Also worth it for

An evening over hookah in the centre, with coals changed at the table and a VIP area for larger groups

Why it’s worth visiting

Worth it for a long evening over hookah in the centre, especially in a group. If there are more than four of you, ask for the VIP area when booking.

The story

Hookah bar on Ștefan cel Mare boulevard, open from 14:00 until 2:00 at night, and until 3:00 at weekends. Reviews consistently praise the team: fast service, friendly people who help you choose from the menu to your taste, and coals changed at the table so you do not have to deal with them. The regular tables suit groups of four, there are a few two-person tables that work if you bring a laptop, and there is a VIP area for larger parties. The music changes from day to day, from classic rock to late-night jazz, electronic or hip hop, and is described as pleasant without drowning out conversation. Food is not cooked on site: per one review, it is ordered from a nearby restaurant or through delivery apps. Google notes outdoor seating, reservations, beer, wine and free parking.
