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.
Mazzo reopened in San Lorenzo in 2023 as the second act of Francesca Barreca and Marco Baccanelli's Centocelle original, a listening trattoria with sound-absorbing panels, a wide vinyl rotation and a separate vineria bar that opens an hour before the dining room.
TipThe vineria opens at 18:00 with half plates and bar snacks, no reservation needed; the main room takes one seating per evening with bookings via the site. Wine list is short and natural-leaning.
Frisson moved to a Pigneto address in December 2025 for its fourth anniversary, running an all-day room that starts with bakery coffee, evolves into an aperitivo and turns into a listening bar after 19:00 with a selected DJ station, vinyl wall and a private courtyard.
TipDay-time bakery and coffee, evening aperitivo with chef Leopoldo Di Martino's small plates, then the listening room. The courtyard is the seat in summer.
Blackmarket Hall runs a multi-level Monti room dressed like the lobby of an early-1900s grand hotel, with bar manager Simone Scapigliati's signature cocktail programme paired with live jazz, soul and R&B nights spread across the week.
TipVintage leather sofas, low lounge tables; the room fills by 22:00 on weekends so book ahead. Live sets typically run Thursday through Saturday.
Bar San Calisto has run on a Trastevere square a corner from Piazza Santa Maria since 1969, with prices stuck in another decade, scuffed tables spilling into the piazza and a regular crowd of locals, students and old-timers that holds the room past midnight.
TipPay at the cash register first then redeem the receipt at the bar. The piazza tables are the seats to get; arrive before 22:00 on weekends.
