  1. A

    Piranha Club

    About 2.5km west of the centre, the student-dorm area teems with Bucharest's merriest drinking/eating life. Action's found on either side of the Dâmboviţa River. Best is this, a jungle-lodge-type place with piranhas in aquariums, low-lit gazebos decked out like country homes, cosy seating inside for when it's cold, and pretty good food. There are frequent live shows too. It's south of the river, a couple of hundred metres west of the Grozăveşti metro station.

    La Butoaie

    Huge with uni students, this lively open-deck bar on the 5th floor of the Ion Luca Caragiale National Theatre fits hundreds, with benches and big pillows in the seating areas. It fills early on nice days.

    Mes Amis

    More Marais than its glitz-job neighbours on Gabroveni, this alley bar has wood-beam ceilings, grapefruit-pink walls and alt rock coming through the speakers.
