Craft Baza Chisinau

For beer lovers

Nicoleta from Chisinau

About me I was born in 2003 and live in Chișinău. My passion is coffee, sweets and meeting new people. I like exploring new places, new dishes, new things to do. Why Chisinau Chisinau is the perfect blending of an (almost European) busy capital and the quiet, green town you would love to spend your holiday in. Here you can find any type of food you like, from local dishes ...
""Craft Baza" is a bar in Chisinau for true beer lovers. You can enjoy your favorite beer there and at home. My favorite is the porter..."

A little spoiler for you at the very start of the description of this place: Craft Baza is a drinkers place only. This means that the only food you will find here is beer appetizers like smoked meat and salty peanuts. It is a place for true beer lovers.

The atmosphere is nice, it reminds you a bit more of a café than a bar. The place is a bit cold, so it is better to take a jacket with you if you get cold easily. Craft Baza is one of the very few places where you can taste, drink and take home craft beer, which is also at a reasonable price. They have a lot of different types of beer you will totally love. My favorite is the Porter (dark beer, they have it with the aroma of coffee and chocolate), but I also enjoy a Paulaner from time to time.

The best thing about Craft Baza is that you can buy and enjoy your favorite craft beer at home.
