I mean...yeah, it's a weirdly out of place tiny American college bar in the middle of Trastevere. But you know what? I went to a big public school in the States, and so did my wife, and it was actually kind of fun hanging out here on a rainy Halloween night. Drinks weren't too pricy, and the DJ was spinning a lot of party-friendly jams and bangers. We're in our mid-thirties now, but it was a little treat swinging by here for a couple drinks. Now, I wouldn't want to spend a whole night here (unless I was say, a decade younger or more), but I really wasn't that disappointed as we were wandering around the neighborhood. Exchange students, enjoy - wistful vacationers, have a bit of fun too. read more

If you're and American reading this and want to travel across the world to hang out with a bunch of american college students... because.... I dont know why you would actually.... THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! If you like DRUNK 19year olds acting dumb INSIDE and spilling out into the street, then THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! If you want to pay MORE money for "Meh" American beers across the world then.... you guessed it. THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! But I suppose if you're not American and looking for an almost American experience in... Italy (I don't know why you would) then... I guess go here. Drinks are cheap and unspecial. Decor is forgettable... but that doesn't matter because you'll be too drunk to see or remember it anyway. Basic Drinks. Basic level of friendliness from staff (I do love Italians!) Basic prices. Dont go here if you're looking for an authentic Italian experience. Go here AFTER your authentic Italian experience. read more

Gonna be honest with you guys, did not realize how incredibly tiny this establishment is the first time i went on account of it was dark and i was (to put it lightly) a touch inebriated. Aux cord slaps. Would not go with more than like 6? Friends because we probably would not all fit. I had fun though! Cheap dranks and lots of my fellow college students to hang out with, albeit with a few creepy older men peppered throughout read more

This place is really dope! Pretty small inside which makes it hard to dance a little and that sucks especially if the DJ is rockin (which he definitely was the night i was there) The vibe was cool. I'd definitely go back anytime I'm in Italy! read more

Okay I am sick of the G Bar slander on here. G Bar has actively and outwardly marketed towards the exchange students that attend JCU. G Bar is the exact same size as any bar in Trastevere besides Bar San Callisto and spilling into the streets is normal for any bar in Rome. There isn't a lot a space in Rome!! I don't know how so many people can write horrible reviews for things that are out of the owners and patrons hands. Now I LOVED G Bar when I was abroad, I should've paid rent basically. I lived in Trastevere for 5 months and would go to G Bar almost every night and that is not an exaggeration! I was able to make friends and meet so many people as it is a very popular bar among university students. I was able to form a relationship with Max and he is such a good guy! He cares about the safety of his patrons and continuously enhances the experience with new DJ's, great music from American to Italian, redesigned the floor plan to make more space and created countless memories for me and my friends. He even put on a beer pong tournament and had so many extra parties that he would invite all of the guests to. The bartenders are incredible and are constantly bombarded by the customers many requests but never once had they forgotten what anyone needed while trying to serve 15 people at once. Since I was fortunate enough to frequent this bar so often, all of these "issues" people have with G Bar, obviously don't understand Italy can and does operate in the same ways that other bars across the globe work. If you are American and looking for friends, go here. If you are an Italian and want to meet Americans, go here. If you want a nice drink and a great atmosphere, go here. If you are looking for a party, go here. If you are looking for deals on drinks and good quality booze, go here. G Bar after 10pm turns into a club like many of the bars in Trastevere. If you are looking for drinks without a crowd, go before the university students go, it is no different than the United States or any other country so don't assume G Bar is there to cater to your expectations as a tourist. I seriously love this place and the people, there is no reason anyone should not go to G Bar when in Trastevere! read more

G.D.J. Bar, often called G. Bar, is a popular hang out for English-speaking foreigners and students at John Cabot University. Every weekend, which starts on Thursday, there are throngs of drunk 20-somethings littering the street with their mini skirts and d-bag cologne. The actual bar is small and packed; at least 1 stranger's butt cheek is touching you at a time. Going inside is like crowd surfing. There's a DJ inside on a platform that plays remixed hip-hop and takes song requests. Prices are affordable and there are certain deals for students; on Thursdays shots cost €1. I've had a good margarita here, which was served in an actual glass. Usually, people are given plastic cups so they can sip or chug their drinks while they socialize outside. The bartenders are really nice and don't fool around making measly or weak drinks. I would like this place a lot more if it bumped up the "class." What G-Bar has going for them is great; their low prices and music genre make loyal customers and attract a certain college-age demographic. I don't come by here unless it's by chance and I do spend time talking outside. read more

Happen to stumble upon this place while walking around the Trastevere area and I can say that this place. Is jumping especially with American students. Now this place is really small, but they do have cheap, good, and strong drinks. They also have a DJ spinning all the good and current hits and a downstairs lounge area. This bar is basically a slice of America right in Rome and I have to add that the people are really nice here. read more

