BEST BEER IN ROMA- not sure why they don't have as many people as they should !…read more I can assure you they have the best selection of craft beers - we come from San Diego/Tijuana craft brewery scene and as much as we love wine , we were missing some good beer. But we found it ! Alessandro was super nice to let us have 2 there and two to go haha since he was closing up. It's a little hidden from the main Trastevere walk but I hope more people notice it !

We went ahead and ordered off that menu, although you can get regular 'pub' food too. Sat for a few hours enjoying a bottle of bubbles. Ate lunch and hung out. It got super busy around 1pm with what seemed to be locals believe it or not! Irish pub for lunch? Worth a stop in as not as touristy as other places.

We came here after a large dinner to have Irish beer and enjoy an Irish pub atmosphere in Rome…read more The decor had plenty of Guinness signs and flags. The name is probably after an Irish folk ballad by Tommy Makem. We sat at the bar, as we only wanted drinks. On a Friday at 11 or 11:30 it was busy but not packed. The bartender was nice enough, but they did not know what a BLACK VELVET was! (Guinness and cider) They knew how to pour Guinness (in 2 parts) but the only cider they had was bottled, which is typical, but they looked at us as if we were nuts when we explained that Guinness is sometimes mixed with other beers/liquids to form new drinks. They need a bilingual mixologist in there if they want to attract Americans (but who said they were?) The atmosphere was upbeat, the bartenders were civil but not 'friendly' in the way I'm used to in a pub, but it was fine, I'd go back for lunch/dinner.

Food was pretty good. Ribs were a small portion but fall off the bone tender. Burger was good, but…read morenothing to write home about. The steak was good. I ordered it medium rare and the middle was definitely rare. This was unique for an American. Normally a medium rare steak in America doesn't come out like this... but it was good. Only 2 stars because the entire staff seemed rude, like they were annoyed by our presence. For clarity, we are a soft spoken American family just looking for dinner. I understand if we were loud or obnoxious but we weren't. The waitress seemingly was wrapped in fine grit sand paper. Coming to take our order she was very short and just had an attitude. She never once came back. I went out of my way to eventually get here attention for the bill. Once I did she never came back for it. I ultimately went to the bar to cash out and the bartender was equally annoyed with us. Yes, I understand it's Europe and restaurant etiquette is different, wait staff don't come around as often and Europeans tend to sit around the table a little longer. This wasn't that. Every member of my party of 4 felt it. Maybe others will have a better experience, but for our visit, multiple staff members were just unfriendly and cold or rude.

We were very impressed with the amount of food we received, the atmosphere, and kindness from our waitress. Unfortunately, we also found out there that we had been given fake money earlier in the day when we went to pay and the owner let us know that we had a fake. He was very kind about it and showed us how to recognize fake euros. Lesson learned. We had a wonderful time and we definitely will go back! (Promise to check our money next time!)

The Last Supper. (eurotrip style)…read more My very last meal in Europe. This is a small bar/lounge on the side of the market that is popped up during the day but of course me and my friend are eating near midnight because we are still on Vegas time. This was one of the closest places to us that had an open kitchen. They invited us in for drinks and a great time. I ordered a ginger ale because I wasn't feeling well and my friend ordered some Coke. We took a look a quick look at the menu and my friend decided to order a pizza. She meant to say just cheese but instead order a 4 cheese pizza with no sauce. I took one bite and noticed 1 of the 4 cheeses taste very weird. I then ate only the crust. The best part of this place was the people.They employees were dancing around and having fun. They were really relaxed and just hanging around with the locals. Again the place is a lounge. They had music inside, EDM (which I was very pleased with) and they had girls dancing and some of the employee couldn't help but stare. These girls were in tight small shorts and then the fun began. One employee took the girls attention while the other took a picture of her butt. Usually i would be mad and angry but it was really funny and the guy saw me see him and they showed me the picture, it was blurry and dark but he then proceeded to hit on me and my friend. Hilarious way to end my trip.

After exploring Rome, we were looking for somewhere to relax a bit and enjoy an adult beverage or…read moretwo. Open Baladin was on my list of the most popular bars in Rome on Yelp (in terms of number of reviews) and it was close to where we were at, so we made out way in the afternoon on a Friday. Ambiance (4/5): Open Baladin looks a lot different than your typical Roman establishment. Bright colors, quirky decor, and a beautiful bar area are some of the highlights here. We sat at a table as we wanted to avoid the bar stools (no back support so I've never been a fan). Service (3/5): Typical Italian service. Not terribly attentive or friendly but gets the job done. We had to track down our waiter once or twice to order a beer and close out but that's standard fare in Europe. Food (3/5): My partner in crime had a burger while I had a sandwich with proscuitto and cheese. Pretty much your typical Italian sandwich. Fresh and adequate. Though a bit overpriced. Drinks (4.5/5): This is the highlight. Open Baladin has a fantastic selection of beers including those that I would qualify outside of your typical run-of-the-mill. They have a Belgian beer section of the menu which is always an indication that a bar takes their beer seriously. And most interestingly, for me, they have grape beer . . . say what?! I had never heard of it either. Beer made with grapes, that's a first. While it's not something I would order often, I very much enjoyed trying something new and unique like this. And here I thought grapes were just used to make wine! If you're looking for a cool spot to grab a brew, with a fantastic beer list, and a different vibe than your typical Italian bar, make sure to check them out!

That being said, he wanted to try some beer bars during our time in Italy so we put a few on our agenda to check out. Open Baladin was one of these spots, and since we had some time before our dinner reservation we stopped here for some beer. Walking in, I was really impressed with the space - it's large with a combination of high tops and tables throughout the dining area. The back wall housed the bar which had bottles stacked up to the ceilings - this made for a really striking focal point. The color scheme was mostly dark woods and warm colors which fit well for being a beer bar. The menu had a large selection of beer, I decided to go with one of their holiday varieties which was quite good. They had a small food selection, and I specifically noticed they had a variety of homemade chips. These seemed like the ideal snack so I ordered some of their original variety which came with homemade ketchup. These were great - not greasy and the ketchup really made it something special. Service was good, everyone was friendly and overall we had a great experience at Open Baladin. Even if you're not the biggest beer drinker, there's enough variety to find something for most people, and the food shouldn't be overlooked.
