Good morning from a beautifully sunny Bucharest where the skies are blue and everyone is wearing heavy coats so I assume it is a bit brisk outside.
It is now approaching 10am local and I slept like a baby! No tearing rush to do anything today, the first stop is the restaurant to enjoy the Complimentary breakfast courtesy of Hilton Diamond https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...369b303d5.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4e6288dc3.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e307a0a62.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3b14849f1.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f2c52daf4.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...40cb6b50b.jpeg A small gluten free offering Not the best breakfast spread I’ve seen in Bucharest, but not bad, and there is an egg cooking station for pancakes, waffles, and omelette that I think will be my choice of the morning. Strangely I’m not that hungry this morning, I wonder why? ;) |
A little bit of local research… this map probably covers 15 minutes walk to the furthest point. Only challenge will be the wide variety of opening times, from noon at the earliest to 6pm at the latest… chances are that one will get skipped :D

Nice, as the rain pours down and the wind blows back here in the U.K. I shall follow with interest! 🍻

First Stop: Curtea Berarilor

This is a small beer supposedly! https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...84d0a1f93.jpeg Edit: The bill https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2d71f9909.jpeg |

Stop Two: Csikisor
They brew 11 different beers here, of which six are on tap. These range from a 1.2% blueberry beer through light lagers and on to a 7% dark beer. Really friendly staff, happy to explain all the beers and the history of the tractor! https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4215102d1.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d155f41ed.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ebf20c0a4.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d17e69ef2.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7df99aec9.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d87043d57.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2e1e163ff.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3141341e2.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1770bd511.jpeg No flights unfortunately so starting out in the middle of the pack with the gold lager. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8fb620073.jpeg This is GOOD! Very easy drinking and tastes great. The food menu is in the form of a newspaper and they have a recommended beer for every dish https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5f35d34df.jpeg The international menu versions are online https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...de668512b.jpeg darthlemsip hard to judge atmosphere at not even 1pm on a Sunday but with beer this good and staff this friendly I definitely recommend putting this one on the list. |
The Gold lager was so good that I had to stay and try another, this time the dark beer. I’m no fan of stouts but have had a number of dark beers here in Romania and they’ve all been good. This one is equally tasty, a meal in a glass :)
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...34ee1290f.jpeg Edit: The bill, bargain! https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1cbd3c112.jpeg |
Stop Three: Ground Zero
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cc40bf731.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...84518f272.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7de518f34.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...529190524.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...aa496f09f.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...532999f7a.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e03a0d52a.jpeg Some interestingly named beers here! Starting out with an Easy Rider and a Morning Glory (Oooh Matron!) |
Loving this.....

Beer three is the Experimental Helles. These are beers that they make only once. This one was a bit odd, it had a tang I just could not identify, almost cabbage without being nasty, if that makes any sort of sense what so ever!
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d9ba50ce5.jpeg And the bill https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...64085abe1.jpeg Edit: All three beers were lightly hoppy, and for me they were a bit Meh! Not awful, but equally not somewhere I’d seek out again. |

You know, JapesUK, we should join forces on a joint trip report. We could see who falls under the table first!
