Freni e Frizioni is one of the most popular meeting points on the Roman nightlife scene, where aperitivo and the end-of-evening cocktail have become rituals. The younger set flocks here until late at night, clogging the square in front of the bar to sip their drinks and listen to live music. Occupying what was once a mechanic’s garage, the interior is simply furnished with vintage items, but holds no shortage of charm Via del Politeama, 4/6. Tel 0645497499.
