One of Rome’s earliest and most enduring gay venues, Hangar opened its doors in 1984, becoming one of the city’s first openly gay bars and cruising spots at a time when LGBTQ+ nightlife in the Eternal City was still largely underground and discreet.
Located on Via in Selci in the historic heart of Rome, Hangar quickly became a fixture of the local gay scene, known for its lively atmosphere, themed nights, and reputation as a place where locals and travelers alike could gather, socialize, and make connections in a city shaped by tradition and discretion.
