"Nice ambience, but drinks were too sweet"
We really enjoyed the ambience of the bar, and the menu was intriguing. I tried three cocktails with interesting flavor combinations, though each ended up sweeter than expected despite my request for less sweetness. Still, it was an overall enjoyable experience worth trying.
"That’s not it."
This bar is presented as something special, but in reality, it’s fairly ordinary. Soft lighting and limited street visibility are the only distinguishing features. The unsolicited password requirement felt unnecessary, and the scene didn’t live up to expectations—just regular patrons enjoying cocktails. Drinks themselves were decent, but nothing that stands out compared to other quality cocktail bars. Prices are high (€15 for a small cocktail), there was no live music, and the overall experience fell short of the “Wow” factor the bar seems to promise. Friendly staff aside, this spot ultimately failed to impress.
"Expensive"
This bar serves fantastic cocktails, with creative takes on classics like the Negroni and Old Fashioned that are truly excellent. Be prepared for high prices, though—some drinks cost up to €20—but the quality and craftsmanship make it a worthwhile experience for cocktail enthusiasts.
"Fantastic experience"
We were welcomed with warmth, professionalism, and genuine friendliness in this fantastic spot. The atmosphere is unique and relaxing, complemented by great music that perfectly sets the mood. Service was impeccable, with the staff attentive to every detail, and the high-end cocktails were crafted with obvious passion. Five stars feel barely enough for the experience we had. The prices were very fair considering the quality of service and drinks. Definitely a place we will return to many times. Grazie, Jerry Thomas!
"Bar hanging out with nieces and nephews"
This was my first visit to a bar of this style, and I was impressed. The place has a cool, cozy vibe and is clearly very popular. The drinks are solid, and the service is friendly and attentive, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a night out.
"Speakeasy TOP"
Undoubtedly the number one speakeasy in Italy! The staff are knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about their craft. Here you can enjoy historic cocktails and drinks that are rare to find elsewhere. The atmosphere feels like a private, exclusive room, making the experience truly unique.
"Not as great as it used to be but still one of the best bars in Rome"
This bar is nothing short of amazing, with world-class cocktails, a super cool staff, and fantastic speakeasy-style décor. Entry requires a password or a reservation, and yes—you can even smoke inside, which adds to the charm. That said, the popularity has attracted some less sophisticated tourists, which can detract from the overall vibe. The team exudes confidence—sometimes bordering on arrogance—and the prices are steep, though the drinks justify much of the cost. Keep in mind, it’s a late-night cocktail bar, not a full restaurant, so come for the drinks and the atmosphere.
"Anazing"
Absolutely amazing! The cocktails here are the best we’ve tried anywhere in Europe—perfectly balanced and expertly crafted. The atmosphere strikes the ideal balance: lively yet comfortable, never overwhelming. The staff are attentive, helpful, and genuinely welcoming, making the entire experience seamless. This will be the first place I recommend to anyone visiting Rome!
"Really good cocktails"
My wife and I seek out bars like this in every city we visit, and this one didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere is undeniably cool, and the cocktails are creative and worth trying. That said, the experience was slightly impacted by COVID-era adjustments, and smoking is allowed inside, which was a bit bothersome for us as non-smokers. Overall, a fun spot for cocktail lovers who appreciate unique, well-crafted drinks.
"Get dissapointed"
We had made a reservation days in advance and provided the required password, expecting a special experience—especially as it was my birthday. However, upon arrival, we noticed another couple without a reservation or password being allowed in easily and even given a better table with a larger area, while we were seated in a small spot facing a column. This felt unfair and undermined the whole reservation process. Aside from that, the cocktails were quite delicious, the interior was cozy, and the staff were professional and attentive. Prices were reasonable, too. Unfortunately, because of the disappointing treatment regarding our reservation, we don’t plan to return.
