The best rock/jazz live music venue in Brasov. The owner is an amazing old-school rocker that organises, yearly, one of the best black/grind-core metal festivals in Romania, called Rockstadt Extreme Fest. Don't miss this spot if you consider that “rock” music and simplicity blends with your soul...
