Timisoara has a growing craft-beer scene, with taprooms, pubs and beer bars serving Romanian and international brews across the centre and the creative districts. Reflecting the citys youthful, university-driven energy, these venues offer a relaxed and sociable alternative to the terrace bars of the squares, often with their own events and music. The craft-beer pubs add another dimension to the nightlife of the western Romanian city and are a pleasant way to spend an evening.
