Bucharest Pubs

Almost all of the pubs in Bucharest listed here serve decent bar food alongside drinks.

For a quick look at the crazy world of Romanian alcohol (and which Romanian beers to look out for) see our feature on just that subject.

Arcade Cafe

One more reason to hail Strada Smardan as the new Messiah of nightlife destinations. This little place is a cool mix of cafe, DJ bar and deadly serious club, though the music is always at the right volume and never stifles conversation. Read_on (No Comments)

Bathory Pub

Lively if rather smallish pub and lounge in a cracking new building on Strada Gabroveni. Comfy chairs and sofas to sit on and decent sounds to listen to as you drink your beer or cocktail. Read_on (No Comments)

Boma Pub

Beer and very good pizza (and fair bit else besides) in a rather nice setting on Strada Covaci, which, with the recent opening of a few other decent places is quickly becoming the new Lipscani street-to-be. Read_on (No Comments)

Bordello's

Always plenty going on here. From quiz nights to live music, this is a great pub, complete with excellent bar food, Heineken, Murphy's and Paulaner on tap and Sky Sports on four screens. Read_on (No Comments)

Cafeneaua Actorilor

Eternally popular late night choice of the actors who work in the National Theatre next door, this legendary bar remains a favourite of ours too. Read_on (No Comments)

Curtea Berarilor

Once upon a time the whole of the Curtea Sticlarilor was given over to artisans - especially glassmakers, from whence the name. Read_on (No Comments)

D'eight

Serving a very good pizza - and plenty more besides - this place is nice. Occupying the site of the old Picasso Cafe D'eight does far more with the space, and does it much better. Read_on (No Comments)

Dreamer's

Dreamer's
As Spock might say, 'it's Dreamers Jim, but not as we know it.' For if you remember the old location as always being a bit cramped (though we have to admit it was not without its charms) then you are in for a nice shock at the new place. Read_on (1 Comment)

Edgar's Pub

Edgar's Pub
At lunchtime office boys and students mix happily as they tuck into great sandwiches and salads, while in the evening a similarly mixed crowd of good time people enjoys the laid back atmosphere always on offer here. Read_on (No Comments)

Elephant Pub & Live Music

Live music pub and club that launches itself into direct competition with the more established Mojo next door. Besides the music Read_on (No Comments)

Gang Lads Pub

The opening night party at this new pub was one of the wildest (and simply one of the best) Bucharest has seen for some time. We hope that having set such a cracking standard nothing will change. Read_on (No Comments)

Halftime

Half-hearted attempt at creating a football-themed pub. If you do make it inside it is not bad, good service, good beer Read_on (1 Comment)

La Calderon 80

With its wooden interior, inoffensive music and gangs of young people clustered round big tables, La 80 does little to distinguish itself from a swathe of similar establishments. Read_on (No Comments)

Le Drakkar Pub et Creperie

Cafe and creperie on Strada Franceza, boasting staff who are friendly despite being rushed off their feet. Specialises in gallettes: those thin French pizzas that make a really nice change from the Italian version. Read_on (No Comments)

Oktoberfest

What makes this place so special is how very ordinary it is. You will find the crowd more local than foreign - never a bad thing - and ordinary, 'out for a drink and a good time locals at that', not the fitze crowd. Read_on (No Comments)

Old City

Good pub on Lipscani with a huge beer garden out the back. Serves very good cocktails (a sweet as you like mojito went down very well with Mrs. Read_on (No Comments)

Old Nick Pub

Three-level venue in Piata Lahovari, featuring a club downstairs (open until 4am), with a pub on the ground floor and a cafe on the first. Read_on (No Comments)

Pub 41

The do a very good mojito here, and it's well worth sinking a few before you try the helium karaoke (which they have most Tuesday and Thursday nights, a phenomenon now approaching quasi-legendary status amongst the Old Town cognoscenti). Read_on (No Comments)

S. A. L. T.

S. A. L. T. stands for Societea de Asigurare a Libertatii Tale (impossible to translate but something along the lines of 'The Society to Insure your Freedom). Read_on (No Comments)

Shift

It’s doubtful that you’ve seen anything like this place in Bucharest before. Shift is a Bohemian restaurant/bar/club of some style. Read_on (2 Comments)

Team Pub

Decent enough pub on the corner of Lipscani and Selari, with good proper bar stools and a decent range of beers. Efficient waitresses in red tops serve the customers well. Read_on (No Comments)

Trinity College

Upmarket burgers, tapas and the like served in an all-American atmosphere to an (almost) all-Romanian crowd. Good ribs, good pizza, good cocktails and Leffe on draught. Read_on (No Comments)

Vintage Pub

Another Smardan drinking den. And it’s not bad. Staff are incredibly hospitable, and the interior décor is pub-ish without overdoing it. Read_on (1 Comment)

White Horse

White Horse
The White Horse has been around so long it should probably consider going out to stud. Or should it? On a recent visit we found Read_on (4 Comments)
