A number of the restaurants we list feature
live acts
of variable, sometimes dubious, quality. If you want to find some better quality entertainment to accompany your meal, try one of the places specializing in Romanian cuisine, such as the
Hanul lui Manuc
and
Carul cu Bere
, which sometimes put on good Gypsy musicians or

Discos
are popping up all over Bucharest, increasingly catering for a wider range of musical tastes. All those listed here keep rocking until at least 4am.
Backstage
, at Str. Gabroveni 14, is a popular place with a relaxed vibe and a good mix of tunes, as is

Vox Maris

Why Not?

Studio Martin
, B-dul Iancu de Hunedoara 41.
Salsa You & Me I
, Str. 11 Iunie 51 and
Salsa You & Me II
, Str. Luterana, are fabulous party places where the locals indulge in a more sophisticated mode of dancing.

at the
Café Indigo, Green Hours, Laptaria Enache
