The Hop

Spacious, with a covered terrace adjacent to street. Claims to have some 10 draught beers, about 30 international bottled beers and 20 from Romania. Service okay though I arrived on a wet Tuesday just after opening – I was one of 4 customers. A comfortable place to sit and chat and generally well-appointed. However, it fails to produce the interest for beer-lovers that adjacent Beer o’Clock and Bere si Bere manage, and its formulaic food (burgers, ribs etc) is not up to the standard of Craft si Draught nor Fabrica de Bere Buna. I opted for a cheeseburger but it was heavy, tough and rubbery, although the bun with its sunflower seeds promised more. The beer menu was notable mainly for those options that were “off” for my visit, though what they served was of good quality. Altogether a mediocre business and a poor also-ran in a street with of several craft-beer bars.

Very close to Beer O'Clock 2. The Hop call themselves a beer house. 12 beers on tap, nothing exciting here, but the bottle selection was a level up,, with 25 Romanian craft beers,, we shared some local bottles . Outdoor seating here as well (Visited October 11th 2019 with Bryne) ?

Only some steps away from Beer O'Clock 2. The Hop is a beer house and kitchen with 12 uninteresting beers on tap, 40 bottled international beers (nothing special) and 25 Romanian craft beers. The Romanian bottles "saved this place" We shared four bottles from Three Happy Brewers, One Beer Later, Sikaru and Mystic Mash. Out door seating in front in the pedestrian zone, the inside bar is one large room with high ceilings. Rock music played (Foo Fighters, Scissors Sisters.....) A decent bar to visit, but I think you will find the craft beer bottles in other bars too. (Visited October 11th 2019 with Gunnar)

New bar joining the Old Town craft beer crawl. Tap selection has nothing interesting (just the usual lagers), but there is a decent craft selection in the fridge - local stuff such as Hop Hooligans, One Beer Later, Three Happy Brewers plus the classic English beers they love over here (Hobgoblin, Spitfire, Old Speckled Hen).
