Clubs/Discos

1 K Men's Club | via Amato Amati 6/8 | 06 21701268 | http://www.ksexclub.it

This is a no-frills cruising and sex club, so don't expect the red carpet. There are playrooms, private cabins, a video room, and lots of men (but not a lot of boys). Wednesdays and Sundays are the Naked Party.

2 Splash Roma | via degli Argonauti 20 | http://www.splashroma.it

This Saturday night gay party at Saponeria Club has go-go boys, drag and costume performances, guest Djs, and a crowd that is friendly and ready to party. Get on their mailing list for non-Saturday events, such as outdoor, daytime pool parties in the summer. All kinds of gays are here, from twinks to bears.

3 Glamda | First & last Fridays: Circolo degli Artisti, via Casilina Vecchia | third Saturdays: Lanificio 159, via di Pietralata 159/a | 392 0929671 | http://www.glamda.com

Glamda moves around, so you have to follow the party depending on the night. At Circolo degli Artisti the crowd takes advantage of the outdoor area, and it's chatty and cruisey. Lanificio is more of an indoor space, and much more club-like as a whole.

4 Hangar Disco Bar | via in Selci 69 | 06 48813971 | http://www.hangaronline.it

Hangar boasts being the first gay pub in Rome, and we have no reason to doubt them. It's run by an American and his Italian partner. There are hardcore film nights, strip show nights, go-go boys every night, a pretty scene-y bathroom, and an actual dark room in the back.

5 Gate | via Tuscolana 380 | 06 7840335 | http://www.gateroma.it

Despite the smooth boy photos on their website, this is a bear-friendly bar with a ton of cruising going on. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays you must be naked, no exceptions. Sundays underwear is permitted. Wednesdays feature clothing (!), and there's free entrance.

6 Muccassassina | via di Portonaccio 212 | http://www.muccassassina.com

This Friday night party at Qube, a huge, multi-level club, has a different theme every week, and the crowd gets really into it so check the website for this week's theme so you know what to expect. Otherwise, though, it's arguably Rome's biggest gay party, with everything that encompasses. They also have special events on off nights, so check for those as well.

7 Amigdala | via Libetta 13 | 392 0929671 | http://www.amigdala.biz

GOA hosts this night every second Saturday of the month, with guest DJs being the stars of the show, so you're going to find gay fans of the music rather than just fans of being gay. It's a bit of an alternative scene, with plenty of Mary Jane in the air and a dreadlock here and there.

8 Gloss | via di Monte Testaccio 40/44 | http://www.gloss.it

Although Alibi is a gay club in its own right, Gloss is every Thursday and Sunday, and usually when everyone goes. (Fridays and Saturdays are just regular gay nights.) Here you'll find drag shows, DJ-fueled dance frenzies, theme nights, and other silly shenanigans.

9 Gay Village | via delle Tre Fontane | Gianluca: 349 6941054 | http://www.gayvillage.it

Gay Village is open only in the summer, and even then, open only from Thursday to Sunday. But it is akin to an actual village a massive outdoor space where bars and clubs from around Rome set up outposts and all the gays come to party. Note, however, that the hetero crowd does mix and mingle here, so don't go hitting on everyone you see.

10 Il Diavolo Dentro | Largo Itri 23 | http://www.ildiavolodentro.com

Translated to The Devil Inside, this sex club is all about sinning, with mostly naked-themed parties, a sex swing, private cabins, and a dark room. The crowd skews a bit older, but includes the young ones who adore them. Major cruising opportunities.

11 Bunker Club | Via Placido Zurla 68 | 320-2603298 | http://www.bunkerclubroma.com

This heavy-duty cruising club has Gang Bang nights, hot DJ sets, go-go boys, a dark room, and you can even smoke inside in marked areas. It's only on Saturdays and doesn't open until 11pm, but goes until the wee hours of the morning.

12 Frutta e Verdura | Via Aanta Passera 27 | https://www.facebook.com/pages/Frutta-e-Verdura-After-Hour/100116850047134

Open from 4:30am to 1pm, this is where everybody goes when the other clubs close down. There are two dark rooms, glory holes, cruising lounges, private cabins, and a DJ to keep things humming along.

13 Gender Klub | via Faleria 9 | 06 7049 7638 | http://www.genderclub.it

Literally anything goes at Gender Klub, a fetish club for every possible gender and sexual orientation. Check their schedule for trans nights, live sex shows, and more. There are also dark rooms and a sexy box for group sex.
