Themed restaurants and bars in Rome

Rome's themed restaurants and bars

Rome has a richer scene of themed venues than most people realize, even though they're scattered across the city and no one had ever put them all in one place. There are the fantasy spots: Incantum, a pizzeria fully staged as Hogwarts, with bookings filling up months in advance; La Leggenda di Avalon, a medieval-themed resto-pub open since 1997 with armor, tapestries and beer served in horns; Lannister Pub, a Game of Thrones-themed bar in Casalotti. There are the impossible journeys: Ristotram, dinner aboard a restored historic ATAC tram as it crosses the city, and The Jerry Thomas Speakeasy, one of Italy's most famous Prohibition-style cocktail bars with reservation-only entry. Video game and arcade fans will find Arcade Club on Via Merulana (pinball and cocktails), Arcade and Food (all-you-can-eat with free arcade games), Anime Japan club (8,000 arcade games and Japanese food), Playground Esport Pub (gaming stations and burgers in Primavalle) and Dragon Legend (a comic pub with original comic art on the walls). For a different kind of night there's also Movie Restaurant (Europe's first cinema-themed restaurant, with rooms dedicated to Alien, horror and superheroes), Golden Age Club (a 1920s-30s speakeasy with a password), Pandorum Ludopub (sci-fi and multiverse), Ice Club Roma (a cocktail bar entirely made of ice at -5°C), Tam Tam Pigneto (a jungle setting), Numa al Circo, Pirati Pub, Igio and Hana Pocha (K-pop Korean), Ristorante Sahara (Egypt and Africa), C'era una volta il West (a western saloon in Fiumicino), Sushi Sun (robot waiters), Ristorante Le Streghe (horror all year round), Ristorante E.U.R. (a dinosaur forest), and the two restaurants inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Dolce and Tako Sushi.
