Bardot

Nestled in the historic centre of Cluj-Napoca at Piața Muzeului 3, Bardot immediately sets a tone of elegance blended with conviviality. Inside, you’ll find a dimly-lit space with warm wood accents, leather-seated nooks and a well-appointed bar showcasing an extensive selection of spirits — especially whisky and bourbons. Reviews highlight that Bardot boasts “more than 400+ varieties of spirits” and a “beautiful interior… sophisticated and in the same time always prepared to be the best host for its guests”. Drinks are clearly the star: signature cocktails and tailored creations are part of the experience, and the staff are reported to be attentive and capable of crafting bespoke drinks based on your taste. One visitor remarks: “I asked for a more custom cocktail … the waitress was very attentive, regularly checking in to make sure everything was okay.” While Bardot does serve food — the mentions include burgers, pastas and some international dishes — the focus remains strongly on the bar side of the house. Location-wise, being in the museum square (“Piața Muzeului”) places Bardot in a lively part of the city: ideal for pre-drinks, a stylish evening start or nightcap after dinner. According to several reviews the vibe leans upscale-casual: “cozy but warm design … fancy scenario” yet “always prepared to be the best host”. If you’re into exploring spirits, appreciating craft drinks or simply want a refined bar atmosphere in Cluj, Bardot is highly recommended. The cocktail list, whisky selection, ambiance and central location make it a strong contender for “best bar in town” status according to some guests. One review states: “Fantastic!! … for me, this is one of the best cocktail bars in Romania, especially thanks to its amazing collection of bourbon and whiskey.”
