It was a about 15 euros to get in but as most clubs in Rome do, it covered a drink which was nice. I would say the place didn't get packed until about 12:45am/1am, which is fine because it doesn't open until 12am anyways. The music was so live and not techno which was good, if you want some rap/hiphop/twerk music, Thursday nights is your time to shine here at Akab...and don't miss the dancers....P.S. they smoke inside so expect to go home smelling like an ashtray.

We stopped in here one night while visiting Rome. It's a bit hard to find, but worth the stop…read more There was a cover charge (10-15 Euros, can't remember). From the entrance you walk down a staircase lined with posters for various cover bands like Bob Dylan and the Beatles. The space downstairs is large but broken into 4 or 5 rooms. The night we were in an Italian blues band was playing and it seemed like everyone seated had gotten there early enough for spots. It's hard to see the band from the side rooms so we stood in front of the bar. This place got packed and if we had moved we would have definitely lost our spot. Drinks are on the pricey side and it got super hot with all the people but this was a great time. Everyone was having lots of fun and it gives you a glimpse into an underground Italian live music venue!

This place is absolutely fantastic. After paying a one time cover charge that is good for a year,…read moreyou can savor the music! I have been there for Beatles v. Stones cover band night, Jimi Hendrix cover night, and others. I would highly suggest a visit to this underground spot. A word to the wise, if you want a place to sit/a table, arrive early. This is one of highlights of the time I lived in Rome. (The drinks are band-themed and tasty. They can be a bit pricy, but the general vibe and experience of the place makes it all worth it.) Enjoy your time there (and your time in the eternal city)!

Very cool cocktail bar that tries to be a "speakeasy" but doesn't quite reach that level of…read moresecrecy. We wandered in here before dinner in the Trastevere area of Rome looking for a high end cocktail. This place does not disappoint. The decor reminds me of Mardi Gras meets Prohibition... the cocktail menu is unique and the mixologist is simply outstanding. You do need to fill out a slip to "become a member" before they offer you a drink and take your order. While it looks a bit mysterious from the street, this sophisticated tiny cocktail bar is quite something. Definitely a nice place to sip on an elegant mixed adult beverage.

The only thing you need to do once you find the red door, is ring their doorbell and someone will come out and help you. They are a very small bar, so if you have a large party of 4+, I would suggest to make a reservation ahead of time. Their decoration is a mix of Alice in Wonderland with Italian hipster vibe. Everything feels super cool and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The cocktails are delicious and the bartender's english is pretty good, so if you are looking for recommendations he can help you. Another thing that I really like about this place is that people don't smoke inside. There are other speakeasies around town that allow smoking, and I honestly can't be there more than 1 hour. Salute!

First of all - the entire area of Trastevere if simply fantastic. I brought my family of 5 from…read morethe USA to Rome and I am so glad we stayed in this part of Rome. On our first night here we ate at one of the many italian spots in the neighborhood. I liked it but my picky 21 year old son didn't. The next night I got lost and then saw the name Sloppy Sam's and figured it had more of a tourist type menu. As it turned out it didn't - but it didn't matter. We were eating early (before 7) and we got an outside table. My daughter ordered what she thought was a vegetarian dish - but it wasn't - she switched with my wife. They both enjoyed their meal, but not as much as my other daughter and me. We both ordered lasagne and it was - by far - the best I had ever had. My picky son ordered some sort of salad that he enjoyed very much. The service was fantastic - the beers on tap were tasty and sitting outside and seeing my family enjoy such a different environment was priceless to me. Thanks Sloppy Sam's.

Everyone…read moreseemed really REALLY relaxed and chilled out, I was wearing cut-off shorts and a crop top but still felt at place. They had a nice little outdoor space, and some dope vendors. This guy had homemade painted gages, grinders, and little knick-knacks that were gorgeous! Even though from the outside it looks pretty small (we had walked past it numerous times without even noticing it was there), it's got two dance floors inside and the space feels pretty open. For me at least, I liked the fact it seemed to be full of people who frequented it on a regular basis rather than just the drunk study abroad's I was usually around. You had to purchase that membership card to go in there, so I'm sure that was part of it. The decorations were also ah-maz-ing. A few of the Italian reviews I read said the place was bland, but I think they've changed the ambience since then (actually, I think there is an artist that creates the designs). The walls have been splattered with color, and there are drapes along the ceilings in different patterns. Most venues I am used to are all about flashing lights and being very "in your face" with decor, but something about the decorations at Big Bang is a little more calm and beautiful. Everything really flows with each other visually. Overall, I really enjoyed my night there. It highly depends on the night and the music, but I definitely suggest checking it out.
