Doug the Head: Slow down, Franky, my son. When in Rome... Franky Four Fingers: I am not in Rome, Doug. I am in a rush.
That about says it all about nightlife in Rome. Ok, maybe not, but it's such a choice quote from Snatch it deserves to be mentioned any time Rome's the topic of discussion! Roman nightlife is varied, fun and dynamic. Perhaps more relaxed than you'd find in Milan or Firenze. There are always loads of people gathered for drinks and sing alongs at the ancient ruins and fountains which are strewn about the city. It sometimes feels like a hippie enclave, or a mini Christiana. Nights start late in Rome, like elsewhere in the southern Med, and go on till early in the morning.

Irish pubs are also popular with Italians and expats. The biggest concentration of nightclubs lies in the Testaccio and Ostiense districts. One of the main drags in Testaccio, Via di Monte Testaccio, is lined with bars, pubs, live music venues and clubs, so it's a good place to head if you want to stay out late. It has spread over to neighboring, formerly industrial, Ostiense, which has some hip new bars and so-called ristodisco, places where you can both eat and dance. While Rome's hardly the gay capital of Europe, there's a small gay scene, with some saunas and clubs, and many nightclubs have weekly gay nights.
The legal drinking age is 16. Just thought it's worth mentioning for you youngens! :-)
