About the place
The best-reviewed bar in Craiova, on Strada Eugeniu Carada, and it pours local craft beer — which in a city whose drinking scene is otherwise built on volume is the distinction that matters.
If you have one evening, start here. It is two minutes from Piața Mihai Viteazul and a short walk from Strada Traian Demetrescu, the lane that is effectively the city's drinking street: Curtea Berarilor at number 12, The 20's at 14, Fado at 8 and ACSA at 2. Walk the length of it once before deciding; it takes four minutes and it is the whole decision.
For wine rather than beer, Epoca is the only room in Craiova genuinely built around drinking a serious glass sitting down — which matters, because this is a wine region the city under-sells. Segarcea, the former royal Crown Domain, is 29 km south.
One hard note that catches visitors out every year: Romania enforces a zero-tolerance drink-drive limit. Not a low limit — zero. Craiova at night has the rest of the evening, including the honest count of clubs in this city, which is seven.
