by the glass
Courtyard aperitivi, intimate rooms, and the city in lights.
Begin in a sunlit courtyard, follow the conversation into a darker room, or take a seat above the rooftops. Rome offers a setting for each part of the evening, with as much pleasure in an easy aperitivo as a carefully considered nightcap.
Where to begin

About this guide
Choose the setting for your evening.
Miles for Martinis profiles consider the room, the drinks and the welcome together. A rooftop can earn a visit for its view; a smaller bar can make its case through conversation and the quality of a cocktail.
Use the practical details in each profile to plan your stop, and confirm current arrangements with the venue. For Wagon Bar, arrange access with the hotel before making plans.
