The Court Cocktail Bar

While our visit could have been great, unfortunately it started off on a very sour note. On time for our booked table, we had to wait in a line to be taken into the bar. When we got to the front, I was pulled to the side of the line (in front of everyone) and told that my shoes - which were leather platform sandal style and quite dressy, paired with tight black pants, a lace top and black blazer - were tantamount to flip flops as far as the venue was concerned and they would have to 'get approval' from their manager to let me in. This was while women wearing completely flat, casual sandals were allowed inside and taken to their seats. After having to wait for some time, we were finally let inside, but were then told to wait at the top of the stairs before entering the bar... Finally we were inside and were taken to our seats - one of few seats in the venue where you actually can't see the Colosseum unless you stand up and walk around. I ordered a glass of wine for a ridiculous 22 Euro, only 2 Euro less than the cocktails, only because I didn't want to be charged the 75 Euro cancellation fee if I decided to walk out. From then on, it really didn't matter what the service was like as I was so insulted for having been shamed for what I was wearing (which was quite a bit more fancy than most of the other patrons). I'd also like to point out that The Court is absolutely NOT a rooftop bar - it is actually located at ground level.

The view exceeded expectations. We were lucky to receive front row seats. Cocktail menu was very limited when we went, but we enjoyed the drinks we had.

It was fabulous thank you! So inviting and so relaxing, the view was amazing a great experience and one not to be missed if venturing to Rome.

Super moment merci beaucoup! Nous avons adoré merci beaucoup encore

J’ai beaucoup aimé le cadre c’était très beau et le cocktail était bon 🙂

The best experience of my life ! Incredible ! Une vue à couper le souffle et des cocktails excellents !

It was lovely! What would elevate it is if you had a hook for handbags or offered a chair for them.

Ambiente molto bello, personale molto professionale, vista top! Servizio ottimo

Absolutely amazing experience. The view is incredible, the drinks fantastic (The Shock drink is wicked cool!), and the food was delicious. Book this bar, you won't regret it!

Siamo stati meravigliosamente. Il posto è assolutamente incredibile, con una vista e un’atmosfera magiche. Il personale è gentilissimo, disponibile e molto professionale. Cibo e cocktail di altissimo livello. Il prezzo medio-alto è assolutamente giustificato dalla qualità del servizio e dalla vista.

We weren’t allowed in despite making a reservation. The staff was very rude when we were turned away.

Amazing place with perfect service and drinks! Stunning view.. love it

Extraordinary view, amazing cocktails and superb staff. Not to be missed while visiting Roma.

Good Customer Service. Very accommodating. Served us with a smile.

Our reservation was for 8 PM. We got right in and were able to watch the sun set behind the Colosseum, which was awesome. The complimentary appetizer tray was really nice, the wine fabulous and the service superb!!

Great Service, great setting… Had a wonderful time, thank you!

Amazing views and attentive staff 🤍 thank you for making our evening special

Wir waren rundum zufrieden mit der Bar. Mein Freund hatte sich einen außergewöhnlichen Cocktail von der Karte bestellt, welcher Ihm leider nicht zusagte, es war allerdings kein Problem diesen umzutauschen ohne Extrakosten. Daher nur zu empfehlen.

Great place, it’s a bit pricey but the view is amazing. Stuff were great

The cocktails are amazing. The appetizers can be improved a bit. We were a bit disappointed that the view of the Coloseum is from the side and not frontal as it seems like in the website. Overall worth the experience.

It was belter. Definitely returning to this place. Great service, great view, great drinks

Staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. The snacks with the drinks were a pleasant surprise and very tasty. The Roman martini was excellent but quite small. The mango cocktail was too sweet for my wife’s taste but when you’re trying new cocktails it’s hard to know whether they suit your taste. The biggest disappointment was the view. Unless you had one of the front row seats the view was very limited. The seats felt like they were set up cinema style and we were in the very back row with an awning covering most of the view. I also thought it was a roof top and would be elevated but it wasn’t. You get equally if not better views from one of the many small restaurants around the colosseum (and their drinks won’t be 27 euros). Also the music was not great.

What an incredible view with even better cocktails. I would highly recommend checking out The Court when you are in Rome.

I thought it would be on a rooftop, but it was on the level of the street

Bellissima location, cocktail discreti, personale gentile, tutto ok, con gli aperitivi servirei qualcosa in più…

The food was amazing, the view was stunning. Leading to a great review

We came here for cocktails at nighttime. We loved our drinks and the evening view of the Colosseum was beautiful. Would love to revisit on our next trip to Rome.

Der Service & die Getränke + die Häppchen waren super. Wir hatten eine tolle Sicht & bei ca. 15 Grad waren auch die Heizpilze an. Rundum sehr zu Frieden 😊

One of the most amazing bars I've been there... the drinks, the view! Wow!

This was so much fun! The drinks were amazing and the view was even better. And all the staff were SO friendly and helpful. Such a great experience.

Amazing drinks & friendly staff! Loved our experience. Highly recommend.

It was raining a lot and we still had a beautiful experience. The staff were lovely and the view is amazing

Très bel endroit avec une très belle vue ! Grazie mille !

Geweldige locatie en top drankjes. Jammer dat je na 2 uur weggekeken wordt uit de bar.

Très bonne nourriture et mocktails. Personnel très accueillants et chaleureux. Vue époustoufflante sur le Colisée le soir.

Drinks are really good, I highly recommend this establishment to visit.

Although drinks are expensive the overall experience was great! What a view! Complimentary Prosecco and snacks completed the evening

Très bel accueil ! Service et vue incroyable, ça restera un moment inoubliable, merci !

Es war sehr schön, auf Nachfrage wurde unser Essen getauscht (Allergiker/vegan)

There is no place better to relax after a late tour of the Colosseum. Stunning views, fantastic ambience and knowledgeable waiters. The food accompanies quality cocktails with a new world vision. Highly recommend.

Esperienza eccellente. Lo staff molto attento ai dettagli. La qualità dei prodotti serviti è impeccabile

good view, good beverage, good food, good experience, highly recommended!!!

Great service and amazing views. And the drinks are amazing.

The place is overpriced for the quality/quantity of drinks and food provided. The personnel is overall very polite and professional.

Perfect view of the coliseum! Everyone was amazing and explained the cocktails down to the fine details. Will be back!

Lovely spot for an aperitivo. Friendly staff, amazing drinks. 100% recommend

Serata stupenda, resterà sempre un bellissimo ricordo ❤️ un compleanno speciale!!🥳🥳🥳
