Hangar (Closed Permanently)

(14 Ratings)
Rome's oldest but still frisky gay bar
Historic Roman landmark of the gay-cruisy kind, Hangar is the city's first ever full-on gay bar (as opposed to discotheque), opened in 1984 by friendly and welcoming partners Gianni Sargioni and USA-born John Moss, with Sargioni now overseeing the business solo. Located oh so near the Colosseum, the bar has gone from feeling very 1984 to being 80s-retro. Its dark and gritty leather/bear-friendly atmosphere – including a backroom – lures both locals and tourists. There's even a legal smoking bar on site. Sargioni leaves the entertainment to strippers on Thursdays. Metro stations: Cavour and Victor Emanuele.


Hours
Thu to Sat 10.30pm—2.30am

Meat the locals

The Hangar is a friendly local bar that welcomes visitors. If you like to put on the airs or you're formal this is not the place for you. I found the owners very friendly in this laid back, casual bar. The people at the Hangar are playful in a good way. When I'm back in Rome I will cum back to The Hangar.

Not a terrible place to go

The guy at the entrance was nice and chatty, and the bar had a decent atmosphere with pictures of guys plastered over the walls. However, the vast majority of the patrons were well over 40, making it a bit awkward when they were ogling you as you passed by. A good spot if your looking for action from local daddies, but if you're younger, you might want to look elsewhere. The best part of the night was the hot stripper with a good choreographed show.

Still Here

I was thrilled to see that The Hangar was still there after thirty years. The old girl is still up to her tricks i.e. back room , hot guys etc.
