    While taking a night walk with some friends on Victoria Bvd , we met a group of friendly Spanish guys. They asked us about The Gate so maybe this club became famous over night...
    The Gate is THE CLUB if you're a fan of minimal, electronic and such types of music... not my case however. The club is quite crowded on Fridays and Sundays.
    No entrance fee for the girls, guys have to pay ~ 3 EURO.
    Cola: 2 EURO
    Bottle of wine: 10 EURO
    Cocktails: 5 EURO

    You can also go for a cup of coffee during summer or watch football games live on huge screens.

    La Ruine Terrace: A brick for every mic

    La Ruine, another summer paradise, is a wide terrace serving mici and beer (again and again) to a wide range of students and people that come on the Lipscani to do the shoppings. Just watch the ruins of Gabroveni Inn, not to fall over you. I mean it. For, after too much beer, things start to move…and move…ooooohhhh…
    Unless you come from Kamchatka or Rejkavik, you have noticed maybe that it is not open in winter.

    Just bring your common sense and wear that smile correctly.

    This bar has a great location right downtown Bucharest, near University Square (Piata Universitatii). The bar has an upstairs room and a cellar (sometimes reserved for private parties). They have a good selection of beers and cocktails and they also serve food, which is rather decent for a bar. The service is usually quick and friendly. They fill up quickly but in general we've been able to find a table. It's the kind of place where people come to catch up with their friends - that meaning I wouldn't come here for their music or looking for some wild party experience. My only complaint with them is that the place is very smoky - but that is true for almost every bar in Bucharest so I'm not holding that against them. Open until 2.00 AM on weekdays and 3.00 AM on weekends.

    Nightlife in Bucharest is developing probably faster than Romanian's economy or European integration progress:)
    Here's some update for clubbing:
    - Cuba, mostly house bit of commercial mixtures
    - Bamboo, very posh
    - Cristal club, house
    - Cabaret club, a little bit of R&B, disco, funky house
    - Cuando
    - Downtown
    - Barfly, disco music eventually cheesy parties
    - Chicago
    The picture was taken in Cuando at a Benny Benassi concert who proved quite cool but quite short...Nevermind, by 1am when Benny started we were deeply in a party mood:)

    Fire Club: Lively bar and nightclub

    Fire Club, Bucharest

    My friend and I visited Fire Club one night during our visit to Bucharest in March 2008.

    This popular bar and nightclub is located on Strada Gabroveni, a small street that runs parallel to Strada Lipscani in the heart of Bucharest. The area offers a few good nightlife venues, with the Offside Pub (see other tip) just a few doors away from the Fire Club.

    There is a 10 Lei (2 GBP) cover charge to enter Fire Club, and you will get your hand stamped by one of the bouncers as proof of payment.

    When we first arrived, we sat at one of the tables in the ground floor bar area. There was music playing in the background and music videos being shown on large screen TVs. We sat for a while, drinking draught Ursus beer at 4 Lei (0.80 GBP) per 500ml, before deciding to head downstairs to the club area.

    Downstairs, there is another bar, a dance floor, and a small seating area with wooden blocks to sit on and small wooden tables. Being a Saturday night, the club was packed out and was particularly popular with students and other young locals. No draught beer is available downstairs, so we drank bottled Ursus beers at 5 Lei (1 GBP) per bottle. We sampled the Ursus Blond (a typical lager) and the Ursus Black (similar to Guinness).

    A full drinks menu can be found on the club’s website here: DRINKS.

    Expect to pay between 3 and 6 Lei (0.60 – 1.20 GBP) for a local beer, up to 7 Lei for Czech beers and up to 9 Lei for Hoegaarden and Guinness. You will find the usual selection of popular drinks such as Smirnoff Ice (12 Lei / 2.40 GBP) and Red Bull (10 Lei / 2 GBP), as well as a large range of spirits, wines, soft drinks (4 Lei / 0.80 GBP per bottle and hot beverages).

    The music consisted largely of rock, pop and indie music from the 80s, 90s and 2000s. It was quite an eclectic mix, from The Proclaimers to The Kaiser Chiefs, as well as music from two of Sheffield’s finest bands; The Arctic Monkeys and Pulp.

    No dress code was apparent – I was wearing jeans, a t-shirt and trainers, and most people were casually dressed.

    A lively bar and club, with bottled beers and a good selection of music!

    Discos are popping up all over Bucharest, increasingly catering for a wider range of musical tastes. Club Maxx is a popular place with a relaxed vibe and a good mix of tunes, which attracts a studenty crowd.

    I was a bit shocked though when going there as even if it supposed to be a "student venue", the " female dancers" who dance on stage are almost completely naked, thing which is not common in Western Europe!!

    Offside Pub: Popular pub with live sports action

    Offside Pub is a popular sports bar, located on Strada Gabroveni, just a few metres from the pedestrianised Strada Lipscani in the heart of Bucharest.

    My friend and I visited Offside Pub one Saturday afternoon during our visit to the city in March 2008, and would recommend it to anybody wanting to catch the latest sporting action while in Bucharest. At the time of our visit, a large screen was showing live English Premiership football (Bolton vs Man City), while other screens were showing live football games from France and Germany. A small screen behind the bar was showing live cycling on Eurosport and yet another screen was showing the latest football results from around the world via teletext. You won’t even have to miss any of the action when you need to visit the gents’ room as a TV set is mounted above the urinals! I'm not sure if you ladies will be quite so lucky! ;-)

    I believe that this is a popular hangout for visiting football fans when their club or country is playing a fixture in the Romanian capital, and they’ll no doubt feel right at home in the surroundings. A variety of football memorabilia (framed shirts, signed photographs, autographed footballs…) adorn the walls and there is a table-football table to keep the punters occupied when there is no action to watch on the TVs.

    The beer selection isn’t particularly extensive (only Bergenbier, Stella Artois and Heineken were available on draught), although there is a wider selection of higher priced imported bottled beers. There is a huge selection of spirits, cocktails, wines and soft drinks, and a reasonable selection of pub food (pizzas, sandwiches, salads, spaghetti…).

    We were paying 4.5 Lei (a little under 1 GBP) for 500ml draught Bergenbier at the time of our visit.

    In the evening, we noticed that many of the tables were reserved. We left before the crowds arrived – but I guess they were booking up tables in order to watch the live Steaua Bucharest game that was being screened that evening.

    A great place to watch live football in the heart of Bucharest!
