I went, at the recommendation of some Romanians, to the Space Club on a Saturday night, and found it to be a trendy place with a young crowd. The music policy seemed to be techno, getting heavier as the night wore on. I left at about five in the morning and it was still jumping. I believe it is only open on Friday and Saturday nights.
Dress Code: I don't know if there is a dress code imposed, but most of the people there seemed to be dressed to impress.

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.
Dress Code: the usual for discos

Bucharest has been taken by storm by the salsa in recent years. If you want to practice your skills, beware: the girls here dance very well. The dancers nights are Thursday and Sunday (85 % salsa, 5 % bachata, meregue reggeton). If you just want to have fun on Latin music, you can go Friday and Saturday. There's an entrance fee of 5 Euros on Fridays and Saturdays and if you don't cope with the heat well, stay home: the nights are set on fire here. ;)
A beer is somewhere around 2,5 Euros , 1 mineral water 1,5 Euros.
Lately, salsa dancers prefer Sala 4 You club and the parties organized by the dancing schools.
Dress Code: There isn't a dress code but you can't dance salsa in Sneakers, can you?

If two years ago there were only one or two places one could dance salsa, the scene has drastically changed now.
The best club around is now Salsa 4 You, where one can also attend classes and occasional workshops (the Vasquez brothers, Melinda, Ismael Oter or Manuel Mascarell have been around lately:) ). The salsa community here also loves costume parties (check the "back to school" pictures).
The doors are opened every day of the week, with an entrance fee of 10 lei (~2,5 euros) on Fridays and Saturdays - it gets very crowded. A mojito is 15 lei (~ 4 euros). Wednesday is also a very popular evening.

Dress Code: You know the dress code :)

This is an old beer house and it started 1879. Of course it must have been different to these days, but today it is more a tourist attraction who also have dancers and music from Romanian players and dancers. Live music. It is a huge building and has three floors, and I was only in the building. In the basement according to a friend they shall offer piano music and the op is as the same as the floor I was at. We drank their local brewed beer which was very good. You can drink win, coffee or what you want. This is a good start of a week in Romania. You can try the Romanian cuisine here too.
Dress Code: Casual. But many people there was dressed up att he same time many did not wear anything special. So, you can go here in almost what kind of clothes you have put on yourself.

This was a place in French style, what now a French style is. But when I was here and drank beer I sat all the time outside and it was really nice. Good service and good food. I went inside to check out the place and it was really nice inside. If I lived in Bucharest I would go here many times just to sit and have a beer or a coffee and just relax and read the newspaper. This place touched my heart! I reall liked this place!

Going to Spice Club is a delight for me for many reasons. First of all, they have a live band playing the best of the best every Friday and Saturday. Secondly, it's a non-smoking club or , better said, they have a separated area for smokers. And thirdly: did I say no smoking at the tables and the dance floor? :D
They are also known to host small concerts of Romanian's best bands and not only: I've been here to listen to gypsy (rroma music), salsa or stand up shows.
The entrance vaies between 10 and 20 lei (2.5 - 5 euros), depending on the event. You can reserve a table for about 35 euros (includes a vodka bottle).
Dress Code: Casual

I was trying to host a CS & VT meeting but the place I tried was fully booked and with only 4 days before my visit Andreea kindly sorted it out for me and booked us tables at Ramayana Cafe. It was the perfect venue and a wonderful turn out as you will see in my Ramayana Travelogue :-)
Thanks again Andreea for this and a wonderful night with everyone :-)
