One of the places to be on Friday nights is Giardino delle Rose in via Casilina Vecchia 1 (rather central but reachable only by taxi): a luxurious garden with open-air bars and tables.
Two large discos are Muccassassina in via di Portonaccio at Qube on Friday, and Gorgeus I Am in via del commercio at Alpheus on Saturday. There are also other gay events and gay discos that you can find on the gay map of Rome. During summer discos are closed and all the gay disco nights are at Gay Village in the Eur zone (where you can arrive with Metro Line B).
During the week the main meeting place after dinner is Coming Out (a bar right in front of the Colosseum) in Via di San Giovanni in Laterano (the roman Gay Street) where crowds of gay Romans and tourists gather in and outside, all year round but overwhelmingly crowded during the summer or late-night clubs such as Hangar in Via in Selci (Metro Line B, get off at Cavour station). The best sauna (open 24 hours during week ends) is Europa Multiclub in via Aureliana (behind Piazza Esedra, Metro Line A Repubblica station).
A meeting spot for gays day and (especially) night is Monte Caprino, the park on the Palatine hill behind the City Hall (Piazza Venezia) with spectacular views over the temples and ruins of ancient Rome.
