About This Place

Welcome to Bar River, a charming spot nestled along Lungotevere Maresciallo Diaz in the heart of Rome. This unique bar has carved out a niche for itself as the go-to gathering place for sports enthusiasts eagerly waiting for events at the nearby Foro Italico. With its stunning river views and vibrant atmosphere, Bar River offers an ambiance that is both lively and cozy.

While it’s well-known for its welcoming environment, many patrons rave about the culinary delights this establishment has to offer. Customer reviews highlight the bar's impressive selection of pizzas and salads, with one satisfied guest declaring the food to be "incredible" and praising the friendly staff for their attentiveness and warmth. It seems that the quality of the coffee is equally noteworthy, with one visitor surprised by how delightful their brew was, briefly taking a pause from the energetic sports atmosphere.

However, be aware that on match days, some diners have noted a hike in prices—an expected trend in popular locales during high-traffic events. Regardless, the overall experience at Bar River resonates with many who cherish good food, a cheerful atmosphere, and the chance to forge new friendships within its lively walls.

The outdoor space, while it features breathtaking views of the river, currently offers only stand-up counters rather than traditional tables. Nonetheless, this arrangement seems to encourage mingling and socializing, adding to the bar's allure of being a communal hotspot where connections are made effortlessly.

In summary, Bar River is not just a bar—it’s an experience. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick coffee, enjoying a delicious pizza, or soaking up the atmosphere before a big game, you’re bound to feel a sense of belonging and contentment at this delightful Roman establishment. I highly recommend visiting Bar River—not just for the food, but for the vibrant spirit it embodies.

Seems like a watering hole for all the sports fans waiting for their events at nearby Foro Italico. Only had coffee there - but it was surprisingly good. There is a space with a river view but for some reasons no tables there, only some kind of stand up counter

Very good pizzas and salad. Shame they hike the proce up on match days

Bar river is cool place to hangout with friends with great views and atmosphere especially on a match day…

Perfect place to go through..meet new friends. Feeling your own place to go,feel at home!!!!
