Where to drink craft beer in Rome? My favorite bars

Italy is famous for its wines, but almost all of our tourists are very surprised when they find out that more than 8 thousand varieties of craft beer are produced in the country.

Craft, aka craft brewery, is when beer is produced not on an industrial scale, but in small batches. This movement originated in the United States about 40 years ago and the last decade has been actively conquering Europe.

For example, according to the website of the Italian association of brewers www.microbirrifici.org for 2019, 1,635 private breweries are registered that produce 8561 types of beer. Impressive?

In my experience, more and more young Italians are those who, up to 40-45 years old, prefer a glass of quality craft than wine. The older generation is more conservative and is still vacillating.

In any case, we will leave the “Italian beer” Peroni and Birra Moreti, known in the world, to local drunks, and today we read about my favorite beer bars in Rome:

Johnny's Off License Campo de 'Fiori

My friends and I discovered the Johnny's Off License beer store recently, literally in May 2019. And immediately I put it in first place in the ranking for a huge selection - more than 100 beers, prices, comfort and a friendly atmosphere. It is literally a minute's walk from Campo de 'Fiori. The format of the establishment is a store, with the possibility of drinking inside.

The cost of a bottle or craft can starts from 4 euros, an average of 5-6 euros, but there are unique, expensive items for 20-30 euros. The host Enrico is very friendly, speaks English and Italian. You can safely convey greetings from Arthur, I have already spent there three excellent evenings and he should have remembered me.

Address: Via dei Balestrari, 9
Open: approximately 12:00 to 22:00, Friday and Saturday until 23:00

Ma Che Siete Venuti A Fà

Ma Che Siete Venuti A Fà - in soft form, the name translates "what X you pinned." A cult place, one of the first Kraft bars Trastevere opened more than 20 years ago. If you want to see how local evenings are spent, here you are. Usually everyone is standing, sitting on the street by the bar with glasses, talking, but you can also sit inside in one of the three halls. There are TVs, you can watch a football match with the fans. The selection of beer is small, about 10 varieties, but the quality is top notch.

Address:Via Benedetta, 25
Open: approximately from lunch until 02:00 a.m.

Luppolo station

Luppolo Station is an ideal bar when you don’t feel like dispersing and need to chat with friends in a relaxed atmosphere. It works until 2 nights, serves very good burgers and snacks, a friendly bartender and waiters. You can always consult, even in sign language, if you do not know Italian, beer combines. The only minus for most tourists is that the bar is far from the center and on the outskirts of Trastevere, but near the Roma Trastevere station and the 8th tram stop, it takes about 15 minutes to get from Piazza Venezia.

I advise you to try the Campagniolo burger for 13 euros.

Open: from 12:00 to 02:00.

Bir & fud

In Bir & Fud, in addition to more than 30 varieties of draft craft beer, you can eat deliciously. Although this is not a specialized pizzeria, pizza is excellent here. Try Margherita Doppia for 12 euros - this is a classic Margarita pizza with a double portion of Mozzarella di Buffalo cheese, and then write in the comments how it compares to you, for example, with pizza in Dar Poeta.

I recommend sitting at the bar - so the service will be much faster plus more immersed in the atmosphere of the place.

Address:Via Benedetta, 23 - opposite Ma Che Siete
Open: approximately from lunch until 02:00 a.m.

Open baladin

Every Roman knows the legendary Open Baladin bar. A huge selection of beer, food and service are average, but it’s definitely worth a go for a glass or two.

Official site: www.openbaladinroma.it
Address: Via degli Specchi, 6
Open: from 12:00 to 2 nights, service ends at 01:15.

If you want to know more tasty places, interesting facts, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Eternal City, then I invite you to our original tours of the Trastevere district.

German sketches. Part IX (story of Alexei)

Marburg is fascinating. It seems: here the rooster will sing at the city hall, heralding the beginning of the performance of stray comedians; to the ringing of bells and singing of prayers, a procession of barefoot Franciscan monks will set off through the streets; and a cavalcade of knights will leave the castle gates to the sound of fanfare to fight the dragon.

Bode Museum

The Bode Museum is visited less frequently than other museums. And this is good. Not crowded here. You are practically alone with antiquity, art and architecture. There are no "hit" exhibits, but there is an excellent collection of medieval "naive" and wooden German Gothic. A beautiful collection of bronze figurines - plastic, “verbose" and bewitching.
