The Race Club
Step into an underground motors-themed speakeasy near the Colosseum — the Race Club mixes vintage bikes, bespoke cocktails and secret-club vibes for a late-night escape in Rome’s Rione Monti.
About The Race Club
Tucked behind a nondescript workshop façade at Via Labicana 52 (just a short stroll from the Colosseum), The Race Club Speakeasy offers an experience that’s part private club, part designer cocktail lounge.
Once you’ve signed in (yes, there’s a membership-card system) and descended the stairs past vintage motorcycles and garage aesthetic, you arrive in a moody, atmospheric space: brick vaults, rich leather sofas, ambient lighting, and a soundtrack that blends jazz, old-American rock and late-night club energy.
The cocktail programme is taken seriously here. Expect inventive signature drinks (e.g., “The Chopper”, “Burnout Negroni”, “Speedster Martini”) that reflect the theme of speed and rebellion, with high-quality ingredients and presentation to match.
Operating from the late evening (starting around 22:00) until 03:00 or beyond, this is a spot for after-hours conversation, stylish socialising, and a touch of exclusivity rather than full-on club mania.
It’s best to arrive early (or book ahead) if you want a seat; the membership fee is modest (circa €5) and gives access for a year. Dress-smart casual will serve you well here.
