Voodoo Bar — Restaurant in Rome

We found this place when looking online for a nightclub in Rome. We are 2 Asian girls traveling and went early enough to not stand in line too long, and got in on a Thursday, around 11pm, with no cover. It was an nice looking lounge in a jungle environment. Lots of places to sit, but it was all full when we got there.

They have a makeup artist doing "voodoo" tribal makeup if you want. Drinks are 10 Euro or more, and there is a lineup to pay, where you get a drink receipt, and another line to order your drink, so a lot of confusion and standing around the bar. There was a tarot card reader, readings were 10 euros. We were happy to find the restaurant side opened up after midnight for some house music, which was full of energy and dancing, which was what we were looking for.

We went back on Friday, and it was a different experience. The entry line was longer, and we waited a bit longer. The restaurant side was only open for dinner, and only after 12:30am did it change to a club, and it was more world/tribal music. They had fire dancers both nights.

We found it interesting, and it was close to our hotel. It was a bit scary walking down the narrow streets without a sidewalk in the middle of the dark, to make sure cars saw us on the road. Based on the reviews, I think we were lucky to have a...

Cool outdoor local lounge at the top of a park near the Colosseum. The night we were there, they had a fire dancer come out every hour or so, which was really cool. Music is a combination of trance and house. Not great for dancing, but it's not allowed during COVID anyway.

The drinks are expensive, but really tasty. The more expensive drinks like the loco coco are HUGE - like pineapple sized, so you're getting what you pay for.

In terms of food, they had sushi, burritos, and tacos for dinner at the bar, but wouldn't recommend going for dinner. I think there might have also been a buffet in the back, but you needed to make a reservation over the phone. Eat beforehand instead and come after. If you have to get something, the best was the 3 taco combo. ALSO, the ordering is super disorganized. There's a line to order and pay, but then you have to go to a separate line to get your drinks and food. Save your receipt...

It's our first time in Rome visiting from Ireland for my birthday day, and we queued for almost an hour, and when we were about to go in, we were stopped. He said we could not come in. It was absolutely rude for the security guy not to let us in after queuing for that long and told no. Reason - dress code. The security guards walked up and down the queue, looking at who was there. We should have been told earlier instead of having us wait that long. If only they knew what kind of customer they turned away!

Honestly, they are pretentious. They think they are better than you and try to make you feel inferior. If there is an option of not giving a star, I would.

If you are a foreigner and don't want your night ruined. DO NOT GO HERE! I will make sure to tell everyone to avoid...
