This cult bar in Via Morosini in Trastevere has quite a fan club, and you can see why. Attracting a few students from nearby John Cabot, it is also popular with a young Italian crowd, attracted by its eclectic interior on three levels.
The cellar lounge is a mirror lined homage to the 1980s, while the ground floor area where the bar is located is equally trapped in a timewarp. As you sip your cocktail or beer, you can admire still-packaged A-Team, MASH or Doctor Who toys, proto-video games and 1970s Playboy Magazine covers.
Upstairs, there's a vintage table-football table and cushioned lined benches, although they're not the most comfortable.
The staff is laid back and friendly; on the last visit we talked them into swapping in our own music collection via Spotify, and they had some nice ideas for the cocktails we drank: adding Angostura Bitters to the Negroni gave it a nice depth.
It's one of those bars which would potentially look a bit shabby with the lights on but in the dark its a fun, eclectic place to be. It's great with a group of friends and seems to attract a relaxed selection of punters. Technically, it's famous for its selection of rum but they also serve everything else from beer and wine through to cocktails and long drinks. read more
