This is the perfect place for checking out the city’s pulse and the local crowds, as hipsters, creatives, corporate people and young mothers all tend to flock here to chill in the afternoon. Also a good excuse to stop for a cocktail, a lemonade or a local beer at reasonable prices (Harghita and Azuga – 7 ron) or to show off your ping-pong skills.

A good place to have a chat and a drink in a very relaxed atmosphere. Possibly the most child-friendly environment in the city, also great for dog-owners. The prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly. They serve plat du jour, also soup of the day and vegetarian dishes. They often host concerts and events at the weekends.

The style of this place is reminiscent of Budapest’s ‘ruin bars’ – it feels a bit like a squat, a bit like a haunted house. The decrepit walls, old furniture and low lighting contribute to its scary but warm atmosphere.

Located in the former cellar of Știrbei Palace, where Prince Barbu Dimitrie Știrbei kept the wines that filled the glasses of the aristocracy attending his pompous balls back in the 19th century, Eden Club is now the epicenter of hipsters and other local fauna. Enjoy the different music in two separate rooms or a ping-pong game to stay in shape.

Lively and gregarious atmosphere especially on the green terrace during hot summer days when the place becomes practically full to the last chair. Also, check out the oriental room up in the attic where you can lounge on the cozy divan and colorful pillows, while listening to select music from dream pop or post-rock to jazz and electronica.

It's really worth a visit, especially for the nude photos of beautiful women from the 1920s and the very funny photos in the gentlemen's toilets. The atmosphere is great, especially when the girls start dancing at the bar, the food is good (but nothing to write home about) and the drinks are reasonably cheap.

The simple tables, non-existent service and lack of décor contrasts greatly with the trendy modern bars found throughout the Old City. Apart from the low prices, this bar attracts a mixed crowd of students, rockers, hipsters and pensioners with its friendly atmosphere.
