Anthony Bourdain in Rome

What I think Anthony Bourdain would listen at different bars around Rome and why

Monti - Blackmarket Hall

Bourdain would’ve been drawn to Blackmarket Hall in Monti like a moth to a dimly lit, velvet-draped flame. With its moody speakeasy vibes, eclectic art, and killer cocktails, it’s the kind of spot where conversations stretch into the early hours and strangers become co-conspirators. He’d have loved the layered atmosphere - gritty yet refined, bohemian but sharp - and the sense that behind every drink and shadowy corner, there’s a story waiting to unfold. He probably would’ve ordered something hard on the rocks, leaned back in a creaky vintage chair, and let a live rendition of Sweet Jane by The Velvet Underground wash over him.
