New places in Chișinău on around.md: coffee shops, pubs and quests
Which venues in Chișinău have been added to the around.md catalog over the past month: from an Italian coffee shop to escape rooms and music nights.
The around.md catalog has been enriched with new spots on the map of Chișinău — from a coffee shop in the center to a billiard club and an escape room. We've gathered everything that appeared over the past month into one overview, so you don't have to scroll through the catalog manually. Let's go through the categories: coffee, restaurants and pubs, entertainment, music events, and services.
Coffee and aperitivo in the city center
Caffe delle Colonne is an Italian coffee shop on Ștefan cel Mare și Sfânt Boulevard. In the morning, it serves espresso, breakfasts, and light Italian dishes, while in the evening the venue turns into a spot for aperitivo — with spritz and snacks of salami, cheeses, olives, and grissini. The format is designed so you can stop by both in the morning on your way to work and in the evening for a glass of wine. Among the tags are a terrace, live music, and pizza — meaning the place suits both a quiet coffee alone and a gathering with friends. The venue's rating is one of the highest among the new spots — 4.9 based on 138 reviews.
Craft beer and Texas barbecue
The Taproom by Litra Friends chain joined the catalog with two addresses at once. Taproom by Litra Friends │Centru on Ștefan cel Mare is a pub with its own craft beer from the Litra brand and barbecue cooked in a smoker at its own production facility. The rating here is impressive — 4.6 based on 872 reviews, which is quite a lot for a pub in the city center. The second address — Taproom by Litra Friends│Buiucani on Alba Iulia — offers the same format of drinks and snacks, but closer to a residential district, with a calmer and more intimate atmosphere.
Both places are marked as family-friendly and pet-friendly, so they suit not only an evening out with friends but also a visit with children or a pet.

Entertainment: quests and billiards
For those looking for more active leisure, two venues have appeared in the catalog. Horror Quest Moldova is an escape room in the horror genre, where a team solves puzzles in dark interiors. A rating of 4.3 based on 317 reviews shows that the format has already gathered a regular audience. Suitable for a group of friends who love adrenaline and mysteries.
Tarantino Billiard Club is a billiard club with a calmer leisure format: billiards, cocktails, and a pub atmosphere. Rating 4.3 based on 72 reviews. Among the tags are sports and parking, so getting there and spending the evening playing will be convenient even by car.
MUZLOTO music nights
A special entertainment format is the MUZLOTO music lotto, featured in the catalog at two venues at once. The idea of the game is the same: each participant gets a card with songs, the host draws numbered balls, the corresponding song appears on screen — if you find it on your card, you cross it out, and whoever completes the combination gets a prize.
- МУЗЛОТО on Moscow Avenue takes place at the VOICE CAFE venue on Fridays from 20:00 to 00:00, the ticket costs 200 MDL.
- МУЗЛОТО on Independenței takes place at the Maori venue, the nearest date — Saturday, November 7, from 19:00 to 23:00, the ticket also costs 200 MDL.
Both options are marked as budget-friendly and youth-oriented, with cocktails and hookah service — a good reason to gather a group for an unusual evening instead of a regular restaurant visit.
Flowers and services
Not everything in the catalog is about food and entertainment. Ok Flora - Florărie online Moldova is an online flower shop with delivery of bouquets and plants across Moldova. A rating of 4.2 based on 502 reviews shows that the service is used regularly, not just once. A convenient option if you need to order flowers without visiting a physical store.
Summary
Over the past month, the catalog has been enriched with diverse places: from Italian coffee and craft beer to escape rooms, billiards, and music games. If one of them suits your next evening out — great; if not, the full list of the city's venues can always be found in the Chișinău catalog. And for a family outing, it's worth checking out the selection of restaurants for family outings in Chișinău — there's plenty worth noting there too.
