Pubs and clubs to listen to live music in Rome

While Rome is world famous for its ancient ruins and pieces of art, you won’t be disappointed by the wide range of options its nightlife has to offer. If you prefer to enjoy a relaxing night caressed by Jazz music or pogo-dancing while listening to a live rock band, it’s totally up to your taste and you’ll have plenty of options in any day of the week. Many of our suggestions are clubs active for many years, part of the local knowledge and not focused on business, offering live music events for several decades and still proposing an entertaining weekly or daily program.
You might recognize that not all of them are located in the touristy area: in fact the night scene in the historical centre is not of the most memorable and might feel a little bit boring. That’s why we suggest to be adventurous and to move beyond the historical walls if you really want to experience Rome by night. You can turn the disadvantage of the location into a plus, living your days in Rome as local Romans do.

Some of the clubs in our selection are focused on just one genre, while others offer a variety of options depending on the evening, and include also other forms of entertainments.
