Insomnia, in a cellar just off Piața Unirii, is the kind of long-standing local bar that has outlasted every passing trend. Brick vaults, low lighting, a long bar with cheap drinks, and a soundtrack that drifts between rock, jazz, and electronica depending on the night.
The crowd is mixed — students, journalists, musicians — and the place gets going late. Live music and DJ nights happen a few times a week. Cash works best.
