Time Out says

What’s the vibe?

A cocktail bar inside a former mechanic’s shop that manages to tread the impossible line between high and low. Expertly mixed drinks are the main draw, but people watching with a spritz in hand on the massive outdoor terrace is a close second. Open until 2am.  

What are the prices like?

Cocktails are around €10, and there’s an unlimited aperitivo buffet for €12 between 6.30 and 9pm every day. 

What should I order?

Classic cocktails, be it a mojito or a spritz, are always reliable here, but the regularly updated signature drink list is never disappointing and includes offerings like Cardinal Sin, made with Buskers Irish whiskey, amaretto, and saffron.

What’s worth visiting nearby?

Nearby Piazza Trilussa is a nightly gathering spot for young Romans who regroup on the steps at one end of the square, listening to street musicians and waiting for friends. Grab a late-night pizza-pocket panini from Trapizzino and then join the impromptu dance party that usually develops, or walk across the Ponte Sisto bridge to check out Campo de’ Fiori.
