Антикафе "Патефон"
An anti-café at Coșbuc 22 · 25 lei an hour with tea and coffee, board games, concerts, no alcohol or tobacco
A few hours of board games at 25 lei an hour, with tea and coffee at will, or a small concert in the evening
Worth it for an afternoon of board games with friends, paid by the hour, with tea and coffee included and staff who teach you the rules · or for a small concert in a homely atmosphere. The air can be stuffy, per one review.
An anti-café, or "time café", at George Coșbuc street 22, in the centre, open daily 14:00-22:00, with a Telegram channel instead of a website, where it posts its list of games and its events calendar. You pay for time, not for what you consume: "25 lei an hour, but you also can get tea and coffee for free", per one review. Reviews speak of "a very cozy atmosphere", "a good collection of board games" and friendly staff who "will help you figure out the rules of games you haven't tried yet"; "I'm happy that the anti-cafe culture is still alive thanks to these guys". The place "promotes leisure activities without tobacco or alcohol": poetry recitals, concerts, chess, checkers, go, Monopoly; someone went to a concert and found "a soulful atmosphere, homely, cosy and warm". Two reservations: "don't let the cafe's somewhat unsightly surroundings fool you", "hardcore board games for geeks" are missing, and a 3-star review complains about the lack of ventilation · "the air didn't move".

“Everything was good - the atmosphere, it was clean, nice people, etc. We were playing board games. It was 25lei/hour but you also can get tea and coffee for free. Only thing I was disappointed in - the air, it didn't move, there was no ventilation, - but this thing is highly important for me.”
“Localul se potrivește de minune persoanelor care doresc să se recreeze prin intermediul activităților culturale și al sportului intelectual de grup. Anticafeneaua, promovează activitățile de agrement ce nu presumun consumul de tutu ori alcool. Acolo, e posibil de organizat un recital de poezii, concert, joc de șah, dame, go, monopolie și multe altele. Mulțumesc pentru experienț…”
“A great cafe with a very cozy atmosphere, a good collection of board games, and friendly staff. My girlfriend and I really love going there. Don't let the cafe's somewhat unsightly surroundings fool you. They also host a ton of events. The only downside for me is the lack of hardcore board games for geeks, but otherwise, everything is great.”
