6 editor picks in Rome.
6 dance clubs in Rome our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Rome nightlife.
Lanificio 159 occupies a 3,500 square metre former wool factory on the Aniene river in Pietralata and runs house, techno and disco nights on Fridays and Saturdays from September through May, with occasional Thursday live shows.
TipThe club sits north of the centre near the Aniene; budget for a taxi back since transit ends well before the floor does. The complex also houses a restaurant if you want to eat before the doors open.
Shari Vari Playhouse occupies a seventeenth century palazzo a short walk from the Pantheon, running daytime cafe and restaurant service that turns over to a clubby night programme of house, hip hop and commercial sets on weekends.
TipThe Friday and Saturday late slots fill with a student crowd and the dress code tightens after midnight. Reserve a table if you want guaranteed entry on a peak weekend.
Spazio Novecento occupies a thousand square metre hall inside €'s Palazzo dell'Arte Antica and runs as one of Rome's biggest weekend dance rooms, with house and commercial nights drawing a capacity of around 2,000 across two floors.
TipThe room is huge by Rome standards and the night peaks past 02:00. The € metro is the easy way in; the last train home is well before close so plan a cab.
Monk Roma reopened in 2014 in a Casal Bertone industrial yard near Tiburtina station and runs a cultural-centre format that swings between live jazz, indie gigs, stand-up sets and late-night DJ floors, with an outdoor garden that anchors the summer.
TipThe garden is the main draw from May to September; arrive by 21:00 for the live billing then stay for the DJ rooms after midnight. Tiburtina FS is a ten minute walk.
Brancaleone has run on Via Levanna in Montesacro since 1990, first as an autonomous social centre and now under the ARCI umbrella, programming techno, house and live shows alongside debates, theatre and neighbourhood events.
TipFriday and Saturday late-night DJ sets are the dance programme; weekday slots lean toward talks and live music. ARCI card required at the door.
Largo Venue sits on a recovered lot at the edge of Pigneto, mixing a mid-sized concert hall with a wide outdoor area that hosts electronic, indie rock, jazz nights and regular LGBTQ slots across a four-day weekly programme.
TipThe outdoor courtyard runs from spring through autumn and is the reason locals pick this over the smaller bars on Via del Pigneto. Check the calendar; the line-up swings hard between styles.
