In Rome you can do everything you want!

The best-known area for the density of its nightclubs is the area called Testaccio: try Cafè Latino, via di Monte Testaccio, 96, or Akab, not far away, and enjoy choosing many different places. Not far from there you will find the Ostiense Station area, here you’ll find Goa, open Fridays, probably the hippest pure dancing place, at via Libetta, 13, and some pubs (Barone Rosso, Rashomond club and more).

There’s also Ketum Bar, via Galvani, 24, a sushi restaurant (fairly expensive) which often has Friday music nights. In Prati, there’s The Place, via Alberico II, 27/29, which has live music. Otherwise, try and enjoy San Lorenzo and its live music pubs. San Lorenzo is close to the University ‘La Sapienza’, you get there by bus n° 3 (it used to be a tramway but due to renovation works a bus took the place of the tram) from San Giovanni in Laterano or from Manzoni (line A of the metro), or by tramway n° 19 from Piazza del Risorgimento, near St. Peter’s. It is the student-crowded area with as many pubs as Trastevere, many of them have also got live music shows on their calendar, try for ex. Beba do Samba on Via dei Messapi.

Otherwise you might want to try and discover Trastevere area with Piazza Trilussa, usual meeting point, and a dedalus of narrow streets with pubs and pizzerias. You get there with tram n° 8 from Torre Argentina – get off after the river Tiber and walk 200 metres – or with bus n° H from Via Nazionale, in front of Palazzo delle Esposizioni.

In the central area and around Piazza Navona and Campo dei Fiori, are the following:

La Cabala is good for Friday nights on via dei Soldati. La Maison is on via dei Granari, and Centrale is in Piazza del Gesù. Near the Pantheon, there’s Salotto, a very fashionable cafè-bookstore, at Piazza di Pietra, 42. In Villa Borghese, there’s Art Cafè on via del Galoppatoio, and off via Veneto is Room at Via Lucullo, 9, (Saturdays). You may want to try and find a typical USA atmosphere at Hard Rock Café in Via Veneto 62 A – here you will find good music and beverages and good food, both USA style and tex-mex and Italian, often mixed – and a collection of memorabilia and products to buy from clothing to home décor.

For a more mature crowd, Gilda’s on Via Mario de’ Fiori, 97, has a piano bar and disco floor. It’s very well known and easy to find from either via Tritone or Piazza San Silvestro.

For a more traditional Italian experience, try a neighbourhood enoteca, or vineria, these are basically wine bars, and some of them also serve excellent snacks. Two famous haunts in Rome are Bar della Pace and Harry’s Bar. Bar della Pace has a superb 50’s décor, and outdoor tables against a vine-covered exterior. It’s on via della Pace, 5, not far from Piazza Navona. Harry’s Bar (“legendary”), is the where-to-be-seen spot, with prices to match at via Veneto, 150, up from Piazza Barberini. Another really elegant (and high-end) bar is the Stravinskij Bar in Hotel de Russie, on via del Babuino, 9, off Piazza del Popolo and near the Spanish Steps. For a more bizarre mix of locals and visitors, there’s Jonathan’s Angels at via della Fossa, 16, near piazza Navona.
