It all began in August 2020 with a simple idea: our founder, Alberto, hosted a casual gathering with a few friends in a coffee shop. After a long period of self-isolation due to the pandemic, people longed for social interactions, and the attendees positively welcomed this get-together. From then on, every month, Alberto organised gatherings whereby more and more people joined in.
Our development from a small gathering in a coffee shop to the thriving community that is The Aperitif has been a remarkable journey. What started with a handful of people quickly transformed into a network as attendees began bringing friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. To keep things fresh and exciting, we decided to switch up our venues every month, offering our attendees diverse settings and atmospheres.
As our numbers grew, we recognised the importance of expanding our horizons. We aimed to attract professionals from various industries, limiting attendees within the same field to foster diverse interactions and enrich networking opportunities. Last year, we decided to launch a new concept to elevate the value of our gatherings further, whereby we introduced occasional guest speakers who share their insights and knowledge.

April Event
Our April Aperitif had a little bit of everything – warm conversations, a lively breeze, and a sunset backdrop that made the evening all the more special. As it happened, the event coincided with Malta’s Startup Summit and we were delighted to welcome some of its participants into the mix. Conversations took all sorts of interesting turns – just as the wind did – and it was brilliant to see new ideas and fresh connections taking shape. A big thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening what it was. Enjoy the photos – they tell the story better than we ever could!
Our March Aperitif brought together a brilliant mix of people, conversations and unexpected moments – from thoughtful discussions to bursts of laughter, all reflected in the expressions of our guests. A special thank you to Bahia Restaurant for always welcoming us with such warmth, providing the perfect setting for another splendid evening. And to everyone who joined us – your energy and stories made it truly memorable. See you at the next one.
February Event
February was all about creativity and connection! Our guests tapped into their artistic side, painting a fantastic piece of art with the guidance of Victoria from Sip & Paint Events. The warm and welcoming team at The Little Bastion made us feel right at home, creating a cosy atmosphere filled with laughter and positive energy. But don’t just take our word for it – have a look at the photos and see for yourself.
