Bucharest

Bucharest's Old Town packs an improbable number of bars into a few pedestrian streets, and the bills still read like typos: cocktails for a fiver, local Ursus lager for barely more than one.

About this place

Lipscani's strip does the loud, easy fun; the cooler crowd drifts to the garden bars around Piața Amzei and to Control Club for indie and electronica. Wednesday student nights go surprisingly hard. Late-night covrigi — hot pretzels — cost pennies and fix most things.
