Footloose: students, expats and Erasmus

Footloose Paceville: The student spot on Mondays, the Erasmus hub on Wednesdays

Buy 1 pitcher, get 1 free. That’s the deal.

Wondering where to go out in Paceville without breaking the bank? Let me share a real gem.

I’m Léo, 24, currently interning in Malta since February 2025, and believe me, I’ve tested a fair share of nights out — from fancy clubs to hidden bars, loud rooftops to silent discos.

And if there’s one plan I recommend to every student, young expat or Erasmus, it’s Footloose.

Why? Because beyond the awesome vibe, Mondays mean buy one pitcher = get one free. Seriously, what better way to kick off the week without emptying your wallet?

Going out in Paceville without messing up

Staircase leading to Paceville’s nightlife zone, perfect entry point for an unforgettable party night

Paceville is the party zone in Malta. But between overpriced clubs, empty bars, and places charging €14 for a cocktail, you gotta be smart.

Footloose checks all the boxes:

  • Affordable
  • Central
  • Young crowd
  • Music on point
  • Student-friendly prices
  • Free entry every night
  • Open until 4am
  • Consistent events that keep things fresh week after week

Going out in Paceville on Monday: The student must-do

The vibe? Chill, open, never annoying

Mondays, the club starts filling up slowly from 10pm. No pressure, no dress code, come as you are.

You’ll run into classmates from your language school, flatmates, new arrivals — always new people to meet and stories to share.

Smart drinking in Paceville

And most importantly: buy 1 pitcher, get 1 free. Whether you’re into rum-coke or down to share a board of shots, your budget stays solid.

You start the week smiling (maybe with a tiny headache Tuesday morning, let’s be real), and already thinking about the next one.

My first Monday at Footloose Paceville

I still remember my first Monday at Footloose. I almost didn’t go — I had to start my internship at 9am the next day. But a friend said, “Come on, this is the student spot.”

Result? An incredible vibe, great music, super chill people… And that pitcher deal made me forget about the early alarm.

I met a French girl doing an internship in events, an Italian guy we danced to Bad Bunny with, and a group of Belgians studying in Msida. One of those nights where you’re like: “Yep, I landed in the right place.”

It’s also the kind of experience that helps you settle in when you’ve just arrived in Malta. You want to go out in Paceville, but not end up in some tourist trap where you don’t know anyone. Here, you hit a lively, no-stress spot where you immediately feel at home and free to be yourself.

Going out in Paceville on Wednesday: Top Erasmus night!

Full international vibes

Wednesday is the guaranteed melting pot. Italy, Germany, Morocco, Spain, Poland… it’s like a Eurotrip without leaving the dancefloor.

You come to dance. And suddenly, you’ve made two new friends. A Swedish guy hands you a shot. And you’re singing Burna Boy like it’s your anthem

A playlist designed to get everyone moving

Music-wise? Spot on:
TikTok trends, current bangers, unexpected electro remixes, and the best Latino and Afrobeats of the moment.

You’ll hear Hamza, Shakira, Central Cee, some Dua Lipa, and that one 2000s remix you forgot but scream on the second note.

👉 It’s simple: every song hits. And you dance, sweat, smile, repeat.

(H3) Don’t miss out on Instagram for events

Footloose doesn’t do cheesy theme nights, but they throw special events around big holidays: Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Black Friday, Easter, New Year’s, local fests…

Custom vibes, themed cocktails, surprises at the bar — everything you need for a fun night without losing that Footloose style.

Haven’t tried Footloose yet? Now’s the time!

Honestly, if you just landed in Malta and want to party in Paceville like a local, you now know where to go.

Footloose isn’t just a club.

It’s the meeting point for students, the midweek Erasmus HQ, the kind of place you return to because the vibe is always right and never gets old.

Come on a Monday? You’ll bump into all the francophones.

On Wednesday, it’s another universe: Europe on a dancefloor.

And each time, you leave with a new story, a new group chat, and maybe a few blurry photos.

I go almost every week. So if one night you hear someone yelling to Jul or dancing to Bad Bunny with a pint in hand — no doubt, it’s probably me. 😎
