Sadly, there's no Guinness on tap, though this is still a fun and rowdy
drinking option most nights. If you're hungry, there's a full menu of Romanian dishes and
grilled meats.
Aysha Café
(Str Armand Călinescu 36; 10.30am-1am Mon-Fri, 1pm-2am Sat & Sun; )
This
popular cafe, club and water-pipe den is proof that Piteşti is not just about old geezers pin-
ing for the good old days - it draws a youngish crowd of late teens and 20s. Weekend
belly-dancing nights can get crowded.
