Southern Rome
Doppiozeroo
( 06 5730 1961; doppiozeroo.com; Via Ostiense 68; 7am-2am Mon-Sat; Piramide)
This easy-
going bar was once a bakery, hence the name ('double zero' is a type of flour). But today
the sleek, modern interior attracts hungry, trendy Romans, especially for the famously lav-
ish
aperitivo
between 6.30pm and 9pm. There's a buffet lunch on Saturday and Sunday,
and DJs every Thursday.
BAR
Neo Club
(Via degli Argonauti 18; 11pm-4am Fri & Sat; Garbatella)
This small, dark two-level club
has an underground feel and is one of the funkiest clubs in the zone, featuring a dancetast-
ic mish-mash of breakbeat, techno and old-skool house.

is Rome's serious super-club, with international names, ethnic styling, a fashion-forward
