Churchill's Whisky Bar
Whisky and cigar bar on Bănulescu-Bodoni, with a Mexican chef
A whisky and a cigar in the lounge, with Mexican food cooked by a Mexican chef
Worth it for the whisky, the cigar lounge and, unexpectedly, the Mexican food. If you come for cigars, ask for someone who knows them.
Whisky and cigar bar on Bănulescu-Bodoni street, open from midday until midnight, and until 2:00 on Friday and Saturday. Reviews describe a place with the air of a private club, with a serious whisky selection and a cigar lounge that one guest says is well ventilated, clean and remarkably designed. The food is a surprise and comes up in several reviews: the chef is Mexican, and one guest calls it outright the best food in Chișinău, above all for anyone after authentic Mexican cooking. Another says they have eaten better here than in some five-star establishments. The staff are described as professional and attentive, and the prices as reasonable for what you get. There is also a complaint, in a one-star review: a cigar smoker who stepped in to look at the range and the ventilation says the person serving him knew nothing about cigars.

“By far the best food in Chișinău—especially if you’re looking for authentic Mexican cuisine. The chef, Omar, is from Mexico and brings incredible flavor and authenticity to every dish. The service is also excellent. Highly recommended!”
“I attended the Churchill Whiskey bar on the 28th of October, previously by myself but I was so impressed I recommended it to my friends. I returned shortly after in the week with my friends and was met by the professional and accommodating staff. A special shout out to Anna for her courteous attention throughout our visit. I can quite happily say I have had better food here tha…”
- A one-star review says the person serving him knew nothing about cigars
- The same guest had come in specifically to look at the cigar range and the lounge ventilation
- It is oriented towards whisky and cigars, so it is not a place for anyone who cannot stand smoke
- It only opens at midday
