Description
In the very heart of Trastevere, down one of its many winding roads, you'll find Akbar, an eclectic and trendy cocktail bar that everyone likes to call "the New Pucci". The only indication there's life inside is the big red "BAR" sign hanging outside the door, but once you get inside the warm atmosphere and crazy mix of furniture that includes an old fountain, vintage armchairs, and a sectioned piano, make you feel right at home. Nothing inside this place is ordinary, and in fact all the decor and furniture are vintage items, from the mismatched columns to the neoclassical statues you'll find around the sitting areas. As you can imagine, this is a hotspot for artists and actors who live in the popular Trastevere area and other italian artists just passing through.
Akbar also hosts some live concerts, especially jazz, which fits in nicely with its cool vibe. Chef Gianni Lillo is on hand, putting together a delicious buffet during aperitif and also a selection of simple dishes made to order until late.
