nightlife Cluj-Napoca: quiet and dynamic, the capital of Transylvania offers a wide choice of discos, bars and nightclubs where you can have fun and dance with young Romanian vampires!
nightlife Cluj-Napoca
Cluj-Napoca is a beautiful city in Romania that represents a mix of dynamism and culture. In fact, out of about 500,000 inhabitants, one hundred thousand are university students! Cluj is also the capital of Transylvania , famous worldwide for the legend of Dracula. Basically, Cluj-Napoca is a young and lively city, full of clubs, pubs, restaurants and events. Its historic center is wonderful, full of old-world charm.
The nightlife of Cluj Napoca is very lively: pubs and clubs are scattered along the streets of the centre. The bars have a familiar and deliberately neglected look, with an almost artistic style, probably to boycott the too elegant aspect of the expensive clubs. The artistic aspect is a widespread trend in the nightlife of Cluj-Napoca . The bars want to offer a completely new experience, such as, for example, The Soviet , whose decor is inspired by communist motifs.
Whether you want a couple of cheap pints (you can drink it for just 5 LEI) in a bar with some live music, or dance the night away in a club with lots of beautiful girls, the nightlife of Cluj-Napoca can meet your needs. There is even a street full of student bars, called Str Piezisa . The city has a lot to offer for anyone in search of good nightlife: the clubs are open until dawn, until the last person leaves.

(Plata Unirii 19, Cluj-Napoca) If you've come to Cluj-Napoca and haven't been to the Janis Club , then you haven't been to Cluj. Located on Eroilor , the Janis is open every night and is always busy: the beer flows freely and people are more likely to dance by jumping up and down with their hands in the air than by stepping or swaying to the beat. This can be explained by the rock music dominating the playlist and it might be very difficult to dance to it without first having a couple of shots. Janis Club : This sweaty cavern draws locals in with guest DJs, themed nights, karaoke, and a soundtrack that ranges from Pink Floyd to The Doors.
Diesel Club
(Plata Unirii 17, Cluj-Napoca) The Diesel Club , located in Unirii square , is an elegant club in Cluj-Napoca , one of those places to “see and be seen”.

Diesel Club
(Plata Unirii 17, Cluj-Napoca) The Diesel Club , located in Unirii square , is an elegant club in Cluj-Napoca , one of those places to "see and be seen". Despite this Diesel is a great place to have fun: the DJ knows how to get the best out of this crowd and the people are friendlier than you might think. The club is frequented mainly by foreigners and beautiful Romanian girls: its fame comes from the fact that the drinks are more expensive than many other clubs in the city, attracting wealthier men and girls looking for men. Definitely a great place to dance and feast your eyes.
New Janis Club
(Plata Unirii 19, Cluj-Napoca) If you have come to Cluj-Napoca and have not been to the Janis Club , then you have not been to Cluj. Located on Eroilor , Janis is open every night and is always busy: the beer flows freely and people are more likely to dance by jumping up and down with their hands in the air than by stepping or swaying to the beat. This can be explained by the rock music that dominates the playlist and it could be very difficult to dance to without having had a couple of shots first. Janis Club : This sweaty cave draws locals with guest DJs, theme nights, karaoke and a soundtrack that ranges from Pink Floyd to The Doors.
