This place rocks -- literally. Great drinks, and great service.
The setup is a bit unique, but ensures that you get served quickly and correctly: you order from a receptionist and pay for your drink, who then gives you a receipt to redeem with the bartenders. Bartenders were great and quick, given the amount of mixed drinks being served.
The place offers a spread of free food for visitors to eat, which was great. There's also a nice outside space with a wall everyone can sit/lean on and people watch. -

The BEST deal for apertivo in Rome!
Food/Drink: I love their apertivo buffet selection. Even though the choices were all vegetarian, they were all super delicious. There are choices that ranged from carrots and celery with hummus, pasta salads, quinoa salads, rice dishes, etc etc. My personal favorite was the fruit salad which consisted of apples and pineapples coated with a layer of cinnamon sauce, sounds weird but it was impossible to stop eating it!! We also got the mint mojito and aperol spritz which are both the fan favorites and super good.
Price: at 8 euros a drink this place is a steal for the amount of food you get. They also have a wide specialty cocktail selection that was around 12 euros per drink.
Atmosphere: Very casual and lively! Google maps may be confusing since it will lead you down to a street when the actual restaurants is upstairs on a terrace of sorts. There is both indoor and outdoor seating but we chose to go with the crowd in the edge of the terrace, people watching as we went back for second servings.
Tips: You need to ask servers to seat you at one of the tables (prices may also be different if you sit down) but you can also order at the bar and take it to the terrace! -

Nice bar near the river and highly recommended. I went with a friend and we had a great time. A good variety of drinks and cocktail with a buffet where you can eat what you want as many times as you want.
Try to get to the bar as soon as possible because it can get really crowdy. -

Amazing appetizers! All vegetarian, healthy and free! Definitely worth the taxi ride over here. This neighborhood is super hip, young and local crowd. Waiters were very friendly and explained the process. 20€ is what we paid for 2 crazy good drinks and this yummy dinner.

We. Had. A. Blast. What fun! Appertivo, drinks, people of all ages and backgrounds, and a gnarly-cute bulldog. What's not to love? Fabulous drinks that do not skip on the liquor. Fun and friendly
Bartenders, good vibes and music, you can sit in or out. The other reviewers got it right. Not much to add. Just go.
