    We stopped in here one night while visiting Rome. It's a bit hard to find, but worth the stop…read more There was a cover charge (10-15 Euros, can't remember). From the entrance you walk down a staircase lined with posters for various cover bands like Bob Dylan and the Beatles. The space downstairs is large but broken into 4 or 5 rooms. The night we were in an Italian blues band was playing and it seemed like everyone seated had gotten there early enough for spots. It's hard to see the band from the side rooms so we stood in front of the bar. This place got packed and if we had moved we would have definitely lost our spot. Drinks are on the pricey side and it got super hot with all the people but this was a great time. Everyone was having lots of fun and it gives you a glimpse into an underground Italian live music venue!

    This place is absolutely fantastic. After paying a one time cover charge that is good for a year,…read moreyou can savor the music! I have been there for Beatles v. Stones cover band night, Jimi Hendrix cover night, and others. I would highly suggest a visit to this underground spot. A word to the wise, if you want a place to sit/a table, arrive early. This is one of highlights of the time I lived in Rome. (The drinks are band-themed and tasty. They can be a bit pricy, but the general vibe and experience of the place makes it all worth it.) Enjoy your time there (and your time in the eternal city)!

    Our last night in Rome and we were looking to go out with a bang. We hopped in a cab and told the…read moredriver to take us to a strip of bars near the Colosseum. Got there around 11pm and the bouncers said things don't liven up til around 2am! WTH! I'm usually asleep by then. So we wander off to a neighboring bar for some drinks and return a little later. From the outside you'd hardly think anyone was inside but boy was that an illusion. It was packed! We were there on a Thursday night and the music was primarily US hip hop. There were bboys on the dance floor and people were dancing their asses off! Personally, it was way too crowded. This is the type of place where you'll accidentally get elbowed or get a drink spilled on you. Oh and don't even think of having to go to the bathroom. There is ONE bathroom and the line was ridic....if you have to go, FYL! On a good note, the crowd was very diverse and everyone was friendly for the most part. Entry was 5 euros and it comes with one free drink.

    This is definitely a place to stop at first on your night of adventures. My friend and I showed up…read morearound 11pm to pregame a bit before checking out the other clubs in Testaccio. The bartender was very nice and got us pretty lit before we went out for the night. The drinks are VERY cheap (by American standards) and we even got hooked up with free shots. Great place to relax before going out on the town, they have couches and a really nice outdoor seating area.

You have to make a reservation, as this is a private club. How intriguing! The club opens at 9:00 PM and closes at 4:00 AM. So, we made a reservation for a Sunday evening. It is located down a dimly lit street off the Corso Vittorio Emanuele II - adding more to the intrigue. There is really no signage except on the door there is a brass plaque that says "Prof. Jerry Thomas." You ring the bell, the door is answered, you give your name and the password (Yes, there is a password to get in), and you are admitted to the club. There is a €5 per person annual membership fee. We were warmly greeted by Roberto and seated at a comfortable table. This speakeasy held about 25 people, with two bartenders mixing drinks. Euro and Roberto saw to our every need and were excellent! When my husband asked if they had rye whisky on the bar, Roberto suggested he go to the bar and look. They had probably 14 different bottles of rye, but none from Maryland. When he asked for a rye Manhattan, Roberto brought over a bottle of their "house" rye, which was made especially for them. After he mentioned that if his Manhattan was made using their house rye, the cost would be €40. My husband quickly declined and opted for a regular rye Manhattan for €15! I am not much of drinker, so they made me an Amaretto. Both were served on the rocks, except this time, each had one huge ice cube - we had never seen such large cubes before. We both thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Speakeasy and told Roberto we would be back again. It was such an interesting, fun and enjoyable concept.

    When two different people, from two different social media sites tell you to go here, you go!…read more My husband (ahh!) and I were rounding out our Italian Honeymoon when we finally made it here. At this point, we had been eating lots of pizza, pasta, and sandwiches for the last two weeks, but I guess we just couldn't stop! Thankfully, their food is a bit different from traditional Italian restaurants. It was the little break from the norm we needed to round out our culinary adventure. Let me start with the beer. Being from California, we desperately missed our beloved breweries. Not a one in sight in Italy, until Bir & Fud. Finally! A location, at last, that had a beer other than Peroni and Nastro Azzurra. We marveled at the beer list! Beers of all types from all over Italy, it was truly heaven. We settled on a Saison and an IPA, delicious. Now we get to say we had an IPA brewed in the hills of Milan! Next, we split the cod fritter to start. It was mixed with fresh fish and potato and fried to perfection, yet it remained light and wasn't greasy. We split their pizza that had a lot of roasted chilies, unfortunately I can't remember the name. It was just the right amount of spicy and rich with just slightly toasted mozzarella. I'll let you in on a little secret shame: we were full yet so in love with the atmosphere and food that we ordered another pizza. Yes, another one! We split the classic Margarita pizza. We didn't finish it, though. So I guess we aren't that gluttonous. The pizza wasn't the best, but we honestly went for the atmosphere change and beer. Moral of the story: we didn't want to leave and probably stayed way too long. But, it was the perfect way to round out a once in a life time trip.

    Bir & Fud seemed like a really great local hang-out spot…read more We stopped here after spending a couple hours in Ma Che across the street. When you walk in, you're faced with a long bar and countless taps. It reminded me of places we have at home in Philly. I found it somewhat difficult to order because they have their beers listed in chalk and spread out behind the bar. I looked at the ones closest to me and then double-checked them on Untappd before ordering. For my beer, I had the Vlaam by Birra Mastino. While it wasn't bad, it was high in acidity, which made it hard to finish such a big glass. I would've preferred the option to do a flight here, especially since they offer such a large variety and I'm not the biggest fan of getting drunk. After a bit of time at the bar, my friend and I migrated to a table in the back. It's a nice area -- very open -- so you have some space to enjoy yourself. Since we weren't exceptionally hungry, we ordered a basic pizza and split it. While I didn't find the pizza to be mesmerizing, it was pretty good. Splitting it was perfect. Service was friendly; their bathroom was clean. Overall a nice place for craft beer hunters.
