All right, if you've looked at the photos, you can clearly tell that this is an "American-tourist" themed bar. While most people (including myself) are definitely not traveling to Rome in order to eat not-so-great American food, the vibe is actually pretty good for a pint of beer and grabbing a sandwich from a neighboring spot. We sat there and had a few pints while watching a Roma futbol match with some locals, which proved to be a fun time. They had plenty of outdoor seating and heaters, which was a nice touch in December. The four-stars is for the beer selection and ability to hang out and watch matches. NOTE: There is no rating here for food, and you can definitely find cheaper drinks elsewhere. read more

The Drunken Ship - Fish and chips - Pubs Near Me - Rome, RM

This was a great dive bar to start the night at with cheap drinks and shots! Glad it was on the itinerary

Food: 2 Stars Service: 4 Stars We had just arrived in Rome and had about an hour until we were to meet our AirBnB host next door. Seeing as we had our luggage and time to kill, we decided to go next door to grab a drink and a snack. We were immediately greeted by the most bubbly hostess as she flashed us a smile and quickly took our drink orders. Service was quick but drinks were mediocre and fries were soggy. The lone restroom in the back was atrocious (ladies, beware!). read more

So glad this place is still open. Great place for expats. I was worried the pandemic might have made it too hard to stay open. Thankfully-- still open. That Contiki Tour was unforgettable. Used to be a dive bar without food, but looks like it's hipster now with a menu. Still one of my favorite places. So many great memories. Grazie to The Drunken Ship! read more

A very American bar in a young part of the city. A lot of American students go out here at night. It's really fun and has a great atmosphere. They have games, great drinks, and yummy bar food. The bartenders are great and from all around the world. They're so fun to talk to and they're quick about getting drinks out. read more

The Drunken Ship - Bar - Pubs Near Me - Rome, RM

Decent spot for a drink, but I wouldn't hang out here all night long lol. Crowd can get a little annoying. But the staff is pretty friendly and it's a nice spot to grab a shot or two before you head back out to keep exploring Rome. read more

Staff was nice and doing their best with what they have access to. However, don't bother stopping if you are looking for a meal. Everything is cooked in a microwave and an air fryer. Meals came out staggered, and after 1 and 45 minutes we had to leave to meet our group- with several meals in hand- fresh from the microwave. read more

Warning, do not eat here. Good beer, fun vibes. But just don't come here for food in Rome. If I was in the USA and received a burger and fish and chips as god awful as what we received, I would have sent it back. Trash. If it wasn't for our awesome server Cameron, the night would have been a bust. read more

Feeling homesick while traveling or living in Italy? Haven't caught a glimpse of douchey-frat guys playing beer pong lately? Have a craving for an umbrella drink? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then head on down to the Drunken Ship. In case you couldn't tell by the name alone, the Drunken Ship isn't not your typical Italian bar...it's a place that serves up American cocktails, and low and behold, it also has a beer pong table (which is coincidently surrounded by American frat guys traveling abroad). This place is an interesting mix of people. You've got your Americans as well as Europeans (including Italians) from all over trying to see what the American party scene is like. This place gets incredibly crowded - especially on weekend nights - and they have lots of drink specials, including 2-for-1 drinks. Leaving this place stumbling drunk after lots of people have bought you drinks? Have no fear! 1,000 taxis are parked right outside ready to take you home or back to your hotel. This place is okay if you're severely homesick, but if you're looking for something classier, then I say skip it - you're not absorbing Italian culture here...that's for sure. It's located in the Campo de'Fiori on a corner. read more

Kind of stumbled upon this place while walking around during our days in Rome. Funny, but most stumble out, not into a place. This is certainly a mix of english speaking Americans and British for the most part. Drinks you can get back home. But for me, I came here for Italian and so we just had a drink and kept moving to the next discovery. If your here extended time, this may be a nice break for you read more

This bar was about what could be expected. We wandered in after hearing some fun music and wanting a drink before going back to the hotel. The sexual innuendos and signs with phallic jokes could make any feminist cringe. The bathroom had no toilet paper, despite it being anything but busy. But, beer is beer and it gave us a place to rest our tired feet. read more

