About this audio guide
This guide to Caru' cu Bere on Stavropoleos Street in Bucharest steps inside the beer hall the Mircea family opened in eighteen ninety-nine, and into the house customs that ran it. You'll meet Nicolae Mircea, a Transylvanian village boy who started as an apprentice, and the poets, magistrates and late-night regulars who filled his tables. One thread follows how the staff served a drink that sounds odd today. Best heard seated in the main hall, with a mug in front of you.
