3 Best British and Irish pubs in Rome, Italy

While Italian wine may appeal to many, there is something to be said for the familiar and refreshing taste of an cold beer or ale. It is for that reason that are several British and Irish pubs in Rome, that are popular with both the locals and tourists, not only for the drinks and food, but for the sports that they show including FA Premiership matches.

So if you are in Rome and looking for a place to get a decent pint of Guinness, some traditional English food or watch the football, here are three of the best choices.

1. Finnegan's - The only pub, out of over 100, in Rome that is actually owned by an Irish family. Finnegan's is extremely popular with the ex pat community for the beer and the best place to watch Sky Sports. As well as showing the football, the pub also shows rugby, Formula 1 and American Football.

2. Druid's Pub - Druid's Den and Druid's Rock are two of the best Irish pubs in Rome due to the excellent food, good craic, fine Guinness and traditional Irish music nights. Every Monday evening, the pubs play host to local bands singing traditional Irish songs.

3. Morrison's - One of the first Irish pubs established in Rome, Morrison's feels like a traditional Irish bar as soon as you walk through the door.
