La Punta is the Trastevere agaveria from the Jerry Thomas Project team, with one of Italy's deepest tequila and mezcal back bars paired with a tight Mexican-inspired food menu, and a tucked-in feel that reads more speakeasy than bar.
TipSmall room, no street signage, reservations advised on weekends. Ask the bartender to walk you through the agave list; the back bar is the whole point.
Freni e Frizioni has run a Trastevere ex-garage at Via del Politeama since 2007, with a small inside room, an aperitivo buffet from 19:00 and the river-side piazza outside that fills with a young Roman crowd well past midnight.
TipSix euro cocktails through aperitivo include the vegetarian buffet, the cheapest way to drink in Trastevere. The piazza in front is the room past 22:00.
Coming Out opened in 2001 across the street from the Colosseum and anchors the Via di San Giovanni in Laterano gay strip, with a cafe-bar that runs from morning coffee through late-night karaoke and drag programming that fills the small dance floor on weekends.
TipAlmost never closes, with a 07:00-05:30 daily cycle that makes it the regular after-hours on the strip. Drag on Sundays and occasional Wednesdays.
L'Alibi opened on the slopes of Monte Testaccio at the end of the 1970s and is Italy's longest-running gay club, with three rooms, a rooftop terrace and a programme that swings between drag, house and commercial nights through the weekend.
TipThe terrace runs through the warm months and is the reason to come; the inside rooms can be hot and packed past 02:00. Tessera at the door.
My Bar shares the Via di San Giovanni in Laterano gay strip with Coming Out, with sidewalk seating across from the Colosseum, a small inside dance floor and a resident DJ rotating commercial house alongside karaoke and go-go nights.
TipThe terrace tables are the seats to get if you want the Colosseum sightline; the inside dance floor is small and fills after midnight on weekends.
33 Giri opened in Borgo Pio with a chosen library of 2,500 vinyl records, a turntable pair and a precision sound system tuned by local audiophiles, programmed by DJ and producer Carlo Scordo with sisters Andrea, Michela and Federica Mercuri running the floor.
TipReservation required via [email protected]; the room is small and books a single seating per evening. The wine list leans toward small natural producers.
