Nightlife Spot: Marconi
Right in front of the Santa Maria Maggiore basilica you'll find the Irish pub Marconi. Cosy atmosphere, and with good food.
Went there for the first time in May 2007, when I sat on a chair outside, and watched the sun go down over the basilica, while I slowly sipped on a beer.
Went back again in December, when it was way too cold to sit outside... But the beer still tasted as nice as in May!
Unfortunately this Irish pub doesn't have any Magners for sale, which should prompt them to be very ashamed of themselves. Instead they only have Guinness and Strongbow, which is just a sad excuse for Bulmers/Magners.
Have never seen the place crowded, it's more like a pub where the locals go for a late beer after work, and where everyone knows everyone.
Not a place I would spend the whole night in, but for a few beers with your friends it's perfect!