Didn't let me through for no reason. The bouncer had the biggest napoleon complex of all time I waited 20 minutes which was no problem. Someone walked past me to get through and I let them and moved out of the way and when I went to stand back in my original spot the bouncer got pissed for no reason and didn't let me through. Also they underserve drinks like a mfer. read more

It's great if you love crowds thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. Obviously a bar for study abroad students, there are American flags everywhere. Go in groups, there's always a crowd of shady men outside waiting for people to leave, sometimes they even make it inside. Prices are a little high but not significantly different than other bars in the area. They do have pong tables, but they use actual beer so expect everything to be wet and sticky. To play you'll need a pitcher which costs €15 (also... no room for movement, so you're playing elbows on this one). Probably the most popular part of the bar is the restroom, so either go before or expect a 15-20 minute wait in line. Also the bar area is insanely crowded so if someone knocks your shot over walking by don't be surprised. If all this sounds good to you then you NEED to check out drunken ship. Pros: No cover charge read more

Came here on a night after wandering around Piazza Navona and having dinner nearby. We decided that after a few glasses of not so great wine from the restaurant, we would go somewhere else for a better glass of wine. Instead, we stumbled upon The Drunken Ship. So, we decided that maybe a beer or two would suffice. After ordering our drinks, we went to find a little table, which happened to be right next to the beer pong table. At that moment, it was a team of Italian boys versus Russian boys (I think they were college kids). It was an epic battle and was quite fun to watch. Overall, this is a great place if you're in the mood for rubbing elbows with local college students on a Friday night. read more

While looking for a fun night out on a vacation to Rome, I heard of the Drunken Ship and decided to give it a try. Definite mistake. Don't be deceived by stories of great dancing and drink, it amounts to a sad collection of washed up Americans acting like they're at a high school house party. I'm an American myself, who loves a good frat party, but this was just embarrassing. I think the one and only Italian bartender's consistent facial expression sums it up, disgusted. read more

Actually the worst bar I have ever been to. They never gave me my card back and refused to eVen look for it. All they said over and over is we don't have it I said you didn't even look and they continued to say we don't have it without even looking. Everyone (9 people) in my group said they didn't give it back and now I i have to wait 2 months since I'm studying abroad. read more

If you took a beer pong table straight out of an American frat party, some sleezy European DJ's, and a bunch of wild study abroad kids then stuffed them into a closed area in one of the most tourist filled squares in Rome, you'd get the Drunken Ship. So, how do I even put this? It's another one of those places I get dragged to and kind of wonder why I'm there the whole time, questioning whether I should even being enjoying it. It's one of those places you go to pregame before clubbing but also can very likely end up stuck there until way too late in the night wondering where the past few hours went. It's one of those places you stumble to when there is nothing else to do but you're not drunk or sober enough to want to go home yet. One thing is for sure, if you want some unique drunken conversations with people from random countries around the world, you can find them here. read more

If you're looking to run into Americans, this is the place to go. 20 Euros for a huge pitcher of sex on the beach!! and 3 euro tequila shots!! After consumption, walk down the street to Mood for great house music, and a place to dance! read more

Went on a family vacation and we came a cross from this place during the day. We had nachos and drinks super delicious. Later in the night we decided to go back there felt like home. They played good music and people were so friendly. We had an awesome waiter as well. We will be back soon! read more

Perfect spot for an afternoon drink and to rest your feet. Staff is major friendly.

If you're looking for drunken Americans or Englishmen playing beer pong, this is the place for you! Because there's plenty of them here! In fact I'm pretty sure I didn't hear any Italian there. They have specials for international students. I got myself a pint of Moretti for 4.50 euros and hung out for a bit. It was a getting a bit crowded as it got later, mostly around the beer pong table. They serve up American cocktails and beer. read more

The staff here is soooo amazing and friendly! That is the only reason me and my friend went back more than once (plus we were staying right next door). They have decent bar food and good beer/drink selection but the one thing that was annoying (besides the ONE disgusting bathroom stall in the whole place) was the music lol. The owner was in there playing non dive bar music like Whitney Houston's "I will always love you" and really lame music like that which was a complete buzz kill. And he was there most of the time which was annoying lol getting in our pictures and saying "I'm the owner" when we were like ??? Lol. Besides that it was a good time. Go here if u like to play beer pong read more

