Yes, Campo de' Fiori is one busy piazza, and places to drink abound, most of them catering to young adults. For those who still know how to party but feel jaded or fed up with the "trendy" scene invaded by throngs of 18-25 green tourists or students on vacation, this bar is for you!

There is nothing fancy in this small bar: exposed bricks, a small counter... but the mood is always great, and wine barrels are full of peanuts for customers to take (olives and cheese are also available).

In the afternoon, it's pretty quiet, and you can have lunch there with their tasty crostini, but at night... with the Campo being what it is, it's full of carefree patrons enjoying wine or limoncello (theirs is particularly excellent) to get the night started. The terrace gets full, and soon enough, the crowd just overflows around the piazza.

And the prices are not outrageous! This is one of my favourite bars in Rome.

After dark the Campo dei Fiori transforms from a bustling flower market into an even livelier night scene. Tourists and locals gather at the fountains and crowd into the trattorias and cafes. Our group had set the vineria as our meeting place and, in true Italian style, all twenty of us straggled in within an hour or two of the arranged time. The vineria itself was rather small--just a bar inside with a wide choice of wines--but the terrace was ample, and then, of course, people spilled out onto the piazza itself. At the bar, they tell you that if you don't want to drink out of plastic, you have to stay inside, so we opted for taste and hung out for a while on a small bench by the bar. If you ask me, the best thing about traveling in Europe is the wine--it's always really good, and always really cheap!
