4 editor picks in Chișinău.
Chișinău's bar culture blends cocktails with the city's strong beer and shot-bar traditions, most of it in Centru. Taproom by Litra & Friends and Beer House lean toward craft beer, while Marlène works the dedicated cocktail-bar register. Piana Vyshnia brings the Ukrainian cherry-liqueur bar format into the mix, so the central cluster spans several drinking styles in a small area.
