What’s the vibe?
Named one of the 50 best bars in the world, Drink Kong has sophisticated cocktails without an intimidating aura. The dark bar has intimate table seating and just enough neon lights and retro arcade games to feel cool instead of kitschy.
How late is it open?
The bar is open until 2am and reservations are close to essential.
What are the prices like?
Cocktails are around €14 and there are a variety of small plates from the Japanese-inspired food menu.
What should I order?
The cocktail menu is mood-based and free from elaborate descriptions of ingredients. Order based on flavor profile (like citrusy vs. bitter) or opt for a drink marked as high on ‘Kong Factor’ for a taste of the signature mixology style.
What’s worth visiting nearby?
Drink Kong is a destination in its own right, but downhill from the bar, the villagelike neighborhood of Monti is brimming with boutiques, jewelry designers, and vintage shops. In summer, even if the stores are closed, the nearby Colosseum is open for moonlit tours.
