Where to watch the race in...

... Rome, Italy

Sorry for spamming, but I thought something like this could be useful for a lot of people. (please move if I opened this in the wrong sub-forum)

Myself I am in Rome until the end of the month, meaning for all of the classics season. I don't have a television, and while E3 etc I was fine with watching on a crappy stream, I'd prefer the real deal for the races to come.
Anyone have any experience with bars where they show cycling here? Preferably where I wouldn't be the only one watching too.

Coming from Belgium where every single television next Sunday will be turned on and showing the race, even Italy is a culture shock to me...

Well I think your only solution is to just bar hop and get a feel for the good cycling friendly bars. Plus then you also get an adventure while your at it!

I know, that was my plan. But I did this in Italy before, and I was surprised by how hard it was to find anything decent, that's why I try here before.
(and I already had my fair share of bar hopping here, don't worry :D)
 
I was there a while back and found it pretty tough actually to find anywhere that had cycling on - and that was for GdL which as an italian race I thought might be more popular.

anyway - I am not sure if they had it (I ended up watching in my hotel room) but try the Scholars Lounge. They have a LOT of live sports and go all out for stuff.
