EBG Rating: 8.5/10

Choice/Quality of Drinks:
❤️❤️❤️
Drinks are relatively mainstream but with some craft offerings – overall it’ll pass, but potential to be tweaked a little.

Style/Décor:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Bucharest courtyard bar in alternative, down-to-earth style. Inside, rock n roll memorabilia set across a warren of rooms in a converted townhouse. Outside, a patio around the perimeter of the building with second terrace bar and street food van.

Atmosphere/Character:
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The atmosphere is homely and super social, which is its greatest asset, even attracting a slightly wider range of ages. Seems a strange remark, but it is notable in a country which at times feels like it isn’t even legal to go out after dinner if you’re aged over 30.

Amenities/Events:
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Food, snacks, musical instruments, table football, outdoor seating, live music, occasional events.

Value For Money:
❤️❤️❤️
Typical for the area.

Description:
One of the most typical examples of Bucharest’s garden bar scene. The area to the east of the old town and Piata Romana is studded with old mansion houses whose leafy courtyards and abandoned interiors are ripe for conversion to alternative-feeling hangout spots.

Boogie Bar in the Armenian quarter is such a place, one of the more alternative, down-to-earth offerings too. Inside, rock n roll memorabilia set across a warren of rooms in a converted townhouse.

Outside, street food vans and a second terrace bar give it a Hungarian ruin-pub feel in, particularly in the summer. They put up covering and heaters in the winter too – on weekends the outside remains busy and popular.
