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.
Some gay bars, partys and clubs in Rome require a membership card. Often that is the ARCO (Anddos) card. If you don't have an ARCO card yet, you can usually acquire it (5-17 €) at the entrance of the venues that require the card. When you acquire the card you need to show your photo ID, after that you only need the membership card.
