The Race Club

I came here as a last minute idea with my girlfriend on a Sunday night, and needless to say from the moment we walked through the door I could tell our experience would be worth it. We were immediately greeted by staff who explained the process of ordering drinks/obtaining membership, deals that were available for us (we took the 2 drinks and free membership for 35€ deal), as well as serving us water and popcorn. After we had settled into our seats, our personal waitress Francesca approached us and guided us through the drink menu, giving us insight to the drinks we may or may not like. She was excellent and very hospitable, giving her undivided attention to making sure what we ordered was exactly what we wanted. You could tell she is passionate about ensuring a positive experience for everyone she speaks to. I ordered the special of the week, which was a whiskey and coffee based drink that came in a cute motorcycle display, and for my second drink I had the Mezcolado. The flavors in these two drinks were amazing, and crafted perfectly for my taste. I have been to numerous cocktail lounges and this is by far one of my favorites. The next time I am in Rome I will be sure to stop by again.

The most overrated and overpriced bar I’ve been to ever. They make the bar sound like a VIP place. You ask to come in and they tell you “there’s a cover fee of 5€ per person plus you have to get a 20€ drink, are you ok with that”. Then when you go, the place is near empty, couples only, AC is North Pole cold and service is beyond slow. Only good things are that the decor is nice and drinks are good. I do not recommend.

In the heart of Rome, a city teeming with history, art, and romance, lies a captivating haven known as the Race Club Speakeasy. With an air of mystery and exclusivity, this extraordinary establishment invites you to step back in time and immerse yourself in an evening of unparalleled experiences.

As you approach the discreet entrance, anticipation fills the air. The dimly lit alleyway sets the stage for the secrets that lie within. Stepping into the Race Club Speakeasy, you are immediately transported to a world of glamour and allure. The ambiance exudes a striking blend of chic sophistication, sensuality, and captivating charm that enchants all who enter.

To gain entry into this exclusive establishment, a nominal membership fee of 5 euros is required. However, fear not, as this fee is waived when you indulge in two of their exquisite signature or classic drinks. During my recent visit, I couldn't resist the temptation of the fiery Moscow Mule, while my wife delighted in the timeless elegance of an Old Fashioned. Each sip was a revelation, a testament to the craftsmanship of the skilled mixologists behind the bar.

The Race Club Speakeasy operates with two distinct seatings, offering different atmospheres to suit your preferences. The first seating commences at 10 p.m., allowing you to embark on a stylish and early evening affair. For those seeking a more nocturnal experience, the second seating begins at 12:30 a.m., promising an exhilarating late-night adventure.

To ensure a seamless experience, it is highly recommended to make a reservation online prior to your visit. The Race Club Speakeasy values its exclusivity, and without a reservation, seating becomes limited. By planning ahead, you can secure your place in this highly sought-after venue, guaranteeing an unforgettable night awaits.

A true connoisseur's paradise, the Race Club Speakeasy boasts an awe-inspiring collection of whiskies. Whiskey enthusiasts will be enthralled by the extensive selection, which includes rare and coveted bottles. Among these treasures, you'll find two exceptional bottles of Laphroaig 33, an impressive collection given only 60 total bottles in all of Italy. Whether you possess a refined palate or simply appreciate the finer things in life, the Race Club's whiskey offerings are a testament to their commitment to quality and exclusivity.

Eine Bar die ihresgleichen sucht!
Nicht as günstigste, aber was hier geboten wird ist ganz großes Kino! Service unglaublich professionell und freundlich, das Ambiente ist genial und die Drinks sind sowohl vom Geschmack aber vor allem von der Präsentation her nahe der Perfektion!
Eine absolute Empfehlung für Fans gehobener Cocktailkunst!
P.S.: Lasst euch von der unscheinbaren Tür und der Klingel am Eingang nicht abschrecken. Euch wird geöffnet und es erwartet euch eine einmalige Erfahrung!

Who made a high rating to this place?
Disgusting, really disgusting cocktails for 20€, are you kidding?

The blue cocktail was in the nice glass, and the most delicious thing in it was a parsley leaf to eat after this horror.
Was it failed experiment?
Or it was 20€ per beautiful glass which was so small and even wasn’t full (you can see it in the pic)?

My husband asked to change the “coctail” to Mojito but it was still 20€.

+ 5 € per person per entrance, ha ha.

There were a lot of tables without people, but we were proposed to sit at the table with a couple or with the other company of friends

+ The interior was really nice and it could be a good pastime, but no.

- mandatory 5€ membership to enter;
- drinks: 15€ for classics (old fashioned, negroni and so on), 18-20€ for the house cocktails.

I tried the “Golden Blood”, basically a Bloody Maria with sweet pepper-infused tequila and cherry tomato soup. Very nice presentation, (it came with a blood bag for transfusions) but I could only taste a light diluted tomato flavor, the tequila might as well be missing.

Overall the place fails to impress. The drinks price is in the very high range and the quality is just not worth it, the atmosphere is not of a speakeasy.

Positive note: friendly staff with cool mechanic uniform.

We had a cocktail here after dinner and we loved it! The cocktails were really delicious and well thought. The design, the execution and the taste of each cocktail were really good! Also the service was excellent! Definetely recommended when you are in Rome. You must become member but it is very easy, just walk in!

Very unique place! The staff is very nice and is always making sure that you’re enjoying your time there.
Personally, I love how originals the cocktails are, but they didn’t taste too good. Recommended for a once in a life experience!
