It was a about 15 euros to get in but as most clubs in Rome do, it covered a drink which was nice. I would say the place didn't get packed until about 12:45am/1am, which is fine because it doesn't open until 12am anyways. The music was so live and not techno which was good, if you want some rap/hiphop/twerk music, Thursday nights is your time to shine here at Akab...and don't miss the dancers....P.S. they smoke inside so expect to go home smelling like an ashtray.

Yooo!!! This place…read morewas live on a Thursday night in November! I came here for my last night in Rome and I had such a blast. Let me first disclose that I was unaware that IDs are not checked at the front door for clubs in Rome, so you will find a lot of young kinds in the club. It was pretty sad (and scary) to see how drunk they got. The lines were not crazy during the time we came, I am guessing because it was 12 AM-1 AM. What's nice is that this place doesn't close till 4 AM. It was packed as hell once we walked in. The music was off the chain, playing all types of Rap and Hip-Hop music. They seem to have various VIP lounges around the club. Drinks are cheap but not too stiff. I would encourage you to leave your valuables outside of the club and pay attention to pick-pocketers. Overall, if you are looking for a good nightclub to come and dance, then don't sleep on this place! You will have a good time here. I will come back here when I am back in Rome. This is known as one of the best clubs in Rome. A must if you are looking for some nightlife.

Except you can smoke in this one *big frowny face* Drink prices on par with home, music was techno-based, & the crowd you have to be aggressive with when moving around. Yet, I felt Italians were definitely not as weird or nearly as rude about space & movement like Americans are. Makes for a much more fun & relaxed atmosphere.

What does one do a late weeknight in Rome? Go to Vicious, apparently. Literally, this was the only…read moreplace open late on a Wednesday night, so off we went. Like the other reviewers stated, admission is subjective. We were asked if we were on a list, and though we said no, they still let us in. Perhaps there's power in numbers? There were 5 of us (all girls). The music was techno which is not my scene, but the experience was still a good one. We danced like idiots, took lots of selfies (to the point where others joined in), and chatted up lots of locals. One thing to note, like most other european bars, they do allow smoking indoors - so if you're sensitive to smoke, this is not your spot. Otherwise, check it out, don't expect a lot (no music other than techno was played during our visit), and be prepared for a scene different from your usual.

On Friday nights, Qube is called Muccassassina: the biggest advertised gay party of the week. If…read moreyou wanna see Rome's nightlife, this is THE place to go. The venue is crawling with flaming drag queens, fire dancers, men in cages, and men in jockstraps. Muccassassina is a 3 layer rainbow cake, each floor set up with a couple bars and dance floors with DJs playing different music: the ground floors has a mix of 90s and club classics, 2nd plays top 40, and 3rd plays remixed top 40 with some house. The 3rd floor is the biggest; it has an enormous disco ball and a lattice structure for the VIP/table "4th" floor. Music is LOUD with lots of bass. Light show galore and confetti on special themed nights. Getting in costs €15 and includes a free cocktail. The first drink is pretty weak, but the ones after are decent. Coat check is €3. Drinks: €5 for beer, €10 for cocktails. They don't give you tap water and insist on selling you bottled water, but if you persist or look drunk enough they'll give in. Dancers and bouncers are very nice up to a certain limit. I took off a star for the price and another one for the creepers. Near the end of the night, things get a little sketchy. Pigneto is one of the shady parts of Rome, so don't let "La Vita Bella" get your guard down. Taxis are lined up outside the club for a quick escape. This is my favorite place to club, but it gets a little overwhelming. Have fun and play safe!

If you are ETHNIC or AMERICAN BEWARE!!!!!!…read more Friends and I wanted to go out and dance and have a fun time on a Friday (12/14/18)night. We spoke with a few locals/friends who are from here and have been told this would be a good place to go. We managed to get on the list for free entry before a certain time and indeed we made it to this club before then only to be told by the man that the line we were in was for "reserved tables only" and that we needed to go to the other line (as he pointed in a vague direction) behind him. So then we found a different line where a bearded man was letting people inside and we politely (and in our best Italian) asked if he spoke English and explained that we were on the list. He enlisted help from another man who reminded me of Red Foo from LMFAO because of his hair and glasses and when we explained the situation to this guy (the bearded man was secretly saying something to him on italian during this) and we showed him the QR code he told us he "needed to find the specific promoter" for us as we were on "Lista Sunset"... needless to say we waited and neither my friend nor I could recall him looking for this imaginary promoter. After we waited for about 15 or so minutes my friend asked the bearded guy for an update and the bearded man this time enlisted the help of a woman bundled in a scarf holding a clipboard (who also had been standing by fake red foo and bearded man during the previous interactions the whole time). Without asking anyone or even looking at the clipboard (presumably the lista)... she said that the club was full, meanwhile Italians are being let it from the two other lines without hesitation. I responded that we know that they aren't going to let us in and that I hope she have a good night. I would also like to say that a part of the reason why we chose to come to this club is because we just wanted to dance and meet more Italians and upon doing research learned that this particular night at Piper club they were playing hip hop, r&b, and reggaeton. I am a mixed black woman and my friends are Puerto Rican. We are all American. Imagine how much of a slap in the face that was. We did attempt another club close by, that was right next door to another (fancier) club which I will review next and, again, was denied entry because "the line is only for reserved tables/there's another entry into the club on the other side"... both lies. And of course they played music music that reflected our cultures. We do love it here in Italy, and have had wonderful experiences with the people up until this point, but it's incredibly saddening and disappointing to experience this in such a culture-rich country.
