Bar del Fico: Alfresco Bar for people watching
  • Tip Rating:
  • Bar del Fico is located in a small square, not far from Piazza Navona.

    We had a couple of drinks here before dinner one night. Drinks were reasonably priced and there were plenty of free bar snacks!

    There is a large outside terrace which is a great place to relax and do some people watching.

    Jonathan's Angels: Quirkiest Bar in Rome!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Jonathan's Angels is one of the most bizarre bars I have ever been to.

    It is owned by an ex-circus acrobat, Jonathan, who is also a bit of an artist......the bar is decorated in paintings of the man himself, impersonating famous people - eg. Jonathan as the Pope, Jonathan as Napoleon etc

    Any wall space not covered with paintings of Jonathan is covered with other quirky paraphernalia. But the most bizarre of all is the toilet, which is worth a visit, even if you don't need to "go".

    Staff are friendly and drinks are good, but not cheap - well worth a visit though!!

    No one takes any notice of you, there is too much else to see here!!

    Rome by Night: The City at Night
  • Tip Rating:
  • One of my favourite things to do in Rome in the evening is to watch the sun set and then the city light up.

    Many of the fabulous buildings are flood lit, really making them stand out and look even more beautiful than they do during the day.

    Just take a wander around the centre of town - it is full of locals and tourists alike, enjoying the bars and restaurants and the vibe of Roma!

    Dress to impress.....or just rug up warm like me!!

    Thanks to a tip that I read on VT before our latest trip to Rome, we popped to Vineria il Chianti one evening and had a fabulous night.

    We were lucky enough to get a seat out the front in a small courtyard, and settled back to enjoy a glass or 3 of some delicious Italian wines.

    There is an extensive wine list and also a fabulous food menu.

    Service was friendly and efficent, and a great night was had by all - I highly recommend this place!

    We were pretty daggy looking.....had been site seeing all day...

    This former stable area with its rowdy wine bars has remained true to its history in one way. It is now the rowdiest nightclub area of Rome - cars jam the parking lot - people line up for entrance to clubs that offer something for every taste (from discos to alternative open air and gay clubs on certain nights) and every wallet - lots of sleaze, nasty bouncers, and a distinct Bohemian atmosphere. The young locals are there enforce on any given night; but, of course, the weekends are a madhouse. It is far enough from residential neighborhoods to be no nuisance and in a not very desirable area - but if you're looking for decadant nightlife - this IS the place.

    Photo 4 - A snippet of history on pre-nightclub Monte Testaccio - with excavated caverns housing rowdy wine bars and stables - at the time was not touched by the development of the new quarter and its inhabitants were proud of the new rione symbol, a testae, the amphorae used by the ancient Romans to contain wine and oil.

    OTHER NOTABLE CLUBS - Amnesia (the club with the glass floor) - great club for people in their 20's & 30's. Also, ICE CLUB, Via Della Madonna Dei Monti, 20
    is a MUST see - so cold its HOT - made entirely of Ice (they give you a warm-up wrap so you can stay while you drink to warm up!) The first one we saw was in Milano.

    Whatever!

    Tables, seeing from above

    The best nightlife in Rome is not inside a club with music blaring and people dancing, but at tables outside a piazza. The passeggiata is always the event of the evening, but a drink after dinner requires a table that is open out to the street or the piazza.

    Isn’t watching night fall the best way to end the day, just as watching sun rise the best way to start it?

  • Tip Rating:
  • The beatles even used to come to Piper, it was a hot spot in the 60's and it still is! The first floor has a big dancefloor. The second floor is also for dancing or just lounging. check out their website! :)

    You have to dress very trendy or smart to get in! The bouncers are very strick at Piper..

    Campo dei Fiori: Campo dei Fiori
  • Tip Rating:
  • One of the squares in the city, that is filled with pubs and bars. There are lots of students there and backpackers. You can also buy a drink and stand in the middle of the square like the young italians do. This way they get to talk and people watch!

    The Drunken Ship: The Drunken Ship
  • Tip Rating:
  • Most popular bar on the Campo with a modish design that distinguishes it from other more classical venues. It's the place to go if, you don't mind being around some tourists. A great location right on the piazza, DJs most evenings and happy hour from 5-8pm.

    Zest Bar - Es Hotel: Zest bar - Es Hotel
  • Tip Rating:
  • At the seventh-floor roof top bar of the fantastic Es Hotel. This place has got a real chic interior and a fantastic view ovet the termini station.

    I'm pretty sure you'll like Zest Bar if you're into the "typical" italian look. Designer wearing, over tanned, the guys shirt is open two or even three buttons too much and their gorgeouse girls on the highest heels you can imagine. Many people from italian TV hang around here.

    In winter the roof closes, but I like it best in summer when the pool deck opens of course!

    Smart / Trendy
