Pub Aurora

The name comes from the Aurora hotel, built at the beginning of the twentieth century on the provincial road: according to Valbrembanaweb the venue has always been one of the busiest in the tourist centre of the Val Serina. The pub opened there in 1994 with Ambrogio Quistini, who had taken over the premises; after several managements it closed in 2017.

In March 2023, once the renovation was complete, the management passed to Andrea Ariotti, who had known the village since childhood and often came back in summer. The inauguration was set for Saturday 18 March at 5 pm.

The Instagram profile, “your trusted pub”, puts food first, including pizza by the metre, and music. In 2023 the venue opened mainly as a pub but also as a pizzeria, with a pizza maker as manager, about 50 seats inside and 30 outside.

Menu and prices are not published on the official pages we were able to consult. For a table, especially on music nights, it is worth phoning.

The evenings are the venue's hallmark. Besides the live music and DJ sets promised on the Instagram profile, La Voce delle Valli announced, for example, an Afro Party Night from 10 pm with Dj Valo on Saturday 21 December 2024 and, on Saturday 8 March 2025, the closing party of Carnevale&Oltre, from 10 pm with Dj Luca.

A complete calendar is not published in one place: the evenings appear on the pub's social media profiles and in the events columns of the local press.

The only published schedule is the one announced at the 2023 reopening: Thursday to Sunday evenings, until 2 am, and every day in summer. Neither the municipality nor the Pro Loco gives updated hours, so phone 349 8079007 before you go.

The pub is on Via Roma, the provincial road through the main village, but the street number is uncertain. The municipality records it at 520; La Voce delle Valli, announcing the December 2024 evening, wrote 623. However, 520 is also the number the Antico Ristorante Drago publishes in its advertisement in the Pro Loco's 2026 booklet and that Regione Lombardia records in its register of historic businesses, while the municipality places the Drago at 256: either the two venues are in the same building or one of the sources is wrong, and those we consulted do not allow us to say which. For this reason we do not mark a precise point on the map.

The main village is served by Arriva's line B, only from Monday to Saturday and with a change at Zogno for those leaving from Bergamo, with the Oltre il Colle piazza Tiraboschi stop. For evenings, though, the bus is not enough: in the timetable valid from 14 September 2026 the last bus down the valley leaves piazza Tiraboschi at 5.03 pm, so to get back after the pub you need a car.
