Jerry Thomas Bar Room

Amazing place for a great cocktail. Everything was exquisite from beginning to end. It is a very small, intimate place, so be sure to make reservations. Drinks were phenomenal. Be sure to try the dirty martini, which is purple because they use black olives, which I’ve never seen. Staff were also super friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

What can I say about this place? We walked in without a reservation, and the waiter informed us that we could stay for half an hour if we wanted. We accepted. Later on, I insisted on paying and leaving since we had already stayed longer than 30 minutes, but they told us we could stay a bit longer as the next table was running late. We ordered two cocktails: the Parker 75 and a dry martini (though I regret not trying their house signature version). Both were well executed—the Parker 75 was outstanding with sweet, aromatic notes, yet incredibly balanced. The bar was cozy, and the music was perfect (as a musician, I always pay close attention to that). But more than anything, I loved the people who worked there. I wish I had more days in Rome so I could go back again. Last but not least, they offered us some vermouth to try, on the house. Thank you for your kindness and professionalism. Until we meet again.

Atmosphere: 9/10 Located in Trastevere, Jerry Thomas Bar Room is designed like an old, upscale train carriage—dark wood, plush details, and a layout with only table seating (no backbar). The atmosphere is stunning and fully immersive. Music—old school jazz, blues, funk, and classics—plays at exactly the right volume and ties the theme together. Reservations are highly recommended given the limited seating. Drinks: 8.5/10 Recommendation: Consulate The menu is classy but simple, with a relatively small selection. Cocktails are tasty and ingredients well balanced. High-quality glassware, nice coasters, and clean presentation. Garnish work is kept basic but fits the style. Service: 9/10 Water served on arrival. Staff is professional, very friendly, and consistent throughout the evening. Reservations are needed due to space. Prices are above average for Rome.

We were lucky enough to experience the excellent professional dynamic between Ramon and Franco, who not only crafted amazing cocktails for us, but gave us great recommendations for the remainder of our stay. We were in Rome celebrating my boyfriend and his mother’s birthdays, and we can all agree that this place was a major highlight of our stay. Highly recommend; thank you again, Ramon and Franco for your impeccable hospitality!

Overall, great cocktail bar. It’s a small, cozy bar, with absolutely delicious, well-balanced drinks, and top-notch service. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone who appreciates a well-crafted cocktail and a chill vibe.

Fantástico! Jerry Thomas’s Bar Room was truly an unforgettable experience. From the classic speakeasy entrance, to the exceptional drinks and service, perfecto! We failed to get the gentleman’s name but he and Francesca were incredibly knowledgeable and personable. We thought we knew a lot about how to make many different types of drinks but upon tasting everything we ordered, we realized we don’t know much. (For example, I ordered their Dirty Martini, and we couldn’t even taste the alcohol…(?). The service was impeccable yet wonderfully down to earth. Francesca made a genuine effort to get to know her guests, which made the experience feel especially warm and welcoming! Thank you Francesca! (And your recommendations for food were awesome)!

Located in the heart of Trastevere, this quirky little cocktail bar enchants with its atmosphere, service, and selection of cocktails and music. We enjoyed our cocktails with burrata in the train carriage and had a wonderful evening.

This place is top notch. Service friendly and prompt, drinks are exquisite, and the atmosphere is perfection for what they are going for. Special mention to the cocktail making station that really showcases the bartenders' abilities. A must visit in Rome. Also it's very well air-conditioned which is great.
