Gay Bars in Rome

Maybe you wonder why this list of gay bars in Rome is so short. One reason is that pure bars just for drinking and socializing are less common in Italy. When Italians meet their friends, for instance, eating together plays a more important role.
If they go out to the gay scene later on, it's rather to the parties or cruise clubs.

Important note: Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, some places might be closed or opening hours may have changed. Please check the websites and Facebook pages of the respective venues for the latest information.
