A delightful summertime drinking garden hidden behind the derelict Știrbey Palace. To find it, enter the gate to the palace and follow a worn footpath that runs along the palace's right side. The garden is tucked away behind some trees at the back. Line up at the bar for beer, wine or fresh lemonade, find a table and chill.
