the ship that may just get you drunk

After eating a meal at one of the small restaurants located in the Campo De' Fiori we noticed a bar that looked popular and crowded. Although I didn't walk away when I noticed the name "Drunken Ship" I knew I was in for a strange and interesting experience. As we walked in to the dark and congested bar, it was hard not to notice the immense amount of American girls, compared to the large amount of Italian men. As I stood in the long line to use the unisex bathroom, I made friends with a girl who probably doesn't remember talking to me. It occurred to me that I had not seen one Italian lady at the bar and I began to question what we were doing. I sat down at a table to observe the men and their actions. I heard a group of Italians scream to every girl that walked past them "bella" which means beautiful in Italian. I find it disappointing that many Italian men have the impression that all American girls are like the majority of the girls that I saw at the Drunken Ship. It was an experience that I do not regret, and I actually had a great time observing the interactions of the different crowds and expressions the men would make to each other. When I got home I "googled" drunken ship, only to read that it is an American owned bar with an international clientelle. That would probably explain the beer pong that is conveniently located in the back corner of the bar. I probably should've guessed it by the name, but it was something I had to encounter personally. However, if you are looking for an American bar that is located in the Campo De'Fiori...this may just be the place for you.
