Pub Altroquando In Roma

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

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 loved it, it has a lot of variety

I recommend both for the bookshop and the pub downstairs.

This place is such a gem! Upstairs, there’s a cozy bookstore with a great selection of books, mostly in Italian, plus some lovely gift ideas like notebooks, posters, calendars, etc. But the real highlight is the bar downstairs. It’s super cool and has a unique vibe, with bookshelves, dim lighting, and vintage movie posters everywhere. Perfect for grabbing a drink and soaking up the atmosphere. The staff at the bar are incredibly friendly and cool, adding to the laid-back and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re after a good book, a unique gift, or just a chill spot for a drink, this place has it all. Definitely worth a visit!

Favorite bookshop in Rome and beyond. A real bookshop with selections of interesting books placed in the foreground, booksellers who know how to give you excellent advice, and really beautiful. There is a pub downstairs which often hosts and interesting winds!

Found by chance, it's a little gem hidden behind Piazza Navona, an independent bookshop with a pub underneath offering drinks, food, other books and live music (we popped in on a Sunday evening and listened to a blues soloist). An authentic unexpected experience, it will become a fixed stop from today onwards.

Independent bookshop in the historic centre, behind Piazza Navona. Very friendly staff and able to recommend the right book for every occasion. Downstairs there is a pub, where meetings, events, concerts are organised. Enter and let yourself be enchanted by that wonderful place that is the Altro Quando.

Found by chance, walking near Piazza Navona. But it wasn't such a "chance", it was the bookshop itself that made us pass there, get closer, and discover, after a joke, the underground pub. Magical place, literally. Beautiful atmosphere, competent, kind and also nice guys (no small quality...). I recommend everyone to be kidnapped by this place for a few hours.

This bar-bookstore combo has the kind of aperitivo you hope to stumble into in Rome. Wine and snacks? Check. Local? Check. Small and eclectic? Check. Bonus: it’s run by an independent bookstore. Everything was superb. We sat outside and people watched while we sipped wine and ate (gluten free!) snacks. Visit. Peruse. Sip. Enjoy.
