Green Hours

This popular, intimate little jazz club on Calea Victoriei is one of your best bets for live music in Bucharest. Getting a table can be nigh on impossible however, so it's strongly suggested that you call and make a reservation. The quality of the art happenings, theatre and live acts in Green Hours is of an unusually high quality almost every night of the week, so don't be surprised if you have to shell out 15 ron at the door, particularly on weekends. Rather like an underground bunker with plush coverings, Green Hours is chill, cosy, casual and smokey, of course. Best of all, between 8:00 and 18:00 the bar takes 20% off your bill, though you'll inevitably have to remind them (and then probably do the math for them as well).
