Salotto 42 has one of the most evocative positions in the city; lying in Piazza di Pietro, it overlooks the 2nd century ruins of the Temple of Hadrian which is composed of a dozen columns, making it a truly unique spot. When in Rome, why not enjoy your spritz with a view? This stylish little ‘book bar’ has delicious drinks, tasty finger foods and cool music. Mingle with an upscale crowd in the evenings or enjoy a more relaxed ambience in the later afternoons and be sure to grab a seat behind the sliding glass door to enjoy the vista. In addition to being one of the nicest bars in the city, it is also considered one of the best bars in the world.

With its painted white brick walls, mismatched furniture and coffee art, Barnum Café might be more suited to morning than night — except for the fact that its lovely atmosphere carries on past sundown, making it one of the better bars to catch an indie-chic vibe in the center. Girly and cozy, Barnum Cafe has creative cocktails, a curated wine list and friendly service for an evening in good company.

Bar del Fico

Bar del Fico is perhaps the most legendary watering hole in the city. Nestled in intimate Piazza del Fico close to Piazza Navona, both the square and the bar take their name from the fig tree that grows within the piazza. During the day, the tree provides shade for the Italian men who play chess beneath it, while in the evening the bar is swarmed by young and old alike. Bar del Fico is a real punto di riferimento, point of reference, in the city and has a tendency to attract a see-and-be-seen crowd. No visit to Rome is complete without a stop at this beloved bar and piazza.

Open Baladin

For an extensive range of beer with a real wow factor, head over to Open Baladin and admire its illuminated back-lit wall that’s lined with craft beers beckoning to be tasted. The brainchild of two Italian microbreweries, Birra del Borgo and Baladin, it has over 40 rotating beers on tap and 100 by bottle, covering all flavors and styles. It also serves up tantalizing burgers and hand cut fries if you want a bite to accompany your brew.
