23 Best Bars in Rome

"Sacripante is an art gallery, good and proper, the grey stone walls hung with a rotating roster of surrealist pop art. But duck under the oak-beam ceilings and follow the polished cement floors through this former convent in Monti, and you’ll be rewarded with a cocktail bar resembling an old-fashioned apothecary den, replete with potion bottles, medicine cabinets, and crystal-glass measuring cups. Drinks are served in vintage glasses, with a wedge of pomegranate, melon, or pineapple on the side, and aperitivo hour, which kicks in at 6 p.m., heralds the arrival of fancy (and free) snacks like Venetian smoked salmon with your drinks." - Maresa Manara
