Been waiting for you to show up...! Anyway, how is the duty free for booze at the airport? Litre of vodka for example?
Also any decent Romanian restaurants to go to. Many previous away trips it is too much pub time and little spent on culture and local cuisine. I intend to change the mindset of the fellas I meet at away games! RhylRed, remember that restaurant in Lyon? hahahaha

[gnaume]

always wort visiting local restaurants and bars, if only to take the atmosphere and culture of the city in. Found a peach of a place in Budapest. Was an immense cellar where they served local food (had goulash and a beef dish with loads of vegetables I'd never seen before) and some gipsy band was playing live music. Stayed there for about 3 hours getting Soproni in and talking to the Hungarians. Boss!

Never tried to buy vodka from the airport   But everything at Otopeni is outrageously expensive, I really wouldn't recommend it. Also - do not under any circumstances exchange money at the airport. The rates are awful.

In terms of restaurants - some of the better Romanian-specific restaurants are
- Caru cu bere - http://www.carucubere.ro/en/homepage (close to Unirii square)
- La mama - lots of locations, including a couple downtown (Romana square)
- La scena - http://www.lascena.ro - Unirii square (right next to where I live )
- Terasa Doamnei - Universitate square - if you feel like listening to loud Romanian popular music

If you just want some pizza, I highly recommend Cafeneaua Actorilor - it's at Universitate square, right next to the National Theater.

Also - you shouldn't miss the Hard Rock Cafe in Bucharest - I've been to plenty of HRC's all around the world and this one is among the better ones   It's in Herastrau Park.

will never forget that one richy,the worst one in over 33 years of euro aways,ten of us in there + still nobody owns up who picked it!!!!!

"Cacu cu bere" has also been recommended to me.
Been also told about Fratelli (bar and club).
Also MOJO club - live music and all.

[SwedenRed]

Thanks for the info. Are there any good Adult Clubs? Ones that have the least possibility of ripping you off? Rhyl Red, and the boys should love it!

[Canada Loves Anfield]

Going all out in Bucharest are we?

Fratelli is mostly for dance / electro music, while Mojo is more into pop/rock/live music. There are a lot of cool clubs in Bucharest, and most of them are open until early morning even during the week, so it shouldn't be a problem for those who want to stay out till dawn   As for adult clubs - it's not familiar territory for me, so I have nothing to recommend

[SwedenRed]

Not me mate... I'm happy with elbow on a bar.

That meal in Lyon was gastronomic hell- couldn't believe it when this City is the capital of french cuisine -Richie and i spent days researching a decent joint- Atletico Madrid matched this. Liege pre match meal was a classic

For crying out loud we haven't come to that- they will probably get squashed on Busy air- i am sure our comrade Ro-mania will dig out some classy joints- let's hope he doesn't have business appointments

[EveryOtherSaturday]

Booking it later today, all sorted 3 nights £280 from manny, not to mention our hotel that provides 'special massages' that are 'both intimate, discrete and will leave you with great memories of bucharest', fantastic.

Chris Romania 3 questions...



...ale prices, ciggie prices and brass prices please mate.

[Chris_Romania]

Chris Romania 3 questions...



...ale prices, ciggie prices and brass prices please mate.

Beer prices depend on where you get it from. In supermarkets most Romanian brands are ~2-3 RON / 0,5l. In bars, beer usually starts at 5 RON (~1 GBP). The fancier the pub, the more expensive the beer. Import brands, like Guiness, are usually ~10-15 RON (2-3 GBP).
Cigarettes are usually ~10 RON/pack (that's 2 GBP), for most brands, including Marlboro, Kent, Dunhill, etc.
I have absolutely no idea what a brass is.

[LfcMonty]

Still trying to book it, they have fucked the payment up and we are waiting for 24hours for it to be refunded into me mates account and then it will be sorted. I don't think they are included but they wont be too expensive and one of them is a little trampy fittie, i'll post the picture once ive secured a place in the brasshouse.... sorry hotel.

Brasses are prostitutes, what are the going rates for scatty ones on the street and more the upmarket ones?

What pubs/bars would you recommend for a decent pint, late opening and ones with birds in?
