Drink

Stalinskaya vodka from the local shop at the foot of the road leading down from the ANA hotel complex. There is also a pizz place and nightclub, Capra Neagră, which translates roughly into "The Black Goat". It plays euro-pop and dance music into the early hours. This club also serves a wide selection of alcohol including many Western alcopops such as Bacardi Breezers. At this club you can dance on top of speakers and tables overlooking a large dancefloor.

Sleep

The Hotel Poiana, in a complex with the Hotel Sport and Bradul, is a relatively inexpensive hotel owned by the ANA group. Rooms are cleaned daily and there is a self service restaurant available. There is also a bar (ask for the barman Serge, he is lovely!) Expect to see many Western tourists, mainly British, in the winter as they go to Poiana Brasov to ski. An Irish contingent always stays in the complex during late January, and, being one of them, we always felt well taken care of during our stay.
