are a lot of gentlemen's clubs operating in Paceville now, but a unique one is situated right across the piazza and upstairs from Peppermint Park. Burlesque Gentleman's Club offers just what its name suggests - charismatic cabaret shows and an atmosphere reminiscent of a bygone era.

Rock Bar Republik
Rock Bar Republik
One of the only locations in Paceville where rock music is played, find resident DJs here in-house on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. There are also a variety of live bands that play over weekends.

TRUTH

It's all in one at TRUTH - meats, beats and drinks. They keep it real with fun promos such as Taco Wednesdays, while the Meat Box is an in-house butchers display which shows the prime cuts of the day in a specially temperature-controlled room.
