The Beer Cave occupies a XVI century cellar of the former palace of the influential Capitano Giacomo de Robertis, who was employed by the Knights of Malta. Like most old buildings in Valletta, the stones used to build this palace, now the Castille Hotel, were dug out of the bottom of the cellar and below it; creating very large wells. As a matter of fact, you are sitting on a vast interconnecting water storage system. The cellars that are now converted into The Beer Cave, formerly housed a bakery/kitchen complete with a terracotta oven, a stable with a ramp leading to the palace’s courtyard, a mill room, a wine cellar and various other storage areas. Whilst renovating the establishment we made sure that the aesthetics where barely altered, and that our cellar kept its original characteristics of the XVI century period which makes it such a historic and artistic architectural gem. We hope you appreciate all the effort put into this project to ensure that anyone can enjoy a night out in Valletta with great friends, good beer and homemade food accompanied by real live unfiltered music.
