The Best Bars in Bucharest

Bucharest's cocktail scene mixes hidden doors, Italian aperitivo and Eastern European nostalgia. The best bars in Bucharest start with Fix me a Drink, which builds its cocktails on Eastern European nostalgia ingredients, doubles as a gallery with rotating exhibitions and turned ten in October 2026. Oficiul 1 calls itself the first speakeasy in Romania and hides behind the red door of a former post office; the clues to find it arrive with your booking confirmation. Negroni Aperitivo Bar walks guests through the history of its namesake drink, runs a daily aperitivo hour from 18:19 to 20:19 and marked its third anniversary with a Negroni Grand Tour that included a drink from Rome's Drink Kong. Pamela is a café bar with a rakia bar and a tropical streak, and Teoria serves a signature list of Theoretically riffs on the classics, among them an Amaretto Sour with a pasta surprise, in a central venue with an open garden. Book Oficiul 1 ahead, since the way in comes by email. These are the bars we would start with.
