Going to Rome for the six nations game, was wondering if anyone knew of a pub in Rome that will be televising the derby game?

You might get lucky here was there years ago and they were showing EPL games.

Like this quote about the bar

"The Druid’s Rock is not a place to go if you want to have a romantic night out. It can be crowded and the crowds can be rowdy. Fights sometimes break out." :thumbsup:

Or this one

I don't know of any places showing it but when I was in Rome last October I stumbled into an Irish Bar which had a Hibs scarf behind the bar! I couldn't believe it :thumbsup: It was just West of the Piazza Novana. Maybe this place is worth a shot?

Just looked it up - Abbey Theatre Irish Pub, Via del Governo Vecchio, 51

I watched 2003 Uefa Cup final in The Abbey.
Brilliant pizza place across the street. Papa Buffete's?
Think you might struggle to find Hibs game but good luck...

There is actually a 'Scottish' pub in Rome that also shows sports. Got to be worth a shot. It's a few minutes walk away from the Spanish Steps.

Thanks for the answers guys, will try calling a couple of these places to see if they are showing the game. If anyone else is travelling to Rome for the rugby and wants a drinking buddy for the derby, let me know. The folk im going with are Ross County fans :rolleyes:
