Party Earth Review Thanks to its slightly higher prices and understated décor more typical of Centro than the university district, Ferrazza Wine Bar is often singled out as the anti-San Lorenzo bar. Clean and modern, the décor consists mostly of racks of bottles separated by region and grape, an appropriate look for an enoteca that clearly ... more

Party Earth Review From the outside, La Pinta looks like any other student-centered bar in the neighborhood, brimming with patrons that crowd the entrance, fill the outdoor tables, and spill onto the sidewalk. Once guests finally shimmy their way past the chaos, however, they’ll find themselves in a kitschy nautical-themed restaurant and ... more

Party Earth Review Established in 2001 as a football bar, the theme at the amusingly named Ma che Siete Venuti a Fa’ (What the Hell Are You Doin’ Here) was originally based on the two owners’ amicable rivalry between Rome’s two football teams, an idea still apparent in the collection of jerseys and scarves that line the walls next to posters ... more

Rome Bars Overview
All roads don’t really lead here, but that doesn’t mean bars in Rome don’t line the streets. The nightlife begins slowly, after the requisite aperitivo that is such a fundamental part of Italian culture, and shifts outside to the streets and piazzas as the ever-fashionable partiers wander from bar to bar.
If hanging out in a piazza surrounded by picturesque ancient walls and fountains is too staid, those looking for a bit more action can take refuge in the energetic expanse of Rome bars. Testaccio is a great area to enjoy a lively bar scene, with just one winding street home to several cocktail spots and some great Italian dive bars, though the dive bar scene in Rome probably enjoys its highest concentration in Pigneto.
Stylish wine bars are the norm in Monti and the areas from Piazza di Spagna to Piazza Navona, while a rowdier younger crowd usually congregates at the bars from Campo de’ Fiori to Piazza Navona.
Makeshift bars pop up along the Tiber River during the summer, but those looking to escape the tourist crunch should head to San Lorenzo, an artistic neighborhood where anything goes, everything is encouraged, and young creative revelers let loose in festive bars.
