Gay bars italy

When we first visited, we were very excited to find a gay bar in Venice and spent a lot of age researching ‘gay bars Venice, Italy’.

Gay Bars in Rome

Maybe you wonder why this list of gay bars in Rome is so short. One reason is that pure bars just for drinking and socializing are less common in Italy. When Italians encounter their friends, for instance, eating together plays a more important role.
If they go out to the same-sex attracted scene later on, it's rather to the parties or cruise clubs.

Some gay bars, partys and clubs in Rome call for a membership card. Often that is the ARCO (Anddos) card.
