An outdoor bar in a walled yard on Strada Frații Buzești, a few doors down from [[casa-plesia]] and a short walk south of the square. Long trestle benches under a fig tree, a raised timber deck, wine barrels for standing tables, festoon lights and old iron railings left where they were. Beer is the point — taps at a bar built into the corner of the yard — and there is a pizza counter in the same yard rather than in a separate place. Overhead misters run along the deck, which is the reason the yard stays usable on a hot evening. Cats live here and the regulars feed them.
Ya nat dranking ... wat wrang wit ya ...?
Overheard in the yard, 24 August 2026
Coana Pizza works out of a hatch in the same yard: a lit chalkboard of classics and signature pizzas, whole or as pizzetta, plus focaccia, fries and beer sticks. You order at the hatch and carry it to whatever bench you are on. Not a separate restaurant — part of the same yard.
Three kinds of seating in one yard: the trestle benches under the fig, which fill first; the raised deck under the misters, which is the coolest spot; and barrels and high tables along the cobbles for standing. It runs late, and it gets loud once it fills up — come early if you want to hear each other.
