Circolo degli Artisti

Circolo degli artisti is very versatile place, the best time to go is in spring and summer because there is a very big garden wher you can chill out, drink and smoke. There is often film screening, market and other. In the close space there is always nice gigs and dj sets with very good acoustic.

Yeah guys this is a very cool place! And the garden for the hottest italian nights is the " i point" that every club should have. Prices are so good, and there are three different areas for every kind of taste. Very expert bartenders who really full your glasses, but the problem is the line to pay them! Sometimes you can find too many people but it depends of course from the artist who plays that night, but you will never be disappointed...

Circolo Delgi Artisti is my defining place in Rome. A city I misspent my Erasmus year in, I have been to a bunch of clubs, pubs, museums, and gigs, but none of them held a candle to this place. A Mecca for cool kids in bands and local artsy-types, Circolo is the beating heart of Rome's young crowd. The programme offers a variety of different events (although the Friday night indie disco is a strange cross between a really glamorous school disco and prohibition-era-looking drinks- stick with Peroni). You're as likely to be perusing the vintage markets or doing arts and crafts as you are to be seeing Two Door Cinema Club playing a set to a crowd of 35. It’s easy to keep track of what’s going on as the website is good and updated regularly. While the club programme is great and extensive, the real reason Circolo is special is the setting- the main club and bars are in a large garden with tonnes of seating, and this being Rome, it’s more or less fine to be sat outside all year round- unless you’re Sicillian; they seemed to think we’d lost our minds. Circolo is gorgeous, relaxed and at once thrilling. People are friendly and it’s a fairly international crowd, so no fear if your Italian doesn’t extend much beyond ‘ciao’. I accept that it’s something of a trip to get to from the centre, but I implore you not to be put off; one weekend when ATAC, the Roman public transport, went on strike we walked and hour and a half to Circolo’s Friday- night extravaganza. Don’t miss it. Walk if you have to!