G.D.J. Bar, better known as G Bar, could be anything from a dream to your worst nightmare - it really depends on the night. It's located right in the center of Trastevere, which makes it a super convenient meeting spot before any late night adventure and also an almost unavoidable passing on most nights out in the area. So, here's the good and bad of the place: If you want to get into the nightlife of Rome as an English-speaking foreigner, this place is probably your best start. The regular attendees and bartenders also work with other clubs, so they usually can get you connected in those spots as well. Even showing up on a random evening, you're likely to get a wristband strapped on your wrist to get party bus access to some other event. Many of the other companies that cater to study abroad kids (Bus 2 Alps, Euroadventures, VJ Events) also tend to have people show up to promote. So overall, if you want to be "in the know" about what clubs are going to be full that night, this is where you pre-game. They've also got drink specials galore, so you can get cheap shots. Then, there's the bad ... It's an American bar. So, amidst your Roman travels, you probably don't want to spend most of your time in a place that isn't very ... Italian. The place is also extremely tiny, which means on crowded nights you are going to have to shove your way to get to the front. It also tends to get full of obnoxious study abroad kids during the beginning of the semesters. There are plenty of better bars, with cheaper and nicer drinks, right across the street. At least when you're a traveler, it's the type of place that winds up being the popular table in high school. Half the time it felt like you could make a Mean Girls style map of where certain groups were sitting (although everyone does mingle to say their hellos), and the other half of the time it was a massive crowd of drunken nonsense. SIDENOTE, the wall across from G-Bar is full of names past visitors have carved into the wall. Make your mark, it's basically tradition of the JCU (John Cabot University) students. read more

G.Bar/ Aka get hammered bar is a sweet place to let loose in the middle of Rome. Our friends sometimes devoted entire nights to the place depending on the crowd that showed up. With a constant flow of study abroad students from (John Cabot, John Cabot, and also, John Cabot) it was easy to get caught up. A lot of American college ratchets here and the drinks are just strong enough to make you cringe. But, the music is always good, and there is always a packed atmosphere of kids moving through to grab more drinks that they don't need. If you go on Tuesdays for tacos that is my #1 recommendation, otherwise get there around 10 or 11 and you will be surprised with the crowd that pours out into the streets. My favorite part about it is the fact of it being in the heart of trastevere where bars and food stops are abundant. Max, the owner is a sweet guy and should be friended on snapchat immediately. read more

Overall a fun gimmicky, no frills bar packed with American college kids--if that's your scene, you will love g bar. This place is filled with study abroad students and/or students from the area that go to neighboring schools (John Cabot, etc.) I went on a Saturday night for a spring break / Semana Santa trip with a group of girls. It was empty at 10:30 but pretty packed by 11. I split the Saturday deal with a friend, which was our choice of two beers and two drinks, two shots and two drinks, or two beers and two shots for ten euros. We ordered two gin and tonics and a vodka and tequila shot. The gin was not poured generously, as there was about 1 and a half shots put into a glass already stuffed with a lot of ice. The bartender was a bit careless and when she pushed my shot towards me, she spilled a substantial amount of it. This is a good bar for college students and is pretty reasonably priced. There's colored lighting and a small dj booth overlooking the bar so it has a nice atmosphere. Typical American college bar. read more

G Bar is like the Sistine Chapel on steroids. I've never been to a better pregame in my life. If you're from the states especially you gotta roll out with six or seven of your homies and take at least two shots of tequila to get the night started. Talk to my homie Saí, he'll take care of you. G bar 10/10. read more

Typical American-teenager-abroad bar, but micro-sized. There's not enough room to enjoy the music, which is only tolerable, but it's in a great area. read more

If your studying abroad, this is the place to pre-game. The deals are impossible to beat. The bar gets packed around midnight. It's mainly filled with American college kids. It's a lot of fun! Bartenders are friendly and can usually tell you which club you should head to depending on the day. read more

Fantastic place for happy hour! I came here with my husband and was pleasantly surprised. The service was spectacular, the atmosphere was superb, and the drinks were wonderful. With every drink you get free snacks which included: nuts, chips, and fresh olives. I truly recommend this place if you are in the Trastevere area of Italy!! read more

Classic bar for study abroad students. Cheap drinks. Owner is the nicest guy. Gets crowded past 12 so head there early around 10:30

Over the course of my four months in Italy I had the pleasure of making this place my most frequent watering hole. So obviously, seeing as I was a steady patron I have fond memories in the " G Bar." The staff was awesome, and after getting to know them they would frequently serve free drinks to my friends and I. Wednesday and Thursdays were the best days to go because they had Euro shots. If you have ever been out in Europe you know this is an absolute steal. The location is also awesome. The G bar is located in Trastevere, which is the place to be on a night out in Roma. An other positive but also the biggest negative is all the American students. Yes, it was nice to talk some English with out struggling to understand the person; but the rich American girls are often snobby, way to wasted, and simply not that hot. The other negative was it is a small place and often gets over crowded. Regardless, this place is a good time. read more