This hidden away bar in rome is very popular with the american exchange sutdents at the university of rome. so if your craving someone to talk to you in english, why not try here the lay is one big room with a small bar. however, the cool thing is that theres a window off the bar that opens up on to the street. This allows for less cramped time at the bar, as you are able to order a drink from outside, like a walk through bar....whatever next read more

Great beer prices and decent beer selection. However, after 10 pm it gives a American club vibe if you're into that, hip hop music and top 40 if that's what you're looking for. Restroom situation is bad, one room for both genders, prepare to wait. read more

Loved this place in Rome! Was super excited to play beer pong while I was studying abroad. Don't remember what the drinks costed, but do remember having a lot of them. I also remember the bathroom being a little touch and go---by that I mean don't touch anything, just go and hope you don't catch anything penicillin won't cure. read more

We sought this place out for a chance at some College Football on TV, and some beers. The host quickly searched to find a way to broadcast our requested game and we settled in to enjoy the game. We likely would have stayed for the whole game and continued to drink and eat dinner as well, but the music kept getting louder and became unbearable. Sadly, we departed at half time due to the volume level. Service was excellent, bar stools fairly uncomfortable with no option other than a high top table, but their eagerness to accommodate our American-ness and cold beer earned them the 4th star. read more

Terrible. We came here for drinks and those werent even made right. Mind you, we're from the US so we shouldn't have come here, being in Italy and all- but we did. And we hope you wont make the same mistake. Ordered a Manhattan and a long beach iced tea. The tea was just shaken cranberry juice, and the manhattan was pure sweet vermouth.... sooo bad. So save yourself the terrible time and go somewhere, ANYWHERE else. Unless you're planning on getting a beer, then that might work out for you. Or if you want that trashy american dive bar food and drink... then this place is for you! Cheers! read more

Arrived early enough to grab a table outside while watching a soccer match. A crowd began forming and the energy picked up. My friend and I left for a few hours and then returned. After midnight the place was packed with young people, many presumably students and tourists. It was a nice taste of home with loud music and good specials. We really enjoyed laughing and chatting amongst the crowd that spilled onto the street. read more

Way too crowed full of American college students, it was too packed to even get a drink.

If you need to watch Sunday football with a bunch of Americans, this is your spot

really fun place!! i am studying here and was nice to have an american meal, they gave us a round of free shots too!! will definitely come back. read more

Came here with 20 college students. Luckily, we ended the night with 19 so that's a good sign. The fact that the place itself has an American name should be a red flag to you. Speaking of which, there's a giant American flag inside of the bar. When you get in, which may be hard cuz there's a bouncer some nights that only speaks English, you may be hearing the frat stars from their "exclusive" east coast frats in their Lacoste and Vineyard Vine shirts chanting "USA, USA!" If this still isn't a sign, try making your way to the back to play the Italian native drinking game, "beer pong." Also the best way to get free drinks here is having boobs and a butt. Chances are, they will let you go behind the counter to play some local music like, "I took a pill in Ibiza" or any song by Drake. The good news is shots are only €3 and pitchers of god awful beer are around €12. Doesn't get anymore American than that. If you're looking to kiss a drunk American girl or get extra traction with your shoes from the sticky beer/dry throw up on the ground, this is definitely the place for you. read more

Overrun by Americans so it hardly feels like Rome...I can only listen to the words awesome and like so many times...terrible!

The best bar to hang out in! The staff is so friendly and welcomes all American students studying in Rome! It became our hangout spot! A friend had recommended it to me so we gave it a try and actually became friends with the staff! So fun! Would recommend to anyone! Gonna miss these guys!!! read more

Wouldn't let me DJ when I have fire tunes. Loved the bar the first night but the second night everything changed. I have good edm on my phone and wanted to help my new friends out but I found out shortly that they "didn't need any help". The music continues to play with sub par pit bull and old Katy perry so it brought down the mood so bad we had to leave. Stumbled upon scholars and had a great time with even better drinks. Cheers! Ciao for now :) read more

If you don't mind a bunch of loud 18-25 year old Americans, then this is the place for you. It reminded me of a college frat party but with better music. As a group of loud Americans, my friends and I had fun and they had some good drink deals but if you're looking for somewhere more "Italian" then you might want to find somewhere else. read more
