When to Go Out in Bucharest, Dress Code Requirements & Other Practical Tips
Friday and Saturday nights are typically the busiest and liveliest in Bucharest. Many clubs, bars, and venues host special events, themed parties, and live performances on these nights. If you're looking for a vibrant atmosphere with larger crowds, the weekends are your best bet.
Bucharest's nightlife scene tends to be particularly vibrant during the summer months. Many clubs and bars have outdoor terraces, rooftops, or gardens where people can enjoy the warm weather and socialize. The city also hosts various open-air festivals and street parties during this time, adding to the excitement of the nightlife.
A suggested time to head out and go for dinner is from 7 to 8 PM, with a reservation usually being a pre-requisite. Heading to the bars is mostly preferred around 10 PM, especially during the summertime, since that is the time the bars only start to get lively and welcome clients for a drink.
In the Old Town, most bars turn to clubs after midnight, that being the time the real party begins.
For VIP clubs which are situated outside of the Old Town, reservations are required, especially on weekends, to avoid an entrance fee or in the worst-case scenario being rejected at the door due to full capacity. It is usually a requirement to claim reservations by midnight. However, as most clubs provide themed shows with their own dancers during the weekend, these will do not start until 01.00 AM, giving time for the club to fill and for the clients to be escorted to their respective reservations by their hostess, but also to provide enough time to put in their first order for bottled spirits. It is common that each reserved table has their own dedicated waiter, but this also comes with a minimum charge for the reservation.
Special Events and Festivals: Keep an eye out for special events, festivals, and concerts happening in Bucharest throughout the year. These events often draw large crowds and create an extraordinary atmosphere. They may take place on weekdays as well, so it's worth checking the event calendar for unique experiences.
Dress codes usually apply for the VIP clubs and bars located outside of the Old Town, however there are venues within the Old Town that may require some form of dress code. Especially clubs and lounges in Herastrau Area, it is recommended to go with the Smart Casual dress. It is best recommended to avoid shorts, flip-flops or sportswear while going out, regardless of the venue.
In terms of entrance fees, keep in mind that some of the most popular locations host events on weekends, which may apply for entrance fees or pre ordered tickets, therefore, the best option would be to check online their events section before heading out to the actual location.
Regarding how to get around, the subway and bus lines close at 11.30PM and open at 5AM in the morning, therefore an alternative solution for transportation during these times is to use taxi services or ridesharing apps (Uber, Bolt, or Clever), the last option being the one preferred by both locals and tourists as they are generally considered inexpensive and safe.
Areas/Hotspots to go out in Bucharest
Whether you are looking for a calm afternoon with some friends with a glass of wine in hand, an entertaining bar crawl, an elite night out at a club or a stylish cocktail bar, Bucharest is has it all. There are a few hot spots where you can find all these, well known for their different specific ambiance.
Calea Victoriei
This unique Boulevard is known to be the shopping street of Bucharest, but in our view also the most diversified and picturesque part of central Bucharest. It begins at Piata Victoriei i.e. Freedom Square and ends just outside of the Old Town and stretches to a length of 2.7 kilometers. That makes for quite a walk, but an interesting one albeit. You can find museums, monuments, branded stores, hotels, casinos, hip café spots, Craft Beer Bars and a variety of restaurants offering different international cuisines on Calea Victoriei. You’d guess that mostly tourists would be wondering with the Red Bus Hop on/ Hop off service passing through the area, but the Boulevard and its’ side streets is also extremely appealing for the locals.
We suggest starting an evening out hoping from bar to bar along the Boulevard prior to going into the louder and more outgoing ambiance in the Old Town.
Old Town
Well-known to locals as Centru Vechi, Bucharest Old Town has a balanced combination of everything you may be considering during an evening out.
The area saw a boom of development during the late naughties, and has become some sort of partygoers haven during its’ transformation, with a focus to appeal at large to tourists traveling for the purpose of experiencing the nightlife the city has on offer. A variety of restaurants (including the famous Carul Cu Bere), stylish sky bars, classic pubs and lively bars keep visitors spoilt for choice. The energy of the Old Town is second to none, and the night seems to never end, with some venues not reluctant to keep the party going till dawn.
The prices are quite affordable comparable to other European capitals, but a tad bit higher by local standards. However, it is not a rare find to see younger crowds and students while crawling the bars, given there are student bars and clubs also in the vicinity.
Despite being known for the nightlife, a few reputable stores are located in the Old Town. The area is also at the centre of various parks, and bordered by the Dambovita River, Universitate (University Square), Calea Victoriei and Regina Elisbeta. Therefore, during the day it is inevitable to see herds of tour groups with their dedicated guides roaming the area, as the neglected buildings and history of the Old Town make it worthwhile.
Lipscani
Lipscani is a district within the Old Town that deserves a special mention. It is a lively pedestrian street lined with bars, cafes, and clubs. Here, you'll find a blend of modern establishments and traditional Romanian beer houses known as "berării." Lipscani is popular for its lively atmosphere and the variety of venues it offers.
Dorobanti
Another upscale neighborhood, Dorobanti, is home to a range of stylish bars, clubs, and restaurants. The area caters to a more upscale clientele and offers a mix of trendy venues, live music spots, and cozy bars. Dorobanti is known for its elegant and fashionable establishments.
Calea Floreasca
Calea Floreasca is one of the most widely known streets of Bucharest and is the home to some chic fine dining restaurants and stylish lounges. More appealing to the locals, the venues are not as closely situated to each other as you may like for the convenience of hopping from place to place. However it makes for a very good night out if you are in search for an exceptional international dining experience, or in search of a quality cocktail bar with house resident Dj’s providing a suitable ambiance.
With respect to the quality provided for all food, drinks, and service, you can find the venues to be fairly priced. With proximity to Lake Herastrau, there is always the opportunity to continue your night down by the Lake where you can find clubs and bars in abundance.
Herastrau Park/Lake
Lake Herastrau is the oldest manmade lake (constructed in 1936) in Bucharest. It is located in the North of Bucharest with a length of 7.4 kilometres. Along this stretch herds of locals and tourists are found walking along the periphery of the lake looking for the ideal venue. Herastrau is the spot for high-end fashionable parties hosted by the most exclusive venues. The Herastrau area is ideal for those seeking a more upscale and refined nightlife experience. Typically, entrance is subject to reservations, where some clubs are pre-booked from weeks in advance. Dress code is applicable for all customers, regardless of the time of arrival to the restaurants and clubs.
Given the high demand and reputation, but also the psychological prestige created from being able to party in some of the clubs, the prices are a considerably more expensive than the Old Town.
