A social and cocktail compound of lounge bar, rooftop and restaurant, The Deer Club is located inside Rome's eternally hip DOM Hotel. A rich and elegant décor of velvet deco sofas, rounded club chairs and long banquettes are contrasted by exposed brick wall and 20th Century pop art. The space meanders throughout interconnecting rooms that generate more of a restaurant and bar vibe, with evening yielding a delicious small plates menu to accompany the signature artesian cocktails for which the destination is known. On the rooftop, a stylish terrace of white rod iron tables sits under the watchful eye of a bell tower with nearby Tiber River and archeological digging site located just across the street.
