Pub Altroquando In Roma

Characteristic place, at the same time magical. Entered by chance to take a look at the books, went downstairs along a staircase called by the musical notes of a pianist with an unmistakable and engaging touch. Opportunity to drink a wide range of beers on tap and taste glasses of wine under the suggestion of the great barman Marvin 🤩🍹 What can I say, a pleasant evening in the company of books, music, beer, magic 🎁

In the beating heart of Rome, a stone's throw from Piazza Navona, there is Altro Quando, an independent bookshop that is much more than a simple book shop. As soon as you cross the threshold, you immerse yourself in a parallel universe made up of selected volumes, cinema posters and details that tell stories.   Altro Quando is a place that celebrates culture in all its forms: from literature to music, from cinema to art. The bookshop hosts a vast selection of titles, with particular attention to independent publishing houses, offering readers the opportunity to discover works outside the mainstream circuits. The books are sorted by publishing houses, a detail that reflects the care and passion with which this space is managed.  But the real surprise is found on the lower floor: Ander Quando, a literary pub where the walls are covered with film posters and writings that stimulate the mind. Here you can sip a craft beer, listen to live music or participate in cultural events such as book presentations, stand-up comedy evenings and creative workshops.  Altro Quando is an experience to live, a place where the passion for culture can be felt in every corner. If you are in Rome and love books, music and cinema, this bookshop is a must.

I came here on a trip from Japan. I like board games, so I bought ``Espresso Doppio.'' I'm grateful to have found this stylish and wonderful Italian game and to have found this store! Sono venuto in Italia in viaggio dal Giappone. Amo i giochi da tavolo e ho acquistato 'Espresso Doppio'.

Excellent bookshop where you can find lots of books everywhere

Famous and now historic bookshop in the centre. Highly recommended!

Two separate businesses, ground floor library, bar below with excellent beer

Such wonderful place. My favorite bookstore in Rome so far.

I loved it, it has a lot of variety

Great little bar below a vintage book store. Good beers, great vibe and really good prices for the area. Quiet, but it was pouring down all day on a cold winter day, so definitely not peak season. Back home in Melbourne a bar like this would be absolutely heaving with patronage. Happy to have the place to ourselves really.

I recommend both for the bookshop and the pub downstairs.
