The Beer Institute - Romanian Craft Beer Shop (Agora Floreasca)

My impressions agree absolutely with the recent paired reviews by Bryne & Gunnar & there is little necessary to add. The selection of beers is confined to Romania but, for the foreigner or Romanian exploring their own beer culture, this could be a plus. I scored it highly on ambience as the tables by the window provide pleasant diversion on a sunny city day. The small shopping centre within which the Beer Institute is situated contains some “high end sophisticated” shops as well as eateries with somewhat inflated prices. However, the Institute supplies a pretty comprehensive selection of Romanian beers to take away or to sample in agreeable conditions.

14 min walk from "Stefan cel Mare" Metro station, went past the Dinamo stadium, and passed several small restaurants until we reached a new fancy shopping mall,2 stories high called Agora Floreasca. Take the central front facing entrance, and head upstairs. You are met by a big shop, Bryne counted 11 big fridges with beers, loaded with Romanian beers and from almost all Romanian brewers, we shared some good beer at the seating area behind the bar,, enjoyed the view to the street and the preparation for the race finish for a local oldtimer car race. Interior was nice, lot of pale wood, scandinavian look, very good service, a very good find out in the suburbs (Visited October 12th 2019 with Bryne)

We walked out here from "Stefan cel Mare" metro station. The Beer Institute is inside a small shopping center on first floor. 11 fridges with great selection of Romanian craft beers. The service minded man claimed that they had bottles or cans from almost all Romanian breweries. We shared four bottles in the small drinking area behind the bar. Four tables with high stools by the window overlooking the Floreasca Avenue. Bright wooden interior, everything looked brand new, which is also the case. Restrooms available around the corner in the shopping center. If you are hungry, there are lots of restaurants in the same building or nearby. I'm glad we did the walk out here!
