English Bar

About

One of the most famous bars in the Balkans and among the first bars in Bucharest blends over a century of history and tradition with the incredible vibe that comes from being the number one meeting point of the city. A safe haven for many people during troubled times in the 20th century, the bar gained even more notoriety due to Olivia Manning’s The Balkan Trilogy, the famous fiction series which was later made into a BBC production. In 2025, the English Bar gets a well-deserved revival and becomes The English Bar, blending its rich past with a modern, refreshing touch that elevates the guest experience while preserving its timeless allure. While the soul of the English Bar remains unchanged, a thoughtful facelift introduces elegant new elements that complement its heritage.
