    Very overpriced for what they offer! 18 lei per shot! We ordered 12 shots which was 216 lei. They made shots and instead of offering to us quantity that they made additional barman choose to throw it in sink!( don’t get me wrong but they shake 2 alcohol types and one syrup … so why to throw it when you customer paid you so well) Music has a bad quality for sound and inside smells very mold. Do NOT recommend even once to go there. And also the attitude in your reply justify why you deserve 1 star. Best regards to your management.

    It would be a nice place for football fans, but the problem is that it is in a basement and there is a strong smell of blight, the music had also cheap quality "mixed" from one to another from youtube and it is also cheap for the circumstances.

    My visit to this cool basement bar was marred when one of the barflies or staff tried to follow me into the co-ed toilets when all the rest were unoccupied, not ok. They made unwelcome comments when we left, too. We had only stopped in for one while visiting Cluj for a friend's birthday, had been no bother. Ladies, beware!

    Always a nice experience thanks to the very friendly staff and the good music selection (although this is subject to tastes, granted). The drinks options list is very extensive and you absolutely must try one of the many own shots recipies. A place to chill with some friends over a drink at any given hour. P.S.: Parties such as St. Patrick's are always a blast here!

    Plenty of choice of drinks and shots to pick and choose from. Something for everyone. Service at the bar (unusual for the city) but coped superbly. Wicked place

    One of the funkiest bars in Cluj, they shine out by having a huuuge shots menu, written across a whole wall. It is also famously popular with students and tourists alike. A party place, the atmosphere was really good everytime. The bar queues are long sometimes.

  • 5/5 Alexandru B. 10 months ago on Google
    The staff is brilliant, the place has a good vibe and the drinks are pretty good. The only downside is the prices compared with the places nearby, but if don't really care about this aspect you will have a blast. Staff: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5 Place: 5/5 Prices: 3/5

    Great pub to start off your night in Cluj!
  • 1/5 Carlos S. 1 year ago on Google
    They charge you the same for a non alcoholic cocktail than for a normal cocktail. Moreover is small and not even average, it was not even tasty. It smell like bleach in all the locam.

    It's a good pub with a real pub feel in the city centre with a huge variety of spirits. Staff if super friendly and the music is always great. It's a pub but people standing up and dancing is not uncommon, in fact in most weekends there is a real party scene.

😐 I've been to this Cafe/Restaurant several times, and I've had a satisfactory experience. It didn't stand out from the "crowd" in any of the metrics (food, service, atmosphere) and I certainly wouldn't call it one of the best restaurants in Cluj-Napoca, so I'm not sure why people are loosing their mi...

😠 I am writing this review while I eat. I ordered nachos from here. This can literally be described as 3 day old generic brand doritos with store bought nacho cheese out of the jar. I would know because I grew up poor eating this food from gas stations as it was all we could afford.

👍👍 Nice place to have a meal and enjoy a drink. Prices are about average in Cluj. Went out with a few coworkers. Make sure fo make a reservation for the evening, as the place gets quite packed and you might not find a free table. The waiters are efficient, but the service is slower when it is packed....
