Berăria Nenea Iancu, located at 3 Covaci Street in Bucharest’s Old Town, is a throwback to the charm of interwar Romania, paying homage to the iconic playwright Ion Luca Caragiale – aka Nenea Iancu. Since its opening in 2013, the venue has stood out with its vintage interior design that channels the spirit of “Little Paris”.
Its signature offering? The Nenea Iancu beer, a craft brew made exclusively in Bavaria, Germany, following the 1516 German Purity Law. It comes in two versions: a crisp blonde Münchener Lager (4.9% ABV) and a smooth unfiltered Weiss (5.1% ABV).
The menu leans heavily into Romanian culinary classics, from mititei and traditional sausages to generous meat platters and iconic desserts like papanași. Locals claim their mititei are among the best in town – a nod to the legend that they were invented right in this very spot.
