Vinile

Southern Rome


On weekends a mixed bag of Romans hits the dance floor at Vinyl, a buzzing bar and club cooking up food, music and party happenings on the Via Giuseppe Libetta strip. Inside its cavernous interior – with part-vegetal, part-frescoed ceiling – the night starts with an aperitivo banquet from 8pm; DJ sets start at 11.30pm. On Sunday students pile in for the unbeatable-value brunch.
