What reviewers say

Visitors praise Maori Bar for its lovely, cosy atmosphere and fantastic location for drinking beer with sea views, especially enjoying its warmth in winter and pleasantness in summer. However, a common complaint is the difficulty in finding it open, with one visitor noting it was closed and suggesting opening times be added to its online listing, while another mentioned it was difficult to get to and now closed.

About this place Maori Bar

Maori is a seafront bar on Triq il-Lanca in Il-Fossa, the small inlet below Fort St Elmo at the tip of Valletta. It takes its name from HMS Maori, the WWII destroyer whose wreck lies in the bay just offshore, so divers are a regular sight from the terrace. The bar is reported to be lesbian-owned and works as a meeting point for Valletta's queer and creative crowd, with readings, live music and queer dance nights; Malta Pride events have used it. The setting is rough and simple: mismatched seating, stone walls, the sea a few steps away. Google gives it 4.6 from about 300 reviews. Check social media for event dates.

Lovely place for a drink. It's nice and warm in Winter and amazing in Summer. Parking is usually not an issue either. Very cosy atmosphere. Simone is an absolute legend ^_^

Owner was very nice. Overlooks the sea and all you have to do is sit down, have your drink, and enjoy the view!
