23 Best Bars in Rome
"A rotating scheme of art on the walls; living-room-worthy chairs; racked magazines and vinyl records; best of all, beautiful hand-muddled cocktails—this hole-in-the-wall bar across from Hadrian's Temple checks many boxes. Settle into those plush chairs and let the cool soundtrack own you. Or better still, linger out front on the Piazza di Petra, where the temple's columns loom spectacularly at night. The bartenders are good; trust them to magic up even the most complicated cocktail. Drinks of choice include the Gin Mule, with its lashings of ginger and mint; and the Basil, which is made with vodka, strawberries, chili, and—you guessed it— basil." - Maresa Manara
