Pivzavod
Draft beer shop in Botanica · poured into PET bottles, with delivery across town.
Beer by the litre, poured to order into 1, 1.5 or 2 litre PET bottles · the site sells it as “live” beer, both filtered and unfiltered.
Worth it if you want local beer to take away or to have delivered, not if you are looking for somewhere to sit · Google lists it as a liquor store and the site speaks only of shops and delivery. Know before you go: some of the beer on the list is unfiltered, and one review describes a lot of white sediment in a bottle left for a day, so drink it fresh. The courier takes cash only, and delivery costs 60 lei on orders under 200 lei, 50 lei between 200 and 500 and is free above 500, per the site. One four star review complains about the attitude of a staff member.
Pivzavod is a draft beer shop at Bulevardul Dacia 10 in Botanica, 2.4 km from the centre of Chisinau in a straight line. Google lists it as a liquor store, and its own site talks only about shops and delivery, not about a place with tables. Beer is poured to order into 1, 1.5 and 2 litre PET bottles. The site lists around 20 taps: filtered and unfiltered beer, mostly from Moldovan producers, among them Gotter from Ciorescu, Dion from Cahul and Grand Gold from Cimislia, plus a few from elsewhere such as Zlata Praha from the Czech Republic · a craft section with Elvis from Litra Brewing Company in Puhoi, Beermaster and MaltaHop, and cider and kvass alongside. Site prices are per litre, 40 to 62 lei for beer and 34 lei for kvass. Snacks are packet food: peanuts, pistachios, sujuk, pig ears, crisps, croutons, salted anchovy, fish and squid mixes, 26 to 56 lei. Google hours are 10:00 to 22:00 every day, while delivery orders are taken between 10:00 and 21:00 per the site, with cash payment to the courier only. The site also rents 20 and 25 litre thermokegs, with no price listed and a phone number instead, and a portable beer cooler at 300 lei a day against a deposit equal to the value of the equipment.

“Great selection of beers which is perfect for a hot summer day. The flavors are delicious, and a few options are uniquely memorable. I would’ve rated it five stars if it weren’t for the strange and overly cocky attitude of one of the staff members.”
