L'Antica Birreria Peroni
Via di San Marcello, Centro (Piazza Venezia area)
What to expect
A historic beer hall from 1906 near the Trevi Fountain, packed with locals and tourists alike over grilled meats and Peroni beer, with long communal tables and a lively, informal atmosphere; no reservations, so expect lines around 8:30pm Thursday to Saturday.
How to approach
Shared long tables mean strangers often end up seated together, making it easy to strike up conversation over beer and grilled food in a relaxed pub-like setting.
