[Drinking] Where are we going to hang out in Rome?

[Dick Head]

Capuchin Crypt Rome

A very special, but also sinister place in Rome is the Capuchin crypt (Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini). The crypts are famous for the chapels full of bones and skulls.

Oh, I like your thinking, pool balls and ques for self defence if required.

Exactly- I’ll get in there early and and put them to one side

don't forget to put your two euros on the edge of the table.

Bumped into a few Albion fans already and we’re all heading to the Scholars Lounge Irish bar this evening. Was in there last night - decent atmosphere

Anyone out and about near Termini tonight.

Looking for a simple bite to eat, couple of beers and the Real Madrid game.
(Local not Irish bar)

I've been told Fiddlers Elbow. Been in the Marconi bar (same owner) and not really Irish. Will be in Elbow tonight, Wednesday.

If you're interested, the Drunken Ship will be the home of Scotland fans Friday with big party, kilts, bag pipes and more.
Don't shoot the messenger.

Went to the Flann O'Brien last night and that was ok. On Via Nazionale, near the Repubblica metro station.

I met some Scots who traveled for the rugby game in Shamrock pub, but no signs of BHAFC fans, if you are anywhere please PM me

There is 2 shamrock pubs.
Best one is at Via Del Colosseo 2
Sandro and Marco at the owners,top blokes but keep your wits while leaving.
I’d suggest to avoid Trastevere and Monti tonight.
You should be all fine as you’ve a good rep but there is always some young kids about looking for trouble.
Anyone need any help or advice my number is +393518622721 and you can reach me on wats app.
Have a great night and welcome to Italy

Not a bad spot and loads of space but if your sitting outside stay in groups.
Chelsea got hit there a few years ago.

They do not serve alcohol today. Request from police/city

 

[SeanInRome]

Many are always checked but I found at Shamrock- via Del Colosseo 2 to be very safe the last few years for away fans.
Sandro and Marco are the owners there,big Lazio Fans and top guys who have the police close by to keep an eye on things.
Just be careful on the way home with smaller streets.
I’d suggest the taxi app - Free Now
Have a good night

Marconi owner has a great pub just around the corner.
Definitely one of the real Irish pubs(oldest) in Rome.
Good staff,all British and Irish.
English Tom and British/Irish(depends on his mood) will look after you

Any views on walking to the ground ? Had a recce yesterday but couldn't work out what routes would be open/best to use (presumably it would be via the western side of the ground but not sure if there's pedestrian access for away fans on a match day)

We are planning on walking up as we are staying between the Vatican and the ground. No tips to share, sorry but were thinking of getting up there about 3 hours before KO to avoid queues and any bother.

 

[raymondo]

Don't know much about Rome tbh, but looks like there is pretty big square in the Vatican district, featuring a decent enough balcony that looks like it would take a flag or two.

Ah...bless you

Well don’t go round the south/east side (near the dodgy bridge) - obviously a big home fanzone (loads of bars etc). I think the route would be Via Dei Gladiatori then bear left which takes you towards the bus drop-off and away turnstiles……but not clear how we’d get to them

This is not true.
Via dei gladiatori does not bring you to the away end.
You need to go around anti clockwise and it’s 10/15 minute walk from the Main Street.
I don’t recommend walking for anyone,enjoy the city have done beers and get the bus down

Thanks - did find it confusing….the anticlockwise route takes you past the bridge and fanzone which are probably best avoided………I did that yesterday and then went past the athletics track (worth seeing another time) but had to double back to get to the away turnstiles and bus drop-off. The main road over the hill around that side isn’t really walkable at all (Sean - I know you know this, just commenting for any of our lot that were thinking of walking). Bus it is then

We will try to get Fiddlers this evening. Assume they’ll be showing the footie?
Went to the Albert last night - just north of Qirinale palace - it’s ok tho a bit small but they show football and have a pool table

Albert absolutely rammed inside and out tonight. Will probably watch the game in there tomorrow
