Met up with a friend at Scholars bar to have a drink and catch up. It was my first visit so I…read morewasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised because it is a little oasis away from the pizza and pasta that fills the streets in Rome. Yes, it's Rome and what does one expect, I get it. Still, it was a nice little break. When you step in you are transported out of Rome and into an Irish pub. Music, decorations, etc are all what one might find in a corner bar that calls itself an Irish pub. No, it won't fool true Irish pub-goers, but it's a passable way to escape the Aperol and wine of most of Rome.
The bartender was nice and she took our order and told us to grab a seat and she delivered the drinks. It was about 6pm and they weren't busy and since I didn't see any other servers, it was nice that she did that.
Overall, a nice little change of pace. If you need a break from all Rome all the time, maybe consider popping in here for a pint.
