Rive Gauche 2
Inexplicably named after Paris's legendary left bank, this is one of the most popular pubs in San Lorenzo. Nearly always full of students, foreigners and assorted friends, it's a vibrant and animated spot that creates a genuinely infectious buzz. Be warned, however - it's a big place, gets very full, and has only one tiny loo.

Miscellanea
American students and their fans love to hang at this down-at-heel pub-bar, tucked near the Pantheon. It has spindly tables and chairs on the cobbled street, while inside has TV screens showing sport and a dingy, informal atmosphere, with conviviality fuelled by reasonably priced beer and cheap dishes and pizzas (€6).

Artù
Housed in an old parsonage, this diminutive, dark-panelled birreria (brewery) with stained-glass windows and an open fireplace is a favourite of thirsty expats. A good spot for a lingering beer and a long natter over a candlelit table, it also serves pretty good food, including pastas and sandwiches.

Fiddler’s Elbow
Near the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, the granddaddy of Rome’s Irish pubs sticks to the formula that has served it so well over the last 25 years or so: Guinness, darts, crisps, and football and rugby showing when there’s a big game on, attracting a mix of Romans, expats and tourists.

Finnegans
At first glance this seems like an Irish pub anywhere in the world, but look closer and it has some Italian twists – the clientele are well-groomed expats and fresh-faced Romans, and you can order Bellinis as well as Guinness. It’s Irish-run and shows all the big football and rugby games.

Druid’s Den
An Irish nook of a pub, the Druid’s Den attracts a crowd of young expats and Roman Anglophiles. It meets all your Irish pub needs: the atmosphere is convivial, the walls are wood-panelled, Celtic paraphernalia is everywhere, Guinness is on tap, and it shows all the big games.

Trinity College
A big lively pub just off busy Via del Corso, Trinity College has an ample selection of imported beers and bar food, and a few outdoor tables. It gets packed to overflowing at weekends, when men might have trouble getting past the bouncers.
