Caffè Farnese

A more chic place is hard to imagine. On a corner facing elegant Piazza Farnese, some of Rome’s smartest young beautiful people sip their glasses of wine at outside tables. Yet, it’s also really friendly.
I Giganti della Notte

A newcomer to the Campo scene, but already a favourite with a young, good-looking crowd. Great outsize hi-tech decor and modern rock music inside; lots of tables and standing room outside.
La Curia di Bacco

This long, narrow space is a vaulted corridor of the ancient Pompey’s Theatre.
La Vineria

This tiny wine bar has long-time regulars lounging at the outside tables.
Mad Jack’s

A classic Irish pub offering all the brews you can imagine, especially Guinness, along with decent light snacks.
Rock Castle Café

A medieval dungeon, with tables tucked into odd nooks. Rock music in the background, plus a dance floor.
Sciam

A taste of Arabia awaits you here. A turquoise-glazed fountain splashes gently at the entrance, and inside all is inlaid wood and tiles. Teas and sweetmeats complement the dreamy music.
Shanti

An Arabian night out: hookah pipes, exotic teas, live music and belly-dancing.
Taverna del Campo

Occupying as it does the crucial corner position, this lively drinking and gourmet eating establishment is always a winner and perpetually jammed with merrymakers. Tables inside and out.
The Drunken Ship

Currently the top spot, with a sea of energetic carousers night after night in this jumping piazza. Mainstream rock inside. Outside you queue at the service window to get your drinks.
