EBG Rating: 7.7/10

Choice/Quality of Drinks:
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The drinks are real showstoppers. Along with a stock menu and offer to make any regular cocktail of your choosing, they put particular thought into themed menus on a seasonal basis. Made with panache and real creativity, they are superb and command your attention.

Style/Décor:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Set on the 1st floor of a historic townhouse in the Armenian quarter. Inside, twirls of neon lighting span the ceilings of each of the several rooms. Some of the house’s original features such as the glazed tile steam heaters (very common in Bucharest) remain in place.

Atmosphere/Character:
❤️❤️❤️❤️
The connecting lighting and quirky setting is atmospheric, the music selection superior and the service friendly and chatty, putting you at ease and making you feel involved. There is perhaps a slight emphasis on formality which some will find unnecessarily insecure – it could let its hair down further.

Amenities/Events:
❤️❤️❤️
Food, snacks, occasional events

Value For Money:
❤️❤️❤️
While no bargains, it is entirely fair for the quality of what’s on offer.

Description:
Armenian Quarter, so another converted mansion house becomes a bar? Ding ding, correct.

Teoria is a cocktail bar set on the 1st floor of a historic townhouse.

Inside, twirls of neon lighting span the ceilings of each of the several rooms like a snake, with a neat feeling of connecting spaces you can’t even see – quite effective.

Some of the house’s original features such as the glazed tile steam heaters (very common in Bucharest) remain in place, so the combination of history and modernity both clashes and blends in a way you’d more likely find somewhere like Italy.

The drinks are real showstoppers. Along with a stock menu and offer to make any regular cocktail of your choosing, they put particular thought into themed menus on a seasonal basis. On our visit, cocktails inspired by infamous closed bars in Bucharest and the stories surrounding them proved perfect. Made with panache and real creativity, they are superb and command your attention.

Although it was quiet on our winter visit, the experience was enjoyable enough that to leave was a real drag.

Service is friendly and chatty too which helps keep you feeling connected and well attended to.

A must for cocktail fans.
