Pin It
Bucharest's club scene is dynamic and one of the best in this part of Europe. There is just about something for every taste, from mega-clubs bringing in top foreign DJs each week to local live music venues.

Barletto Club
It has now had a few names this place, but it remains one of the city's best, most exclusive and of course most expensive uber-clubs.

Bastards
Is that really what it is called? Yes: that is really what it is called. In a Lipscani basement, with the walls stripped back to the red brick, this is a cocktail bar and club where the mood is different every night.

BOA
From the outside a fairly non-descript building that looks vaguely like a warehouse, but once in, Wow! It is an enormous place that mixes luxury with great music courtesy of two top local resident DJs.

Bound Club & Bar
A new Old Town club has to be a bit special these days to grab our attention: Bound is certainly that. We like the grown up vibe it gives off, the smooth sounds and the nice long bar that the staff actually let you sit at.

Chat Noir
Club where a young crowd of locals dresses well (especially the ladies) and dances to a very good if sometimes strange mix of sounds until the very early morning.

Club A
Selling the cheapest Red Bull vodka in the world, this place is a legend. If you want a local, unpretentious, up-for-a-laugh

Control Club
This place tops our list of 'clubs for people who do not like clubs.' It's big, bigger than most in the city, and the two different zones (one especially for live music) have been laid out well.

Coyote Cafe
Coyote is a loud, proud music bar which sets new standards for live music and good times. A huge warren of a venue, good rock music - sometimes provided by the owners themselves - and the right kind of crowd.

Deja-vu
A place that goes from strength to strength. Still the best cocktail bar this side of the River Prut, it is now open during the day for food too: you could spend your whole life in here.

Socialists with an interest in rock music of the world unite! Despite killing lord knows how many people, Che remains cool, and

El Comandante Junior
El Comandante moves its mix of live music, a young, raucous but happy and welcoming crowd and general mayhem to the site of former concept store Market 8.

El Comandante Primer
El Comandante's empire continues to grow apace. This is the latest venue to carry the name, below the La Historia 2 bistro which belongs to the same people.

El Dictador
The latest venue in the growing collection of the El Comandante crowd. You know what to expect: a young crowd dancing to good, upcoming local DJs playing a mix of music.

Expirat & OtherSide Club
A club with two faces. Expirat is home to some of Bucharest's most eclectic sounds, and as it has an OtherSide (Expirat's club within a club), chances are there is bound to be something going on you fancy.

Fire Club
Smoky, mainly rock-playing venue for disaffected youth types. Well, kind of. A makeover last year has certainly made the

Fratelli
Calling itself a bar and lounge, there are certainly enough comfy sofas here to qualify it in the lounge category. That is if you can get in of course.

Freddo
The biggest, boldest place on Strada Smardan. Smart too: when it started raining we were about to run for cover only for the roof to be extended, keeping us all dry.

Joy Pub
Club which hosts all sorts of events from stand-up comedy to theatre and live music of all stripes: rock, folk, jazz. Definitely a sound choice for those of you looking for a more cerebral, grown up and less rowdy crowd than found elsewhere.

Jukebox Club
Smashing live music club. Expect good - mainly local but often foreign - live acts most nights of the week, with a reasonably big name performing at least once or twice a month.

Kristal Glam Club
It's moved. A bit further out of town than it used to be, it is still the number one venue in the city for top international DJs, who play here before they play anywhere else in Romania.

Good riddance Twice, wilkommen Kulturhaus. A nakedly non-commercial club that attracts a nakedly (though not naked, except

Mojo
Three level extravaganza of a venue. On the ground floor is the pub, upstairs is the most popular karaoke venue in the land, while downstairs in the cavernous cellar there is live music, and then some.

Music Club
Just about the best live music venue in Bucharest right now, Music Club is where you'll find a great resident band most evenings performing creditable covers of all your favourite classic hits.

Octopus Lounge & Club
New-ish party venue in Curtea Sticlarilor (the entrance is actually inside Oktoberfest) with DJs every night of the week, and sexy young dancers shaking their backsides at weekends.

Opium Stage
Interesting, very interesting. A cellar in one of Bucharest's grand old passages has been transformed into a lounge/club, complete with kitsch decor and leather sofas.

There are clubs in Bucharest, and then there is this place, which is probably why it is packed most nights until dawn. Always

Reyna Club & Lounge
Just about the latest Bucharest uber-club to open its doors, this is a serious place that comes complete with scantily clad girls dancing on the bar, animated bar staff shaking fiery cocktails and a mix of music that veers mainly towards the very new.

The Floor
The first floor, to be exact, the first floor of Curtea Sticlarilor on Strada Selari. A bar, meeting place and live music venue, you can expect a bit of everything on the music front, from jazz to rock from mainly local acts.
