Friday we thought of going out to see what the nightlife was like. We headed out a little before midnight and hit several spots, none of which we stayed at longer than 10 minutes, mostly because they were somewhat empty or the music was wrong. In a couple of street pubs I heard The Kings of Leon, and the like. One interesting place was a club on the roof the National Theater of Bucharest called La Motoare in Laptaria Enache. The entrance to the club was through a side elevator, and you exit through an adjact staircase full of graffiti. Maning the elevator was a woman doing cross-stich, I thought we would have to tip her but I didn’t see any tin with coins. Once on the roof there are picnic tables set out all over. Along the edge of the building were wooden walls and nooks with bean bags set in them- so technically you can’t see down into the city with these wooden walls. I guess it’s safer this way, the drunk kids don’t aren’t tempted to jump onto the city streets below. The place was really relaxing and the night air at that hight was cool and breezy. I’m not sure what exactly my friends were looking for but we left before checking what they had on tap. By the way, beers run for about 1.5USD to 3.50USD.. Lower prices for the local beer like  Ursus, Timisoreana, Ciuc, and for higher for imported beers like Leffe, which is by the way sold almost everywhere here.

Here’s a little historical youtube video about the history of Timisoreana Beer from the Romanian of Timisoara:
