Alchemy Bar

About this place Alchemy Bar

Alchemy Bar is one of Valletta's most stylish gay-friendly cocktail bars — a venue in the baroque Old City that serves as an elegant alternative to the Paceville club scene for LGBTQ+ visitors who want to combine Malta's extraordinary architectural setting with a quality bar experience. The bar occupies a historic building in Valletta's centre, near the Old Theatre, with an interior that honours the baroque character of the building while creating a contemporary cocktail bar atmosphere. The cocktail menu is ambitious and well-executed — using local Maltese spirits and herbs alongside international ingredients — and the staff have the specific knowledge and enthusiasm that characterises the better cocktail bars in European cities. Alchemy is a gay-friendly rather than exclusively gay venue, but it has built a firm LGBTQ+ following among Valletta's own community and international visitors.
