No, it’s not a 24-hour party, but there are still plenty of clubs in Rome to fill the night, and areas of the city have been set up almost explicitly for clubbing.
Of course, no one can venture onto the dance floor without stopping in for a slow-paced dinner or a few finger foods and glasses of wine during apertivo, but once this classic Italian Happy Hour passes, Romans are ready to lay siege to Gaul!....wait, no they’re ready to go out late and have fun!
Rome’s highest concentration of nightclubs is in the Testaccio and Ostiense districts, and Testaccio alone is home to more than a dozen nightspots heavily frequented by a hip local clientele, from bedecked dance clubs to smokey jazz and blues clubs. And even though Testaccio is known to attract a dressier mainstream crowd, venues like Conte Staccio and Villaggio Globale are far more alternative and punk.
Rome clubs have it all, from exclusive velvet-roped scenes to historic swingers clubs, as well as a small but vibrant collection of gay clubs. The nightlife scene during summer is especially cool, when many nightclubs temporarily set up on the banks of the Tiber River to give partygoers a reprieve from the inner-city heat and yet another reason to dance the night away under the stars.
