EBG Rating: 7.6/10

Choice/Quality of Drinks:
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
10+ taps of Romanian craft with one or two Belgian and German options on rotation, with a row of fridges for alternatives. Limited soft drinks and back bar.

Style/Décor:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Low-key, Belgian-bar influenced one room boozer with understated wood fitting and typical brewery signage for decoration.

Atmosphere/Character:
❤️❤️❤️
Being open plan, it can be quite a vacant space during the day, reliant on custom to drum up some atmosphere, but it’s a decent enough refuge even when quiet. Service can be encouraged to be chatty at times.

Amenities/Events:
❤️❤️❤️
TV, snacks, takeaway

Value For Money:
❤️❤️
Certainly among the highest prices, although they are fairly uniform, meaning you can pay almost the same for a strong specialist beer as for a regular lager.

Description:
Other than mainstream capital city centre pricing, not much else at Beer O’ Clock resembles the typical offerings in Bucharest’s old town Lipscani.

That feeling is so strong that is almost feels like they may have chosen the location by accident.

Nearby the strip clubs, trashy late bars, ex-pat sports pubs and assorted Instagram chasing twee bistros, Beer O’ Clock feels like an unwanted sibling.

Behind the bar, 10+ taps of Romanian craft with one or two Belgian and German options on rotation, with a row of fridges for alternatives.

Being open plan, it can be quite a vacant space during the day, reliant on custom to drum up some atmosphere, but it’s a decent enough refuge even when quiet.

Service is friendly enough, and if you’re into sampling local and national beers from smaller independent breweries, or need a respectable and non-garish central option (more difficult than it may appear), this will be a must do.
