The story of Italy's first Gin Bar
The Gin Corner was born in 2013 as Italy's first gin bar.

More than just a cocktail bar, it’s a hub of social connections, innovative mixology, and urban energy.
2013
The Gin Corner is born. It’s Italy's first gin bar. The idea is to transform the image of an anonymous hotel bar into a temple for Gin Lovers. With the help of Patrick Pistolesi – one of Rome’s most prominent bartenders – we select the best Gin Labels, craft unforgettable signature cocktails, and begin spreading the culture of Gin. Patrick’s expertise and love of mixology play a key role in the inauguration of the bar. We serve over 130 brands of international Gins, no one is better than another, it’s simply a matter of taste.
