Control Club is one of the best clubs and terraces in Bucharest with really good music and atmosphere. It's a trendy place for unconventional youngsters, both locals and visitors, in a very central location. They have different halls where you can enjoy DJ sets or concerts, or just have a drink.
There is also a restaurant attached, Alt Shift, where you could get great food in a pleasant atmosphere, but it's best if you have made a reservation beforehand, otherwise it’s always full. (Check out Alex's Alt Shift article)
During the summer, it has an amazing open garden where you can sip a cocktail and just enjoy the vibe.
Tip: On Tuesdays everything is at half price after 22:00!
