#ALTFEL

#ALTFEL, a name that openly promises a take different from the classic venues of the Old Town (Lipscani), hinting at a crowd not necessarily after the mainstream of an ordinary club night. With mid prices, a 4.2 rating and more than 900 Google reviews, it has built its own community, drawn by the lively atmosphere of the old centre and by the slightly alternative streak the name lays claim to, a different tone from the more classic clubs nearby. Its spot in the heart of the pedestrian zone makes it easy to fold into a night with several stops, drifting naturally between the surrounding venues without depending on transport over long distances. The district, Bucharest's densest hub of nightlife, guarantees energy late into the night and a mix of locals and tourists, whichever evening you pick. It is the kind of spot more often recommended by people who already know the local scene than one stumbled on by chance, which gives it a slightly more authentic feel next to the better-known clubs around it. It is a good choice if you want something with a more personal touch, without the budget of a premium club or the stiffness of a classic spot. Being pedestrian, the area is easy to cross on foot, and for the way home the metro remains the most practical option for those without a car. An evening's programme can vary, so a quick check on the official site before heading out is a simple step that avoids surprises, especially if you want to be sure the venue is open on the exact night you've planned.
