Traian beer (BERE VIE)

Traian beer (BERE VIE) is a draught beer shop at 27A Haiducilor Street in Codru, with a range of live beer poured from the tap and bottled drinks.

Ratings are above average, but opinions split sharply and all around the same thing — freshness. Some customers come back precisely for the fresh beer and call it the best in the area. Others report sour beer or a barrel smell, and in one case the staff explained the problem as a failure of the cooling system. In practice the experience depends on how fast the keg turns over and on the day of the visit; it is worth asking for a taste before buying a large quantity.

Hours: daily, 10:00-22:00.
