I visited Taproom 27 several times during my visit to Chișinău, and overall, I was quite pleased with it. First of all, the entrance to the venue is tucked away in an alley, making it a bit difficult to notice when passing by. Inside, there are 5-6 tables and stools where you can sit at the American-style bar. The space is limited, so when I first went there, I couldn't find a place to sit.
