Right next to the Coliseum is the Hangar, a perennially packed staple of gay Roman nightlife. Covered in neon cityscape murals, the black-lit bar segues into an equally spacious dark room. It calls itself "the first gay video pub in Rome," and in order to get in you'll need a membership card, which foreigners can get at the door, but please look trend-forward and leathery. The owner is an American expat from the South, and he likes to show off his love of the Italian man's physique. Modern-day Adonises show off their stuff above the bar on dramatically lit balconies. There's also a back pub with a pitch-black back room.
