Entertainment in Cluj Napoca

  1. A

    Diesel Bar

    It's obvious - right on the main square - but if you walk right pass the hipsters looking to be seen in the all-glass entry and go downstairs into a towering room, with red-spotlit tables and giant rooms,you can mix with the coolest of Cluj. 'It's chill-out on weekdays, DJs and live music on weekends', explained the nose-pierced bartenders.

  2. Obsession

    One regular told us with boundless pride that the slick three-room Obsession, about 1km south of the centre, is 'definitely the hottest club in Transylvania'. It gets its cred with its blaring beats, wall-to-wall bodies, theme nights (including Magyar Night), and big-name DJ visitors.

  3. B

    Irish & Music Pub

    A little Wild West up-front, this sprawling pub is a great casual place for buddy blokes to sit and drink, indie-poppers to flirt, and students to study on quiet nights. Lots of live shows on the small stage.

    La Solas

    The student ghetto, southwest of the centre (on/off Str Piezişă, reached by Str Clinicilor about 300m from Piaţa Lucian Blaga), teems with lively open-air bars, including La Solas.

    Club Roland Garros

    Part pizza restaurant, part teenage weekend disco, Roland delivers for its riverside balcony seats, great for afternoon beer to watch fishermen.

  15. Crema

    Masterpieces of Western Europe on the wall, and matching prices on the menu - espresso is around €2.50, but then again, Crema is one of Cluj's hippest café/bars.
