    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...

    Welcome to this exotic corner located at walking distance from the Pantheon. Habana is a small and friendly pub with an spirit that is overwhelming. In the first room, the bar, you can try one of the many tropical cocktails (cuba libre, mojito, caipirinha and many others) together with a sandwich or other snacks offered at the bar.
    The second main room, if you manage to get there, is the entertainment room and its where the dance floor and the stage are situated. Live music rock and pop covers are played on Friday and Saturday nights followed by dancemusic that goes on until closing time.

    Wine & Dine: One of the liveliest terrace in Trastevere

    The San Callisto in the
    afternoon is pretty quiet
    by melissa_bel
    In my favourite Rome neighbourhood, Trastevere, in a little square just between Viale Trastevere and Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere, lies the Bar San Callisto , an unpretentious, no fuss bar that became one of my favourite hang-out. The bar in itself is not much to look at but the terrace gets filled up at night with students and the local bohemian crowd. The tiny square is quite cozy, it is facing the old San Callisto church, now abandoned. The drinks are cheap, it’s a very relaxing place and it’s easy to make new friends here.

    What dress code?

    Wine & Dine: The best beer in Trastevere!

    This little pub is located in the heart of Trastevere and it is always full of people (not only because is little!). The good quality of the beer attracts a lot of guests, but also the friendly manners of the staff and the special atmosphere you feel here give an important contribute to the success of this place.
    An other significant point is that Big Gilda is in a strategic position, where people use to stroll frequently. Sometime you can also enjoy (it seems impossible for the limited space) live music!

    via del Politeama,

    by AlexDJ
    A bar housed in a former garage - hence the name (Breaks and Clutches). Just accross the bridge into Trastevere this small bar spills out into a little square, with candles burning and throngs of good looing people perched on the wall surrounding the square. The bar had a real buzz, which is what first draws the attention from the bottom of the steps, I found it to be a really friendly little bar with a good mix of patrons, the staff were friendly too and only too happy to help.
    Cocktails are a speciality and the Mojitos were amazing especially on a hot summers evening - the whole cocktail list looked fantastic and there seemed a good wine list too, although regretably I didn't sample any. There was also a very tempting buffet on offer which looked much better than the 2nd rate tourist crap I'd just eaten.
    The decor of the place was a juxtopisition between the futuristic and reclaimed which created a unique ambience.

    Wine & Dine: Irish Pub

    • A little blurry, sorry... I had been drinking - Rome
    A little blurry, sorry... I
    had been drinking
    by Marpessa
    Finnegans is an Irish owned bar in Rome. It feels like a typical Irish bar, with good Irish brew (Guinness is a given - although I am not a fan of the drink myself). It is a great bar to go to as it is not on the main streets of Rome (but is still in the historical centre) and therefore a lot of the people who come here are locals - well okay, a lot of them are Irish or from the UK, but they're not likely to be the same tourists who were checking out the Trevi Fountain or Spanish Steps.

    The atmosphere is great - sit at the bar and have a chat with the staff, play a game of pool (billiards) in the back room, sit outside, or sit at one of the booths/tables and just relax. When I went here it was because there was a 'friendly' football match on - Ireland v. Italy - Italy won 1-2. If you're looking to watch anything sports related to Ireland (Rugby, football, gaelic football, hurling) - they will, more than likely, be showing it here.

    So, if you're in Rome, but for some reason feel the need for a good Irish pub - then this is your place.

    Fiddler's Elbow
    by Paul2001
    The Fiddler's Elbow came recommended from by guidebook(Rough Guide) where it was mentioned that Newsweek hated rated this as one of the ten best bars in the world. Well such a claim is subject to argument, I did enjoy the place immensely. The Fiddler's Elbow was but two blocks from my hotel, so that was another reason I decided to stop in. The place was packed with hardly a place to stand. I eventually found a place at the bar beside a sixtish year old man. He turned out to be a Irish Clementine Monk and a very good conversationalist. Anyway this is the kind of establishment that draws both tourists and locals hence you could meet someone from anywhere. Since my visit, there has been another two establishments by the same owners opened up in Venice and Florence.

    • The bar at Vineria Reggio - Rome
    The bar at Vineria Reggio
    by sniem
    Vineria Reggio is a great enoteca located directly on Campo di Fiori. They have a huge selection of wines by the bottle and offer around 30 different wines by the glass too.
    If you drink your glass of wine inside at the bar you pay 1 Euro less by the glass than if your served outside. It's great to sit inside and watch people but its fantastic sitting outside in the evening overlooking the piazza.

    We had something like OOOOOoooh!
    And the OOOooh-feeling doesn't bump up
    that often. This is a bar located on a little square-
    the piazza Mattei , which is known for it's
    foutain with tortoises.

    There are some simple chairs were you can sit
    down and enjoy the sound of the water of
    this little square. Most tourist don't seem to
    come to this place. I don't like those huge
    squares were you have to sit packed on one
    of those terraces. (often with a group of noisy
    'Hollanders' at your side)

    We had already a long day going -
    inside the ceiling is quit low .
    An eclectic collection of colorful sofas is
    waiting for you to hang , sit....

    I discovered some local liquors on the menu..
    That is what I wanted. Lemoncello. Delicious.
    A soon got a bit dizzy , the soft yazzy music
    made me dizzle....

    Something else positive is that your not
    allowed to smoke cigarets inside.
    (ok that was positive for me -)


    We only found one like this in Rome -
    write it down , it is worth it!

    If you want a walk on Rome's wild side, all you need to do is sign up for the pub crawl. Any of the major Rome hostels have tickets for the "festivities." It includes a short walking tour of a few of Rome's attractions, a guide/host, entrance into 4 bars, each with a free shot and reduced price drinks. All in all, it is a great way to meet young people from all over the world, and basically to drink. Can be fun, especially if its your birthday!

    Normally, I blow by this bit, but it IS Italy. Without a doubt you can dress up for the occasion and still feel scrubby compared to the locals, or you can dress like all the other tourists and at least be comfortable while the locals laugh at you. Your choice.
