Saturday night always belongs to the Roman youth that goes out to discos, pubs, beer houses, comfortable bars or other nightclubs. That was the reason why my friends and I wanted to spend 2 weeks in this stunningly amazing European capital. And I can tell you, we were not disappointed!

On Friday we started with a trip through the cities cafés, bars and pubs, because many bars provide astonishingly diverse offers. The cocktail bars in which you only can drink beer, dance or surf in the Internet or disco pubs with live music or board games evenings are no rarity.

But we have seen also a lot of comfortable, unconstrained and inviting Wine bars where one can take small snacks to the excellent wine. Examples of them are the “Trimani Il Wine bar”, the “Cul de Sac” in the Piazza Navona, the “Cavour 313” or the “Spiriti” in the pantheon.

Finally we ended in numerous beer houses (mostly Scottish and Irish), furnished in English style and always well-visited. Here we enjoyed the great variety of beer and culinary specialties from Central Europe. In bars like the “Birreria Marconi”, to the pubs “Four Green Fields or Fiddler’s Elbow”, the “Birreria to Santi Apostol”i or the “Victoria House” it is possible to spend beautiful evenings with good conversation, live music, darts, billiard and of course alcohol. We have been staying there till 3 a.m. … but that is NOT the end!

Do you know that Rome has a huge number of night clubs? Our night ended at 7 in the morning and 3 clubs more. Discos like the “Gilda”, “Jackie O” and the “alibi”, are for providing a for the beginning of the 80s typical atmosphere. Elegant clothes are welcome and the audience exists of VIPs, politicians and actors. We have never seen so many celebrities in one place and it was really interesting to see and hear that they can be “normal” people like you and me, or like my friends and me.
