Best bars in Rome

Drink Kong brings neon-lit futurism and a mood-led menu to Rome's Monti, and has made the World's 50 Best Bars every year since 2021. In Trastevere, Freni e Frizioni pairs Roman aperitivo with ambitious cocktails in a former mechanic's workshop, and the tiny Jerry Thomas Bar Room pours Champagne and cocktails behind a discreet entrance. For aperitivo with grand-hotel poise, Stravinskij Bar fills the garden courtyard of the Hotel de Russie.
