Shoteria

The name Shoteria points straight to a concept of shots and high-energy partying, typical of a very lively district like the Old Town (Lipscani), where the venue operates with a 4.4 rating from more than 860 Google reviews. It sits in the mid-range price bracket, which keeps it accessible to a broad crowd, mostly young and fun-seeking rather than after a sophisticated evening. Its place on Lipscani's pedestrian streets makes it a natural stop on a bar crawl through Bucharest's nocturnal heart, where venues line up one beside the next, easy to work through without any planning. The shot-led concept suggests a brisk pace, well suited to groups and to the start of a long night, rather than a slow, relaxed evening. It suits a group after a brisk pace from the start of the evening, rather than someone after a slow atmosphere and long conversation. The quarter draws locals and tourists alike, and the density of bars around it, browsable through the city's club listings, always leaves options within reach if you want to carry the evening on after leaving here. Being a pedestrian zone, getting around inside it is strictly on foot, and the way home depends on whatever transport is available from the centre at late hours.
