Rome Hotels near Ex Magazzini

The hottest and gaudiest fashions, both male and female, can be spotted on bodies lounging atop the plush sofas in the upstairs bar. A glass panel in the floor separating the upstairs bar from the downstairs performance stage allows the exchange of mutually admiring glances.

Having an audience might drive the downstairs dancers to ever more frenzied heights; the upstairs ladies, however, might want to strategize when planning their evening’s apparel.

Eighties retro and electro pop music takes over at Ex Magazzini on Friday nights, followed by DJ Expander-enhanced house, jungle, and trance music on Saturdays. The small downstairs stage will often be populated with live performers to keep the dancing interesting.

The Ex Magazzini Flea Market

On Sundays Ex Magazzini moves from nightlife radical to arts fair kitsch and flea market funk. While no one will confuse the offerings with the Porta Portese, there are interesting bits of nostalgia including vinyl records dating back to the 1960s and 1970s.

The Ex Magazzini opens its doors to Rome’s night people from 7:00 PM to 4:30 AM on Fridays and Saturdays; the seven-Euro admission will entitle its visitors to entry and a chance to mix with the brightest stars in Rome’s sartorial firmament.
